Description: #redlighttherapy #increasevitamind #redlighttherapybenefits
The main cause of low vitamin D levels in the body is due to the fact that we now spend more than 90% of our day indoors and out of direct sunlight. UV rays from the sun is the best natural source of vitamin D. Even foods which are considered high in vitamin D, can only give us a fraction of this vitamin compared to what the sun can provide.
However, too much UV sunlight can cause our skin to burn and become damaged. This is where red light therapy (photobiomodulation) can help. Red and near infrared (NIR) light has been shown to protect our skin cells from UV light. Red and NIR light therapy also stimulates collagen production in the skin, thereby thickening the epidermis layer. Thicker skin allows for more vitamin D to be produced, with less sunlight needed. So, in this way, red light therapy can protect our skin from sun damage, while also enhancing its ability to make vitamin D from UVB sun rays.

Great information you provided however, those devices are absolutely ridiculous in price.
I am a laser therapist who works with red and IR light for pain management. I didnt realize that red/IR light could increase the thickness of the epidermis!! Most of my patients are elderly individuals, who, as you said, suffer from thinning skin. Great video!! a million thumbs up
I fixed my vitamin D deficiency by getting a job at a garden center!
Be careful with eye care?
This guy deserves much more views and subs.
You're amazing! I switched all my shoes because of your videos and now getting into red light therapy. Thank you!!! 🏆🙌
Fantastic presentation. Great information, thank you.
Thank you 🙏 this is a very well designed and organized video
This was awesome...more of this, please!
best explanation I have found so far o the subject
Great Vid, man!
Very informative video. Thank you very much.
Ok this is an amazing video. Very well done 👏
Definitely some great information! Thank you for creating the video and organizing the information so directly and also, succinctly.
Myself, I find that getting the proper amount of sun at the right times is just nearly impossible, but I suppose I'd better figure out how to change that, posthaste... else, it will come POSTHUMOUSLY. 😕
New to your channel. Just started red light therapy in my home about 3 weeks ago and it works.
Which light did you try- YOU R ENOUGH?
Hooga brand off of Amazon I paid almost 800 it's amazing it has , if you look on Amazon fhere are all types in all price ranges .
@@yourenough3be carful of EMF amounts
Thank you for this very informative video.
It’s a big pleasure 🙏 So happy you found it interesting and informative 😊
Also glass blocks uvb light so taking sunlight indoors turns out to be useless
Very good point 👍
Thank you for that point
UVA gets through though lol.
Plastic windows are available. They pass UV quite readily.
@@richardf911 do you have a source? I can't find anywhere that says it does
Hello, I want to use red light to help with insomnia. Should I use it immediately before bed? Thanks 😊
Simple and good presentation
Thank you! so glad you liked our video :)
Great information❣️
Glad you found value in it :)
Very interesting and informative. Thanks !!
Excellent content and explanation 👍
Thank you 🙏 really happy to hear that you like our videos 😁😁
Where can I buy a light therapy device for home use?
Can we use LED flood light on face which is used to light the buildings outdoors ? Are they same?
Thanks so much for this. Since red light devices mimic the morning and evening sun, I am know wondering if it's important to only use them in the morning or evening, so as to not confuse our body/circadian rhythm.
Fascinating.
So happy to hear you enjoyed our video :)
Im thinking of using a infrared led face mask, for treating S.A.D. depression, but am concerned whether these types of light ,at close up, would be damagjng for eyes?
Tanning spas often have Red Light Therapy beds now as well. I am interested in it. Several years ago I bought myself red light bulbs wasn't too sure I was getting the benefits..
Will a uv light work?
Loved your video. Subscribed. Do you think reptile bulbs or sun lamps are well enough for getting vitamin D ? Noon time in India its very hot so can't get sun exposure that time
Thank you for your support 🙏 Yea, reptile bulbs emit usable UV light. However, the dose you'll get from them is dependant on the power of the bulb itself.
The reality is that there is no better source of UV light for vitamin D production than the sun. It's free, and effective. Just 20-40 minutes a day with a large area of skin exposed would be sufficient to get vitamin d levels nice and high during those summer months.
