CELLIANT® has 11 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. To date, there are numerous peer-reviewed, published studies that collectively demonstrate the efficacy of CELLIANT and the benefits of infrared. 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 CELLIANT studies is tissue oxygen (TcPO2) levels. Successful TcPO2 outcomes are indicators that CELLIANT effectively increases local circulation and cellular oxygenation, and form the basis of its full range of benefits. In further exploring these specific benefits, research has examined the interactions between IR and biomarkers such as sleep efficiency, improving grip strength, and increasing anaerobic threshold by lowering VO2. In addition to the clinical trials overseen by our Science Advisory Board, authorized CELLIANT brand partners have overseen peer-reviewed research that further validates the benefits of CELLIANT products. Significant findings from our collective research are summarized below.

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.
