Vitamin D Therapy System Technical Info

1. First, the ultraviolet light composition of the Optimal Health Center Vitamin D Therapy System is optimized to reduce sunburn and to increase vitamin D and melanin production; the UV lights are 99.5% UVA ray and 0.5% UVB ray within the wavelengths of 280-400 nanometer. (Most tanning beds are typically 95% UVA and 5% UVB, +/-3%.) This ratio of UV light may allow your body to create 20,000IU of vitamin D in one session, without the harmful effects of burning. Most importantly, this ration of UV light allows your body to naturally produce and regulate proper amounts of Vitamin D for you, as an individual. In significant ways, this controlled ratio of UV light works better for your body: with sunshine, you never know what ration of UV light you are getting (given pollution, reflecting, time of day, various skin types, etc.).
   
   
2. Red light lamps, in the 633 nm range on the light spectrum, reverse wrinkles and help give you a more youthful skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production. Elastin is a protein in connective tissue that is elastic and allows many tissues in the body to resume their shape after stretching or contracting. Elastin helps skin to return to its original position when it is poked or pinched. Use of red light helps in wound healing, increasing the flow of blood, and cellular regeneration.
   
   
3. Infrared light, in the 800-1200 nm range, is an added therapy lamp that provides temporary relief of muscle and joint pain, stiffness, and spasms; stimulates increased blood flow, regeneration, circulation and oxygenation; is excellent for detoxification through the skin; stimulates enzyme activity and metabolism; strengthens the immune and cardiovascular systems; and promotes the killing of many pathogenic bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.