@@barefootstrength Agreed. Except that getting that sun exposure is impossible during fall/winter in many parts of the world (Canada for example). Thus many of us are desperately searching for a safe, cheap alternative. Reptile sun lamps seem interesting, but I'm not convinced on their safety.
I wish there was an alternative "sun equivalent" way to produce Vitamin D year round in higher latitudes. I personally experience more energy, better sleep, digestion and a noticeable increase in sex drive (and satisfaction) when I lie in the sun regularly... which is only possible during spring & summer.
Sperti vitamin d lamp. I’ve used it for about 6 months. Love it! Best thing I’ve purchased! I believe it’s on Amazon. I live in the Midwest and depend on it.
I was also going to recommend the Sperti Vitamin D lamp... but Kim beat me to it. 🙂😝
90% of the health benefits from laying out in the sun are not from the increases of Vitamin D itself. That’s something that’s being proven over and over in just the last few years. It’s from the sunlights reparative properties in the RED and IR wavelengths on the whole body itself. Measuring Vitamin D is more of a total sunlight exposer indicator so if someone has more vitamin D they are almost guaranteed to be in the sun more. Just like the blood glucose A1C or HbA1c test shows your average blood sugar levels over the past 3 months vitamin D is an indicator of sun exposure and resulting increases in health.
Watch some CZcams video’s on Photobiomodulation and watch Medcrams “ Sunlight: Optimize Health and Immunity (Light Therapy and Melatonin)” it will blow your mind and it will show you have to get the beneficial RED and IR rays while avoiding the UVA,B and C rays.
There are numerous studies showing that feeding COVID-19 patents given copious amounts of vitamin D like 10,000 to 50,000 IU’s a day only helped survival rates of COVID-19 patents slightly. Nothing like the people that had normal to high normal ranges of Vitamin D from sunlight. When the vitamin D deficient COVID patents were exposed to sunlight or Photobiomodulation in the RED and IR ranges it dramatically increased survival rates and quickened recovery before vitamin D levels even climbed out of the sub-optimal range. What I’m getting at is if you can’t get free sunlight buy a RED / IR Panel that’s capable of full body exposure. If it’s a tiny panel it would take hours a day to hit all the parts of your body so it would be sub optimal for anything but spot treatments.
Also even with increased skin cancer risks the people that have the most sun exposure live the longest and the least sun exposure die the youngest. The people with increased sun exposure had much lower overall cancer rates, lower diabetes, lower body fat, lower heart issues, stronger bones, etc...
@@Kim-hb8ri it did increase ur vitamin d level?
@@Kim-hb8ri does this lamp emit uvb?
What happens if you use redlight while getting sunlight to the same part of the skin?
What about oral vit D spray, to overcome the absorption issues, some have ?
I give my son cod liver oil capsules, but we've recently started red light therapy.
Any idea at what angles the sun produces infrared light? 8 am good enough, believe it is 1 uv index. Also any idea what duration of infrared light exposure is enough to prep for the uvb light at noon?
As he suggested in the video we're all different. We adapt to our own situations and exposures.
Excellent breakdown! Btw... you from South Africa?
Thank you 🙏 glad you liked it 😁 Yea spot on 👌 Born and raised in SA 🇿🇦
@@barefootstrength Was born in SA as well and picked it up right away! Keep up the great work! 🙌🏼
It doesn't sound like the device doesnt actually create vitamin D synthesis within the body. Only conditions the body to be more able to synthesize vit D when exposed to midday sun (and not through any other means)
How long before UV exposure do you need the red light for it to be protective? Could you move straight from your Joovv to the UV light for example?
Try to mimic nature, start low and gradually raise the duration and intensity.
You got red light for 5-15minutes in the morning, probably the same uv for lunch, and finish with red at night.
You didn't mention that mushrooms exposed to sunlight have a significant amount of vitamin d
Have you seen the truck driver studies. Eve light through a window can damage your skin.
@8:25 the video mentions "increasing frequencies of Infrared light". I'm pretty sure the numbers there relate to the wavelengths, not the frequencies otherwise the numbers would be falling as you travel right-to-left on this spectrum, not rising. You may think this is a silly quibble and I have no doubt there _may_ be some truth in this therapy but this kind of error really makes me suspicious of the speaker's expertise.
