Red Light Therapy
Step into a 10-minute session on commercial-grade MitoPRO panels, right here at TLAC in Columbus, Indiana. Open to members and guests.
The science
How does red light therapy work?
Mito Red Light, the maker of our panels, explains it in three steps.
Light reaches your cells
Red and near-infrared light, in six wavelengths from 590 to 850 nm, reaches your skin and the cells beneath it.
Mitochondria absorb it
Mitochondria, the energy centers of your cells, are thought to absorb that light.
Cells make more energy
That is thought to boost ATP, the energy currency of your cells.
