Red light therapy works by enhancing the activity of cytochrome c oxidase, a crucial enzyme in the electron transport chain of mitochondria. This stimulation boosts ATP synthesis, (the primary energy currency of cells)
By reducing oxidative stress, these therapies help protect and reverse mitochondrial damage, ensuring their optimal function and contributing to improved cellular energy production and overall cell health.
The benefits go beyond the performance of the cells and affect all the bodily systems as they are interrelated and interdependent. As every system performs better, it influences your entire body.