Reptile uvb lamp .
Interesting stuff. Also, Red Light Therapy just sounds like a euphemism for something else 😅😝
Lol 😄🥂
Thickening of the skin by red lights would need more evidence but it does seem interesting, being shirtless when the sun is low here in Scotland is too cold in winter so personally if I was going to try to increase my vitamin D I would buy a sun lamp and not a red light to prep my skin for sun exposure since winter midday sun in Scotland gives zero vitamin D anyway.
You don't seem to understand what is being highlighted in the video, which is actually entirely factual. Skin burns and melanoma occur primarily in people whose biological cycle is disrupted. (By the way, by default this affects the mitochondria settings in your body as well, which is an even bigger problem). Why? Because by avoiding the red light -- which is part of the sun's natural spectrum -- you are breaking the proper cycle, which means that the sun's natural protection for your skin (the red light) is excluded. This is where burns and melanoma come into play. Modern lifestyle excludes the red light, so when you go straight to the UVB rays that activate Vitamin D production, you are basically bypassing the sun's safeguard and setting yourself for trouble. How do we know that what I just wrote is true? Well, equatorial tribes spend virtually their entire time under the sun, making thousands of units of Vitamin D3 per day, but -- PAY ATTENTION HERE -- they consume the sun's entire cycle of light, from early morning red light to the mid-day UVB that gives you the D3 to the afternoon/early night red light that controls your melatonin levels.
So, back to your comment. It is wrong. If you are going to biohack and do D3 at home, you need to prep your skin with red light -- 10-30 minutes in the morning should be enough, in most cases -- and then expose your skin to UVB light to trigger D3 production. Scotland is one of the worst places for D3 production, because of geographical limitations. You literally have about two months during the summer when you can POSSIBLY make proper D3, which is one of the main reasons why the country has one of the unhealthiest populations in the developed world. There is just not enough sun in Scotland.
If you want to stay healthy and optimize D3 production in your region, you should try to replicate the sun's natural cycle. (It is impossible to do perfectly because nothing can replace the sun, but you can come close). Start with red light prepping. Buy a panel that emits red and near infrared light as their penetration levels are different, plus both offer a variety of different benefits. Then use a proper sun lamp -- like Sperti's Fiji lamp -- to get your UVB. And lastly, consume a fair amount of organic seafood to enhance D3 absorption.
Light is the most important aspect of your health, which is not what you will hear from Big Pharma. 99.99% of all diseases can be cured with light from the sun's spectrum delivered at a specific frequency. Light is Mother Nature's antibiotic. (Ozone is the other). It is why UVB at the right frequency destroys absolutely all pathogens/viruses/bacteria, including of course the Chinese Virus. In the future, doctors will, or should, prescribe "light pills".
One bonus point for you: People that have back problems are actually sunlight deficient. Unless there is a serious structural problem, like a broken disc, back pain indicates sunlight deficiency. For example, there is a direct relationship between sunlight and B12 absorption, which regulates nerve pain. So, if you don't get enough sunlight, you trigger nerve deterioration and all kinds of pain, including back pain. Without enough B12, your system cannot regenerate. In simple English: you slowly begin to die. This becomes an even bigger issue when you go over 50 because your system begins to naturally suppress intrinsic factor, a key protein, which you need in order to extract and absorb B12 from animal products in your diet. So, without B12 and proper regeneration, you get serious deceases like Alzheimer's and multiple sclerosis.
@@garter13 does a 275 ir red light help ?
No. You need red light that comes from the sun's natural cycle, as I wrote above. So, you should be aiming for 660-850, in this area you cover red and near infrared. Go on Amazon, type red light panels, research. For under $100.00 you can buy a fairly decent small panel to get you started. Then, six months or later, you can move to larger, or even full-body panel, if you can afford it. If you are serious, you can do it the right way.
@@garter13 I am interested because I have had my gallbladder removed and cannot break down the fat soluble vitamin D supplements, I did some research not so much on Google as they filter what they publish, my research suggest a sun lamp or sunbed used less than tanning time will give you plenty vitamin D for the winter months so this Christmas I treated myself to a sunlamp. Good luck.
@@garter13 have you done it for yourself? And what were the effects if any?
