(Newswire.net — September 8, 2021) —In the age of COVID — sleep, minor pain relief, stress support, and overall well-being have never been more important. With ever-changing mask mandates, new virus variants, and chatter about breakthrough infections — we’ve been on heightened alert as a society and a species for over a year and a half. Perhaps this is why San Diego-based LifeWave has been getting so much attention. LifeWave is a leader in wearable phototherapy technology, and its non-transdermal patches have quickly become the perfect solution for imperfect times. 

LifeWave has mastered the use of light to support the natural activity of stem cells to deliver more energy, better sleep, enhanced well-being, and improved overall health. While their wafer-thin, adhesive patches are convenient, effective, and affordable — the true merit of the LifeWave phenomenon lies in the science. 

 

LifeWave Patches Are Different

Transdermal patches, as a delivery system, have taken the world by storm. There are thermal patches, CBD patches, and analgesic patches used for muscle pain, joint pain, lower back pain, and even menstrual discomfort. Typical ingredients in OTC analgesic patches include lidocaine, capsaicin, menthol, wintergreen oil, and eucalyptus oil. 

Non-transdermal LifeWave products are different, however. They do not contain chemicals, medications, or drugs but rather are embedded with nano-scale crystals that reflect specific wavelengths of light. This stimulates certain points on the skin, triggering biochemical changes. One of which is the activation of copper tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu), known to mobilize and support stem cells, helping to optimize their effectiveness as one of the body’s key repair and regenerative tools. 

 

According to Dr. Loren Pickart[1] (who first isolated the tripeptide from human plasma in 1973) and Dr. Anna Margolina, “The human peptide GHK (glycyl-l-histidyl-l-lysine) has multiple biological actions, all of which, according to our current knowledge, appear to be health positive … It stimulates blood vessel and nerve outgrowth … and its ability to improve tissue repair has been demonstrated for skin, lung connective tissue, boney tissue, liver, and stomach lining. GHK has also been found to possess powerful cell-protective actions.

No other non-transdermal relief product matches the science of LifeWave’s wearable phototherapy technology. The company regularly collaborates with major universities and renowned medical facilities to research and test the effectiveness of its proprietary patches. Here’s an overview of some of their most recent clinical studies involving their flagship product X39.

 

STUDY ONE: Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Oxidant Action

Double-Blind Testing of the LifeWave X39 Patch to Determine GHK-Cu Production Levels

Internal Medicine Research – Open Journal. Published: Volume 6. Issue One. March 07, 2021. 

Caitlin A Connor, Melinda H Connor, David Yue, Jens Eickhoff, Susan Wagner, and Amy Chang.

 

Purpose: To determine if the LifeWave X39 non-transdermal photobiomodulation active patch would show improved production of GHK-Cu over controls in a double-blind randomized controlled trial.

 

Conclusion: This study showed a significant increase in the GHK-Cu concentration present in the blood as a result of wearing the LifeWave X39 patch for 1 week in individuals age 40 to 80. This is seen from Day 2 to Day 7 between Active vs. Control in GHK-Cu Concentration (ng/ml) at p<0.035 and in Total GHK-Cu (ng) at p<0.03.

 

STUDY TWO: Vitality, Sleep Quality, Muscle Relaxation

Phototherapy Induced Metabolism Change Produced by the LifeWave X39 Non-transdermal Patch

International Journal of Research Studies in Medical and Health Sciences 
Volume 6, Issue 5, 2021, PP 08-14 (2021) Phototherapy Induced Metabolism 
 

Purpose: To determine X-39 patch impact in the stimulation of copper peptide biosynthesis and bio-available amino acid levels, neurotransmitters production, memory, sleep quality, vitality, muscle relaxation, and blood pressure.

 

Conclusion: The results of the double-blind randomized controlled trial of 50 subjects with a mean age of 63 years, using the LifeWave non-transdermal X-39 phototherapy patch worn 8-12 hours per day for seven days produced an increase in 8 amino acids at significant levels. The study showed, there was an improvement in short term memory as measured by the WAIS-III memory test at significant levels over 7 days, in Quality of Sleep at significant levels within 24 hours, and a self-reported increase in vitality at near significant levels in 7 days as measured by the Arizona Integrative Outcomes scale. Our findings suggest this patch is not only stimulating the biosynthesis of copper-peptide production but also increases neurotransmitters production and improves metabolism. 

 

STUDY THREE: Blood Pressure, Inflammation, Memory

LifeWave X39 Pilot Demonstrates Light Triggered Changes
International Journal of Healing and Caring. Volume 20. Issue 2. May 2020. 

Melinda H. Connor, DD, Ph.D., AMP, FAM, Caitlin A. Connor, MAcOM, DAOM, Naran Gombosuren, Ph.D., Jens Eickhoff, Ph.D., and Leonard Pugh, MAcOM.

 

Purpose: To determine if metabolic and physiological changes were produced by participants wearing the LifeWave non-transdermal X39 phototherapy patch.

 

Results: Significant changes were seen in most essential and nonessential amino acids over the period of one week. These changes include: 

1. Changes of inflammatory markers and their metabolites 
2. Improvement in sleep quality 
3. Reduction in blood pressure 
4. Improvement in short term memory 
5. Improvement in reported feelings of vitality

 

STUDY FOUR: Improved Cognitive Function, Rapid Pain Relief, Wound Healing

Experimental Study of LifeWave, Inc. X-39 patches

The Centre for Biofield Sciences – Integrated Health (2018)

 

Purpose: The pilot study aims to examine a number of claims for the product. Here are common experiences people have with the X-39 patch: improvement in energy, very deep sleep, rapid pain relief, rapid recovery from exercise, improved sports performance, improved cognitive function, improved libido, accelerated wound healing, healing of old injuries, tightening of the skin

 

Conclusion: The pilot study demonstrates a statistically significant improvement in the experimental group when compared to the control group. It can be concluded that X-39 patches are effective in bringing positive changes in the biofield and improving the overall wellness of a person.

A Biologic Band-Aid®

Since 2004, LifeWave has helped people around the world live fuller, freer, and more active lives. Their phototherapy technology is good news for those that have been stifled by anxiety, pain, and discomfort — particularly after months of inactivity. 

 

LifeWave patches are safe, easy to use, and harness the body’s own regenerative power to support increased energy, better sleep, improved mental focus, and on-the-spot relief from minor aches and pains. 

Applied to the skin with stick-and-go convenience, LifeWave patches enhance stem cell activity for pinpoint pain relief and full body renewal. Each patch is packed with powerful health benefits based upon light, energy, and an innate biologic process instead of drugs, chemicals, or topical anesthetics. 

 

And they have something else, the POWER OF SCIENCE.
