Clinical & Scientific References

Lumiton clothing converts UV and visible light into red/near-infrared light for the body. This convenience was developed due to the hundreds of peer-reviewed medical studies that conclude light, particularly red/NIR light, penetrates the body and energizes it at a cellular level, with measurable benefits to skin, joints, muscles, performance, and overall wellness. Here are some of the studies.
