The Ultimate Guide to Red Light Therapy: How to Use Red and Near-Infrared Light Therapy for Anti-Aging, Fat Loss, Muscle Gain, Performance Enhancement, and Brain Optimization

by Ari Whitten

“Several pieces of evidence suggest that mitochondria are responsible for the cellular response to red visible and near-infrared light. The effects of (red and near-infrared light) on mitochondria isolated from rat liver, have included increased proton electrochemical potential, more ATP synthesis, increased RNA and protein synthesis and increases in oxygen consumption, membrane potential, and enhanced synthesis of NADH and ATP.”32 This point deserves special attention, because a huge amount of research in the last decade points to the mitochondria as being critical to health, disease prevention, energy levels, and longevity.
