The impact of disease-causing free radicals on human body may be reduced by wearing special high-tech clothes just a few hours a day, according to a new study published in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry and Toxicology<\/em> in\u00a0May 2016<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Nanobionic\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Results from this first time study showed beneficial effects of these clothes – textiles in reducing free radical levels in healthy individuals and patients suffering from free-radical-related disorders and they may also act as anti-oxidants.<\/p>\n

The patented technology is developed by Nanobionic, an international manufacturer of smart clothes and textiles, founded in 2011 by George and Ermis Psipsikas<\/span>, based in New York<\/span> and Athens, Greece<\/span>. Nanobionic manufactures clothes using innovative textiles that transform the body’s natural energy to enhance athletic performance and overall wellbeing.<\/p>\n

The trial – which was conducted in four medical centers in Greece<\/span>, Sweden<\/span> and Italy<\/span> – recruited volunteers to test the effects of daily use of Nanobionic’s clothes and their connection with the human body’s aging process.<\/p>\n

The results showed that wearing Nanobionic clothing for two hours a day during six days, cut free radical levels in two-thirds of healthy volunteers. The researchers also examined the effects of Nanobionic clothing on Raynaud’s syndrome with remarkable results.<\/p>\n

<\/b>Using specialized patented coating, Nanobionic products take the body’s thermal energy and turn it into far infrared rays which stimulate metabolism and micro-circulation and as a result improve athletic performance. But the latest study shows that their benefits can go further and improve people’s health, too.<\/p>\n

“Nanobionic will revolutionize the way people will be wearing clothes in the future. We have developed a breakthrough technology that improves people’s lives in many different ways,” said George and Ermis Psipsikas<\/span>. The company is the recipient of 12 international innovation awards and sells its products through retailers inEurope<\/span> and online to more than 40 countries.<\/p>\n

<\/b>Trillions of free radicals are produced daily within the\u00a0human body, which are dealt with\u00a0by our antioxidant system. However this ability gets weaker with time.<\/p>\n

When production of free radicals exceeds the body’s protective ability “oxidation stress” takes place, leading to irreversible damage of cellular structure.<\/p>\n

As a result, free radicals are responsible for many of today’s health ailments: obesity, rheumatism, premature ageing, skin disease, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis and cataract.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
