The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
so the increase in melatonin from infrared uh radiation going into the mitochondria is one aspect there's a whole host of other aspects that occur there is cytochrome 4 oxidase again one of those enzymes in the electron transport chain can absorb infrared light there's nitric oxide what what the whole effect of this is and the bottom line is is that when you have red light to near infrared light getting in that deep there is a increase in the efficiency of the mitochondria
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

I did not know until I talked to him that the mitochondria in our whole body, not just in our eyes or our brain, use infrared light to make melatonin and use that as sort of a systemic store of an antioxidant in our body. And so you can think one of the probably the most damaging things that we could do for ourselves is sit indoors in an office behind glass all day. You're getting no infrared light.
You will make melatonin in every single mitochondria of your body when you are exposed to infrared light. But that requires going outside. >> When your receptors are sensitive, you're going to feel terrible the next day doing that. >> But it's it's an extremely good antioxidant for your liver. >> It's true. Melatonin is an antioxidant, but every mitochondria in your body can make melatonin if you just go in infrared light. >> So, what you want to do is you want to downregulate your receptors so that you're not going to, you know, feel like [ __ ] the next day.
