Rapid Effects of a Biofield Patch on Antioxidant Status and Cellular Energy
Natural Immune Systems Inc
Summary
The goal for this clinical proof-of-concept study is to compare an active biofield skin patch to a placebo patch on antioxidant function and mitochondrial function. A double-blind, placebo-controlled cross-over study design will be used.
Description
The goal for this clinical proof-of-concept study is to document acute effects of a photobiomodulating non-transdermal patch compared to a placebo patch, in an acute randomized double-blind placebo-controlled cross-over design. An add-on open-label module involves wearing the active patch daily for a week before the final clinic visit. Data on endogenous antioxidant protection will be collected. The testing will show whether wearing the patch leads to a change in antioxidant activity of superoxide dismutase and glutathione. Data on cellular energy production and mitochondrial resilience in wh…