I have been taken 5000 units Vitamin D per day for over a year now and never have been sick since then. Before I had severel colds per year.
Be careful. The unlearned will call you a conspiracy theorist while unwittingly parroting for big pharma
@@JohnJohnson-wy6fk haha. Thats true :- )
@@JohnJohnson-wy6fk shut up
@@justdonis1891 Dont get mad because the shoe fits. You know you are one of those morons who dismiss everything as coincidence and conspiracy theory .
i always take 5000 iu Vit D 3 daily year round. We have harsh NO SUNSHINE winters.. But in spring summer fall I work outside in my veg gardens in sunshine👍🏻In winter I catch no colds, the rest of family that will not take ANY daily vit d supplements are constantly getting colds and the like all winter long..😞THEY have drastically reduced our SUNNY DAYS with THEIR chemtrail poison sprayings to block the sun out😡>so Vit D supplements are a necessity year round🎯
Read soewhere that omegas 3 also condition the skin and prevent it from burning. Any idea?
nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-skin-cancer-from-the-inside-out/
I know this much!
Vitamin C does a good job of protecting from sun burn. I no longer need sunscreen. Just lots of vitamin C before and after going out in the sun.
@@richardf911 Do you mean topical application of Vitamin C?
@@shikha1394
Oral but topical can help. Look it up. In warm months or areas still use protection.
Hmm, while the vit d info is lovely, the video title is about vit d and red light. He doesn’t even touch on the red light topic until almost 7 minutes into the video.. 😕
Iitterally no one carries d2. This is very old info if this is included
Canned Alaskan Sockeye Salmon contain 2800 IU of vitamin D.
What about Vitamin B requirements for very dark skinned people do they have higher recommended intake because this demographic typically has much lower vitamin F levels?
Darker skin needs more time in the sun, like 20 minutes to get a good daily supply. I typically take 5000 iu during the summer and 10,000 during the winter. I was Vit D deficient.
@@chillycharles910 did taking vitD supplement raise your levels?
@@raczyk Yes, my levels were 12 at the initial test. I took 10,000 iu daily and a year later my level was around 50.
@chillycharles910 I’m so called “black”, AA, and tested at 6.5 and was looking into a sun lamp pls supplements. Congrats on raising your levels. How are you doing now and are you following the same protocol and did you use a lamp at any time, thank you?
Does red light therapy actually encourage vitamin D3 even if you don't actually get out in the midday sun?
Geez they're ridiculously expensive! Far too expensive for me.
Incandescent light bulbs produce a lot of infired light in case someone doesn't wanna buy a clunky expensive led panel
Not bad production but very basic if youre looking for more than elementary info
Why do the supplements make me feel horrible
Sperti vitamin d lamp is $100.00 less!!
Was going to purchase tomorrow. Do is work for you?
@@valarmorghulis3773 I never did get the Sperti vitamin D lamp. I tried taking Dropi cod liver oil instead for vitamin D, and I was so glad that I did!
My vitamin D went up to 38.
1 teaspoon a day.
@Irene McGuire bought the lamp and it works but too slowly to raise levels quick enough. I take 50k vitamin d pills with mk 7. My hair is falling out dramatically because of my deficiency so i working hard to get it back up
Specifically, what kind of oil is it? How long did it take you to get back to 38?
@@valarmorghulis3773 I started using the cod liver oil in August 2021, I had blood work done 2 months later in October, and when I went to my doctor's appointment in December, he told me that my vitamin D was good at 38.
I was so glad because I don't get out in the sun at all, and my Vitamin D was very low before I started taking the cod liver oil. My hair was thinning a lot, and I was desperate! Well, the good news is that my hair completely stopped thinning!! I would caution you about taking too much Vitamin D, because I read that it can be harmful. Why don't you try the cod liver oil.
It's called Dropi cod liver oil
I’m a vegan and have more than enough of Vit D3
Do you know what could be the reason behind that? Do you consume supplements?
@@shikha1394
You can get plenty thru the sun and plants like mushrooms exposed to sunlight have them.
Just go outside!!!
SUN will not hurt, ask everyone in Africa, India and Saudi Arabia which has basically zero skin cancer
The camera cuts and sound effects became so distracting I gave up watching.
