Studies have found that exposure to red light wavelengths in the 630-670nm range supports mitochondrial function, reduces inflammation, and promotes cellular energy production.
Separately, research into light and circadian biology confirms that avoiding blue light and exposing the body to red wavelengths in the evening supports natural melatonin production and improves sleep quality.
Here are the studies:
Journal of Athletic Training 2012 — Effect of Low-Level Laser Therapy on Serum Melatonin and Sleep Quality.
MDPI Life Journal 2025 — Comparative Effects of Red and Blue LED Light on Melatonin Levels During Three-Hour Exposure in Healthy Adults.
