CELLIANT® has 10 peer-reviewed, published
studies to date.
While infrared has long been established as a wellness tool, Hologenix has revolutionized this technology with a modern twist: adding CELLIANT infrared minerals to textile products. We seek to simultaneously continue to establish and validate the science behind the efficacy of CELLIANT and IR textiles through our clinical research. To download a full report of CELLIANT clinical trials, click below, or scroll further for each individual report and a summary of key outcomes.
A central end point of the majority of our studies has been tissue oxygen (TcPO2) levels. Successful TcPO2 outcomes are indicators that CELLIANT effectively increases local circulation and cellular oxygenation, which form the basis of its full range of benefits. In further exploring these specific benefits, we have examined the interactions between infrared and biomarkers such as improving grip strength, sleep efficiency and increasing anaerobic threshold by lowering VO2. Significant findings of our peer-reviewed, published studies have been summarized below.

In addition to our clinical trial research, CELLIANT has undergone a variety of mechanical tests, including ash analysis, dry rate, emissivity properties, heat and insulation and UV protection. These reports highlight the unique properties of CELLIANT as a textile ingredient.
Hologenix is committed to expanding the available body of research on IR-emitting textiles and the benefits of infrared light therapy. If you are interested in partnering with us, whether to share protocol, outcomes and ideas, or looking to utilize CELLIANT infrared technology as part of your own body of research, we would be happy to collaborate. Please reach out to our testing team via testing@celliant.com.

The increase in tissue oxygenation will be measurable anywhere from 5-30 minutes from use.
For all practical purposes when you are no longer in close proximity to the CELLIANT product, you will stop getting its direct benefits.
