Red and near-infrared light therapy helps cells breathe better by moving nutrients in and pushing waste out. Inflamed cells hold onto metabolic trash, but this light boosts ATP energy production and clears the buildup, reducing inflammation.

It's going to help with inflammation because it's going to help with cellular respiration, which just like our respiration where we breathe air in and breathe air out, it helps to take good stuff in and we breathe bad stuff out, and then the cycle goes on. But when your cells do that, the other thing that they do naturally is they take the trash out, and inflamed cells tend to hold on to more trash. So red near-infrared light therapy is going to help to improve the movement into the cell of good stuff, improve the oxidative capacity and the redox status, and improve the actual energy production. But also then that is going to improve the exit of the garbage.
