ATP Production and Mitochondria Function

630nm Research

HeroSeries panels and face masks use 630nm red light

660nm Research

  • 660 nm LED Boosts Mitochondrial Activity in Stem Cells

    In a lab study on stem cells from knee tissue, shining 660 nm red LED light for a few minutes increased mitochondrial energy output by up to 72%, helping cells make more ATP (the body's energy currency) for better growth and repair, which could aid in healing injuries.

  • 660 nm Light Increases ATP and Mitochondrial Potential

    Researchers found that 660 nm light (delivered via LED) on fat-derived stem cells raised ATP levels and mitochondrial voltage in a dose-specific way, meaning it helps mitochondria work better to produce energy and handle stress, like giving cells a power boost.

  • 660 nm LED Enhances Brain Cell Energy Production

    Applying 660 nm red LED light to brain cells under stress activated key mitochondrial enzymes, increasing ATP production and reducing harmful molecules, which could protect the brain and improve overall cellular health by optimizing energy factories inside cells.

  • 670 nm LED Stimulates ATP in Mitochondria

    Studies showed that 670 nm red LED light (practical overlap with 660nm) targets mitochondrial enzymes to speed up electron flow, boosting ATP production and helping cells heal faster, as seen in wound recovery.

810nm Research

  • 810 nm LED Boosts Mitochondrial Redox and ATP Production In Vivo

    In a study on human forearms, 810 nm LED light significantly increased oxidized cytochrome c oxidase and oxygenated hemoglobin, enhancing mitochondrial redox activity and potentially increasing ATP through improved oxidative phosphorylation, as a safer alternative to lasers.

  • 810 nm PBM Increases ATP in Cortical Nerve Terminals

    Photobiomodulation at 810 nm showed a power-dependent increase in ATP production in cortical nerve terminals by modulating mitochondrial function, supporting better energy release and neurotransmitter activity without damage.

830nm Research

  • 830 nm LED Enhances Cytochrome C Oxidase Activity for Better ATP

    In studies on cells poisoned by toxins that block nerve signals, pretreatment with 830 nm LED light reversed the damage by boosting the activity of cytochrome c oxidase, a key mitochondrial enzyme, leading to improved energy production (ATP) and healthier mitochondria without any harm.

  • 850 nm LED Increases ATP Synthesis in Muscles

    Research on different muscle types showed that LED therapy at 850 nm (very close to 830 nm and often used interchangeably in NIR light therapy due to similar penetration and cellular effects) ramped up ATP production, especially in aerobic muscles, by energizing mitochondria for better performance and recovery.

850nm Research

  • 850 nm LED Increases Mitochondrial Potential and ATP in Muscle Cells

    In a lab study on mouse muscle cells, a device with 850 nm near-infrared LEDs (and some red) shone for 90 seconds boosted the cells' energy factories (mitochondria) and ATP levels, peaking at 3–6 hours after treatment, which could help muscles work better and recover faster.

  • 850 nm LED Affects Mitochondrial Respiration in Bone Cells

    Treating bone-building cells with 850 nm LEDs (part of a multi-wavelength setup) for short daily sessions over days changed how mitochondria breathe oxygen—at higher doses, it ramped up max respiration, hinting at more ATP energy, and activated genes for stronger bones.

  • 850 nm LED Improves Systemic Mitochondrial Function and ATP

    Exposing people to an 850 nm LED panel for 15 minutes improved vision by penetrating the body and boosting mitochondrial activity and ATP production, even when light didn’t hit the eyes directly, suggesting whole-body benefits like better energy in aging cells.

HeroSeries panels, HeroBelt and HeroHat use 850nm NIR light

Did you know near-infrared (NIR) light is beyond our vision range? That’s why you won’t see our 810nm, 830nm, and 850nm LEDs — even though they’re working just as powerfully as the visible 630nm and 660nm ones
