Key Points
- Red light therapy combined with near-infrared and UVB light can be a powerful tool for health and wellness, but it's crucial to use it safely and follow guidelines to avoid potential harm.
- The Mitelux device is designed to mimic natural sunlight, offering a balanced exposure to various wavelengths, which may help in producing vitamin D, improving mood, and potentially supporting hormonal health.
- While the science behind light therapy is promising, more specific clinical trials and research are needed to confirm the efficacy and safety of products like Mitelux, especially for claims related to hormone levels, metabolism, and other health benefits.
