Red-Light Therapy and Cellular Energy

RedSpectrum 24 can help boost your Cellular Energy. 

Red (630–700 nm) and near-infrared (800–1000 nm) wavelengths penetrate skin and tissue, reaching cell structures—particularly the mitochondria, the “power plants” of cells.

• The key target is cytochrome c oxidase (CCO), an enzyme in the mitochondrial respiratory chain responsible for producing ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the main form of cellular energy.

Under stress or inflammation, nitric oxide (NO) can bind to CCO and block oxygen from binding, slowing down ATP production.

• When red/near-infrared light hits CCO, it releases nitric oxide, freeing up the enzyme to bind oxygen again.
• This restores the electron transport chain, allowing efficient energy generation.

With oxygen flow restored and electron transport optimized, mitochondria can produce more ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.

• More ATP means more energy for cell repair, regeneration, and overall function.

• Hamblin MR (2017) – Found that photobiomodulation enhances mitochondrial respiration, increases ATP synthesis, and reduces oxidative stress.
• Karu T. (2010) – Demonstrated that CCO is a primary photoacceptor for red and near-infrared light, leading to higher energy output in cells.
• Passarella & Karu (2014) – Reported increased mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP production following red-light exposure.
• Ferraresi et al. (2015) – Showed muscle cells exposed to RLT had higher ATP levels and improved performance in human trials.

✅ In short: Red-Light Therapy boosts cellular energy by stimulating mitochondria, freeing up oxygen flow, and ramping up ATP production—giving cells more fuel to repair, regenerate, and function at their best.
