Science and Research
LifeWave X39

Eight independent studies show that our flagship X39 patch works to increase copper-peptide production in blood, which can improve tissue repair, stimulate blood vessel and nerve growth, and improve skin.

Study A

A double-blind randomized control study published in the International Journal of Research Studies in Medical and Health Sciences revealed a significant increase in the production of 8 amino acids, which improved short-term memory, sleep, and vitality.

Read study A

Study B

A double-blind test published in the Journal of Internal Medicine Research showed a significant increase in copper-peptide concentrations in the blood of subjects who had worn X39 patches for 1 week.

Phototherapy

Leveraging light to improve and extend our lives

By capturing visible and infrared light, LifeWave’s health technology is revolutionizing the way we can leverage light to improve and extend our lives.

For centuries, phototherapy has been used to improve health. Phototherapy, sometimes called light therapy or photobiomodulation, works by using a mechanism to reflect or shine light into the body to stimulate cellular activity. With LifeWave, our patches act as that mechanism, reflecting visible and infrared light back into the body.

As an example, our X39 patch reflects light back into the body, stimulating cellular activity.

This paper examines the research on low-level light therapy:

Acupressure

Working with the body’s meridians

Acupressure works like acupuncture, which is based on the concept that we all have a human energy field that flows through “meridians” in the body. The belief held in traditional Chinese medicine is that blockages in those meridians cause health problems, disease, and illness.

By applying slight pressure to various acupuncture points, each of which correspond to those meridians, the belief is that symptoms can be relieved. Various studies have demonstrated its effectiveness against things like pain and obesity.

This study showed that acupressure was a safe, easy, and effective way for emergency responders to alleviate pain during transport to hospitals.

The Treatment of Obesity by Acupuncture

Acupuncture stimulates the auricular branch of the vagal nerve, which has been shown to increase tone in the smooth muscle of the stomach, thus suppressing appetite. It also controls stress and depression via endorphin and dopamine production. In addition to these effects, it is thought that the increases of plasma levels of beta endorphin naturally occurring after acupuncture application can contribute to body weight. This is accomplished by mobilizing the body energy depots by lipolithic effect. Through these mechanisms, acupuncture application can be seen as an effective therapy in the treatment of obesity.

LifeWave Strength Test at Morehouse College

In this double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 44 student athletes at Morehouse wore either real LifeWave patches or placebo patches. The participants in the LifeWave group experienced a much greater average improvement in repetitions of 225 lb. and 185 lb. bench press—even after an intense 60-minute upper-body workout. The placebo group improved repetitions from Monday to Thursday by an average of 4.9%; the LifeWave group by 34%.
