HISTORY OF TECHNICAL FABRICS
• 
Gore-Tex® (1978) – First waterproof/breathable fabric. Works by allowing water
vapors to exit through tiny holes that are too small for water droplets to get back in.
• 
Compression (1983) – Decreases muscle vibrations to reduce fatigue.
• 
Coolmax® (1986) – Wicking capabilities and better breathability than natural fibers.
• 
Antimicrobial (2004) – Technique from early 20th century is now becoming popular
in consumer products. Uses Trevira Bioactive (silver ions attach to bacteria to
destroy them).
None of these performance fibers are a responsive textile.
Responsive textiles are textiles that interact with the environment.
CELLIANT™ - The World’s First Responsive Textile
Celliant™ is a specially formulated technology that can be
integrated into any type of textile. The result is a material that
reduces pain, improves circulation, and enhances oxygen levels
in the body.
 Polyester based yarn
 Embedded into the structure of fibers
 Versatile for a wide range of products
 Efficacy proven through five clinical studies
Hologenix, the maker of Celliant™ fiber is the only company to
have performed studies proving the efficacy of its product.
THE EFFECTS OF CELLIANT™

WHAT ABOUT THE BODY? - SCIENCE OF LIGHT
The body is the best renewable energy source!
 Thermographic cameras show infrared emissions.
  Certain minerals are photocatalysts which means that
they are “optically responsive” absorbing light at the
surface, redirecting it, and sending it back to the body.

These minerals can be infused into fibers.
CELLIANT™ MATERIALS
•  Although the formula for Celliant™ is a trade secret, the
following three minerals are used in our technology:
Titanium Dioxide – Absorbs available energy.
Silicon Dioxide (Silica) – Acts as a reflector of
energy and as an anti-microbial.
Aluminum Oxide (Alumina) – Enhances
strength of reflectivity.
CELLIANT™ PROPERTIES
● Specially formulated, worldwide patent-protected, mineral compound.
● Micron-sized particles infused into fiber during extrusion.
● A permanent part of the fiber, lasting the life cycle of the material.

SCIENCE OF LIGHT - EARLY HISTORY
Light therapy or photobiology has been used for centuries
• 
Light therapy dates back to early civilization when the Ancient Greeks first
recognized that exposure to sun light could have health benefits.
Solar energy is any radiant light or heat energy emitted by the sun
"
•  Energy from the sun is proven to be beneficial.
•  It is the bodies main source of Vitamin D which plays an essential role in many
major organ systems.
•  Increases the flow of calcium into the bloodstream.
SCIENCE OF LIGHT - 20TH CENTURY USE
Nobel Prize
  Niels Finsen won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1903 for his studies on
using light therapy to treat tuberculosis and small pox.
Other forms of light are also proven to benefit the body.
# Infants with neonatal jaundice have been prescribed treatments of blue
light since the 1930s.
# In the 1960’s red light was proven to increase production of
new collagen which makes healthier looking skin. Red light pens are now
commonly sold as an anti-wrinkle therapy.
Both of these processes are FDA approved.
# In 1999 NASA proved that light can be used to stimulate cell growth and
speed wound healing.
SCIENCE OF LIGHT - THE FUTURE
Energy fabrics are responsive textiles that have been
infused with any optically responsive minerals.
 Companies such as Phiten and the Greg Norman Collection have recognized
the market for these fabrics.
 However, none have done the clinical studies to prove their products are
effective.

HOW DOES CELLIANT™ WORK?
● Both sunlight and light emitted by the body are absorbed by the Celliant™ fibers.
● The Celliant™ fibers act as a catalyst and reflect this energy back to the body.
● The body then absorbs this previously unavailable, recycled, energy.
● This new energy source triggers the biological functions of the body to increase
blood flow and oxygen levels.
● Celliant™ is also proven to relieve pain and balance body temperature.

WHAT RESEARCHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT
CELLIANT™
“It’s important to note that properly controlled clinical trials have shown a positive effect from wearing clothing enhanced with
Celliant™. Frankly, as a skeptic, I was surprised at the results and am excited to conduct additional trials.”
● Dr. Ian Gordon, MD, PhD
Director of the University of California Wound Clinic, Associate Clinical Professor of Surgery at the University of California,
Irvine and Chief of the Vascular Surgery Section at the VA Long Beach Healthcare System
“This study shows a significant increase in blood flow in the skin. This improvement might be enough to take patients from being
symptomatic to asymptomatic, which for patients that are taking 10 or 15 drugs, to be able to wear a garment with no negative side
effects is a tremendous advantage.”
● Dr. Lawrence A. Lavery, DPM, MPH
Associate Professor, Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Rehabilitation, Loyola
University Medical Center & Hines Veterans Administration Hospital, Chicago, Illinois
“There are a number of benefits that will come out of wearing this product. In the athlete, it will increase oxygen metabolism rates,
therefore enhancing performance. It will also aid recovery of people that don’t exercise very often. Most often you exercise and become stiff.
This will help to eliminate the stiffness. In the diabetic population, it will increase oxygen at the surface or oxygen to wounds and
eventually the wounds will heel on a quicker basis.”
● Dr. Graham McClue, PhD
Research Director, Hyperbaric Treatment & Training Center, Houston, Texas
“The first two participants reported a subjective improvement of their sleep with the use of the active
garment mattress cover… In addition, objective sleep recordings in both subjects showed improved
sleep efficiency (more sleep while in bed), a decreased wake after sleep onset time (less total night time
awake after initial sleep onset), and an overall reduced number of nocturnal awakenings”
● Dr. Marcel Hungs, MD, PhD
Assistant Clinical Professor, Department of Neurology, University of California, Irvine
Director, Center for Sleep Medicine
WHAT CONSUMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT
CELLIANT™
"I was having a lot of sleeping problems due to breaking my back in a motocross accident about 5 years ago. A friend suggested I try a
mattress pad with Celliant™. Ever since, I almost sleep too well. I am a firm believer in this product and recommend it to everyone!"
● Donny Emler Jr. aka “LIL D”, FMF Racing
“I have been a type II diabetic for 15 years and recently neuropathy has been affecting my legs and feet. I tried a number of different
support hose and have not been satisfied with their performance. In many cases they restricted the blood flow and ended up increasing
the pain. Your socks have been fantastic. I seem to get the support that I need without the restrictions. They not only help with the
numbness but provide the support that I need to assist me in walking."
● Frank S. Chase, Nashua, New Hampshire
“ During the 2005 Toronto Marathon, I wore Celliant™ running socks and had zero problems with my feet... As it happened, I ended
up seeing my doctor a few days later for my annual physical. He was amazed that my feet didn't show any signs of blistering, swelling,
bruising etc.”
● Andrew Wells, Real Estate Broker and Marathon Runner, Toronto, Canada
“In "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines," I play the most powerful machine yet, opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger. Powerful machines
may be impervious to pain, but people aren't, so I wore Celliant™ socks throughout a difficult and grueling shooting schedule, and it
helped me recover quickly from exertion.”
