Everything You Need To Know About Celliant® Technology

Written by in Our Products

Quick Overview

Celliant@ is the brand name for a bi-component fiber created using polyethylene terephthalate. The material contains optically active particles which are incorporated into its core of product fibers. Hologenix LLC, the company that promotes Celliant@ has organized multiple studies regarding the effectiveness of Hologenix. The focus of these studies was to determine if Celliant@ can increase the oxygenation in a person’s body tissue and reduce various aches and pains. In a blind test, participants wearing products with Celliant@ showed a significant increase in transcutaneous oxygen.[1]

How Does Celliant® Work

Celliant is a blend of natural, thermo-reactive minerals that gives any textile-based product the ability to capture and convert body heat into full-spectrum infrared energy. Through a specialized, multi-step process, Celliant is embedded into the core of the polyester fibers. The full-spectrum infrared energy is reflected back to the body, even through multiple layers of fabric, making it possible for the tissue and muscle to absorb it. This promotes local circulation and cellular oxygenation, making more tissue oxygen available to your cells—an average increase of 7%, and up to 8.4% in a clinical trial*, which results in more energy, endurance, strength, stamina, comfort, quicker recovery, and better sleep.

How Celliant Makes You Sleep Better

How does Celliant technology make you sleep better? Celliant infrared wavelengths boost various biological processes. The minerals convert your body’s heat to infrared energy before sending it back to you which can help you get a restful sleep at night.[3]

Celliant increases local circulation and cellular oxygenation. The technology, when employed not only in your clothing but also as part of your bedding, can help you gain more of its benefits. It is believed that through increased oxygenation, you will be able to sleep better at night, improve recovery from physical exertions, as well as provide support to your thermoregulation. Thermoregulation is the process where your body is capable of maintaining its body temperature. Proper thermoregulation is essential for proper biological functions, proper sleep quality, and ongoing wellness.

Celliant Fiber in Mattress Covers

Celliant is typically applied on the part of the fabric that comes in direct contact with the skin. To be clear, mattress covers are not 100% Celliant. Instead, this technology is incorporated into the fabric itself such as polyester. Usually, this fiber makes up 1/5th of the fabric blend which is enough to help sleepers gain the full benefits of this product. Here’s how Celliant infrared technology help sleepers:

  • Celliant can help improve restfulness when you sleep by reducing the time you need to fall asleep and providing more restorative sleep.
  • The material used in the mattress cover can help support regular circadian rhythm through thermoregulation, increase blood flow, as well as improve cellular oxygenation.

How Celliant Helps Athletes

Hologenix, LLC, states that Celliant infrared is designed to absorb and convert energy from your body into infrared rays which can penetrate the skin to improve cellular oxygenation and increase blood flow. It simply makes use of our body’s conduction as well as convection heat. This can improve muscle recovery and performance. The technology is accessible and improves your overall wellness. Trainers and athletes alike are taking advantage of this technology today.

Why Use Celliant Today?

You’re probably wondering what Celliant infrared technology can do for you. This technology helps in opening up the blood vessels to boost blood flow which is particularly useful for those who tend to sit down most of the time. There is no doubt that a sedentary lifestyle is harmful to our physical health. Wearing a fabric that contains this technology can help regulate your blood flow and temperature, so your body will have a stable core temperature.

Tissue oxygenation can increase when wearing this product, thus promoting faster recovery from various physical activities, enhancing your sleep at night, while boosting your performance, energy, stamina, endurance, and muscle recovery during the day. One adverse effect of using Celliant is that polyester must be used in the manufacturing process. Those allergic to polyester may not be able to use this product. Aside from this, Celliant is safe to use since it is merely mirroring back your body’s energy to where it belongs. Wearing this fabric, or sleeping on it, can help your body to function better.

Are the Claims True?

It is understandable that you will feel a bit skeptical about the effects of Celliant, but this technology has been extensively studied, developed, and clinically tested with regards to effectiveness and durability. The company, Hologenix, LLC, has has overseen 11 clinical, preclinical, technical and physical trials with institutions such as Texas A & M University and the University of California Irvine.[7]

As of 2017, the FDA has determined that Celliant products meet the criteria required to be deemed as certified medical devices and general wellness products.

Celliant’s Impact on the Market

Manufacturers are always on the lookout for the next best thing to offer their customers. Aside from looking for products that increase comfort, people are now seeking more features and solutions to help their lifestyle. With the numerous benefits that are linked to this technology, it appears that Celliant technology will grow in popularity.
