CLINICALLY PROVEN

The Science Advisory Board works with primary investigators
to rigorously test and validate the science of infrared and
its benefits. This includes experts in photobiology,
nanotechnology, sleep medicine, human physiology, diabetes and
wound care. To date, Hologenix has 10 peer-reviewed published studies.

RECOGNIZED WORLDWIDE BY GOVERNMENT REGULATORY AGENCIES

The FDA determined products containing CELLIANT® are medical devices because they are intended to temporarily increase blood flow and local circulation at the site of application in healthy individuals.

The FDA has determined that CELLIANT® products are medical devices as defined in section 201(h) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and are general wellness products.

The FDA has not approved or designated CELLIANT® products for any purpose and has not made any determination about, or endorsement of, its stated use or benefits.
As part of the 513(g) submission process, the FDA reviewed and commented on appropriate health and wellness claims for CELLIANT products.

CELLIANT® is designated as a Class 1 Medical Device in Australia, Canada, the European Union, Japan, New Zealand, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom. CELLIANT® is cleared to market in China, India, Indonesia, Korea, Mexico, Peru, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam, with more countries and regions to follow.
