Celliant

2005 – Effects of Celliant on oxygen levels in the skin

Overview
CelliantTM is a specially formulated material that is designed to enhance oxygen levels in the body. Products enhanced with Celliant have been clinically proven to relieve pain, increase comfort and aid in healing by increasing oxygen levels and helping to regulate body temperature. Below is a summary of the results of a double-blind study completed in 2005 and designed to measure the ability of Celliant to increase oxygen levels in the skin.

Study Background
The study was conducted by Graham M. McClue, Ph. D., a researcher with Hyperbaric Treatment & Training Services Ltd., an independent research facility in Houston, Texas. Dr. McClue compared products with Celliant to placebo products on the hands and feet of 13 healthy subjects. He measured changes in transcutaneous oxygen, a measure of oxygen in the body, over a period of one hour. The study was double blind, meaning that neither the participants nor Dr. McClue knew which products contained Celliant until after measurements were taken.

Results
The study successfully showed that patients wearing products with Celliant showed a statistically significant increase in transcutaneous oxygen. As shown in figures below, this increase was significant (10% to 24%). According to Dr. McClue, “Celliant does, in fact, increase oxygen perfusion levels by 10% to 24% in a healthy non-compromised population.”

With regard to the benefits of the product, Dr. McClue goes on to state that “Increased oxygen profusion has been shown to aid in the increase of energy. Energy produced at the cellular level will accelerate muscle tissue recovery from exercise, which is known to induce lactic acid increases, rebuild strength in muscles damaged by exercise, and also reduce the incidence of cramping, edema, and muscle fatigue post strenuous exercise in athletic conditioning.”
