Improving Blood Flow with Celliant in the Hands and Feet of High-Risk Diabetics

Improving Blood Flow with Celliant in the Hands and Feet of High-Risk Diabetics Due to a condition called atherosclerosis, which reduces the circulation of blood in the body, diabetics often suffer from aching feet, leg pain, and problems with slowness in wound healing. Products enhanced with Celliant have been shown to reduce pain and improve circulation, so we examined the effect of these products on atherosclerotic diabetics.

The study was conducted by Lawrence A. Lavery, DPM, MPH, an associate professor in the department of orthopedic surgery and rehabilitation at Loyola University Medical Center and Hines Veterans Administration Hospital in Chicago. Dr. Lavery compared products with Celliant to placebo products on the hands and feet of 20 diabetics. He measured changes in transcutaneous oxygen, a measure of oxygen in the body. The study was double blind, meaning that neither the participants nor Dr. Lavery knew which products contained Celliant until after measurements were taken.

After less than an hour, patients wearing products with Celliant showed a statistically significant increase in transcutaneous oxygen. As shown in figures to the right, this increase was observed in both hands and feet, at every ten-minute testing interval.

According to Dr. Lavery, “this study provides objective evidence to support what many of us have observed or heard from people that have worn products enhanced with Celliant. It shows a significant increase in blood flow in the skin in both the hand and foot when study subjects wore the garments.”

With regard to the benefits of the product, Dr. Lavery goes on to state that “an 8 to 12% improvement in skin oxygenation could increase marginal circulation enough to improve wound-healing or eliminate leg pain caused by atherosclerosis or other blood flow obstructions. The significant changes observed are very compelling.”
