Far infrared is a vital source of “light” energy that you're probably not getting enough of. It’s part of the electromagnetic spectrum of sunlight that’s safe and extremely beneficial to your health. If you want the scientific explanation, then click here.

Just understanding the basic correlation between FIR and your health will simply amaze you. This incredible "biogenetic energy" is a fundamental catalyst to improving and maintaining your complete wellness.

Specific wavelengths of far infrared (6-14 microns) are easily absorbed deep within the cells of your skin and soft tissues. Once these “vital rays” come in contact with proteins, collagen and fats, they 'fire' micro-circulation, fine-tune cellular functioning and flush toxins from the body. These are the basics, if you want to know more then click here.

In order for you to receive any benefit from far infrared it must be within a specific range of FIR wavelengths. I can’t help but chuckle every time I here this question, because it doesn’t really matter what anyone recommends. Your body’s cells will only absorb 6-14 micron wavelengths of far infrared rays, the rest pass through harmlessly. Looks like mother nature is the only one with authority on this one.

The answers I’ve heard to this particular question over the years appear to be all over the map! Everything from a few centimeters to 4 ½ inches. I think the bottom line is really that far infrared penetrates deep within the living tissues of your body. If you want the numbers then I think these are the most accurate to date; 1.5 to 2.8 inches (approx. 3.75 - 7 cm).

The bio-ceramics we impregnate into Prolotex™ materials are made up of a special formula of natural lead free stones and minerals (like Silica Oxide (SiO2). These bio-ceramics absorb and emit far infrared rays (FIR).

• 26 kinds of ceramics with various mineral oxides are mixed together.
• When mixed together these materials naturally emit FIR (Far Infrared Rays)
• Mixture is then heated together at 1600'C. Once cooled the formula is then called "Bio-Ceramics"
• Bio-Ceramics are capable of emitting FIR (Far Infrared Rays) Also know as biogenetic rays.

Prolotex™ is the accumulative result of years of research and development in the Far Infrared Therapy market. We use only the most technically advanced materials proven to be safe and effective in our products.

Prolotex™ products are made in Canada. Our head office is located in Delta BC.

All Prolotex™ therapy gloves are made with the ultimate bio-ceramic patented formula. Over the years we have learned to perfect the balance of these special materials in order to offer you the most effective therapy glove on the market today.

This revolutionary nanotech formula is impregnated into the fibers of our gloves. Offering the best possible absorption, reflection and emission of health benefiting far-infrared rays. 

Here are just a few of the benefits our gloves will help you enjoy;

	Decreases joint stiffness.
	Relieves muscle spasms.
	Increases blood flow.
	Help reduce pain and agony.
	Repair soft tissue injury.
	Increases the extensibility of collagen tissue.

No. You do not need to use any electrical plugins or batteries for Prolotex™ far infrared therapy gloves to work. The healing FIR is emitted from the bio-ceramics impregnated into the fibers of Prolotex™ material.

Numerous clinical tests conducted on the efficacy of far infrared products have concluded that they can significantly help to relieve pain. Customers who wear Prolotex™ gloves have reported convincing pain relief from numerous types of ailments including: arthritis, rheumatism, carpal tunnel syndrome, numbness of extremities, sports injuries, circulatory problems, and more...

Numerous medical studies have proven the benefiting efficacy of far infrared. Dr. Sasaki Kyuo, M.D. has conducted the most extensive research on the therapeutic uses of far infrared therapy. She is the author of "The Scientific Basis and Therapeutic Benefits of Far Infrared Ray Therapy". Read more about research.

Yes, the FIR emitted from the material will still work if the gloves are a bit damp or wet. The Moisture will not affect the Infrared Rays provided it doesn't get HOT - like in a Dryer. 

Absolutely!
