Longevity and Vielight Technology | Published Clinical Trials
Key takeaways:
-
Recharge Your Mitochondria: Aging brains suffer from an energy crisis. Vielight technology targets mitochondria, the cell’s powerhouses, to restore the ATP energy production vital for cognitive longevity.
-
The 810nm Advantage: Science shows that 810nm near-infrared light is the “sweet spot” for mitochondrial absorption versus other wavelengths.
-
Whole-Brain Synergy: Research from Baycrest and the University of Toronto confirms that Vielight’s patented transcranial-intranasal PBM approach activates global brain networks.
-
Backed by Clinical Data: From reversing signs of cognitive decline to improving recovery in TBI, our technology is validated by published trials in major medical journals.
When we talk about “brain longevity,” this refers to keeping our minds sharp, resilient, and energetic as we age. At the heart of this challenge lies a tiny cellular component: mitochondria.
Often called the “powerhouse of the cell,” mitochondria are responsible for producing ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy currency your brain needs to function. However, as we age, mitochondrial efficiency declines. This energy crisis is a key driver of cognitive decline, brain fog, and neurodegeneration.
But what if you could recharge these powerhouses using precision-based NIR light energy?
Proven by Science: Vielight Studies You Should Know
Brain Health: Proven Mitochondrial Effects with Vielight Technology
Our technology isn’t just longevity theory; it is backed by rigorous clinical research. Here are a few key studies highlighting the impact on longevity and cognition:
-
Reversing Mitochondrial Dysfunction in MCI (2024): A University of Toronto clinical trial investigated the effects of Vielight’s itPBM on individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). After just 6 weeks, participants showed improvements in cognitive performance and, crucially, mitochondrial function, along with favorable changes in blood biomarkers linked to Alzheimer’s.
-
Significant Cognitive Gains in TBI (2024/2025): Multiple studies from the University of Utah have shown that the Vielight Neuro Gamma can significantly improve executive function, reaction time, and balance in individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), further validating the technology’s ability to repair and restore neural networks.
-
Dementia Pilot Success (2015): In a landmark clinical trial, dementia patients using Vielight technology showed significant improvements in cognitive function and reduced wandering behaviors, with fMRI scans revealing increased functional connectivity in the brain’s Default Mode Network.
- Combatting “Brain Fog” & Neuroinflammation (Long COVID): A randomized, double-blind clinical trial (n=43) targeted the debilitating “brain fog” associated with post-COVID conditions using the Vielight Neuro Gamma. Participants—particularly those under 45—showed significant improvements in cognitive scores and attention tasks after just 8 weeks of home use. This study highlights the technology’s ability to reduce neuroinflammation and restore cognitive clarity after a major biological insult—a key capability for maintaining long-term brain health in a world of increasing viral stressors.
- Neuroprotection in Parkinson’s Disease. An n=14 proof-of-concept study involving patients with idiopathic Parkinson’s Disease tested the effects of the Vielight Neuro over 12 weeks. Participants experienced significant improvements in mobility, fine motor skills, and cognition. Remarkably, these improvements were sustained for up to one year with continued home use. This provides compelling evidence of neuroprotection—suggesting that PBM may help slow the progression of neurodegenerative processes and preserve motor and cognitive function as we age.
- “Tuning” the Brain: The Gamma Effect: Published in Nature Scientific Reports (2019), this pivotal study showed that a single 20-minute session with the Vielight Neuro Gamma significantly increased high-frequency brain oscillations (Alpha, Beta, Gamma) while reducing slow-wave activity (Delta, Theta). The device effectively “woke up” the brain, mimicking the high-energy states seen in long-term meditators and high-performers. This proves that Vielight technology doesn’t just heal; it optimizes. By enhancing Gamma synchrony, you are training your brain to maintain the high-functioning electrical signature of a younger, sharper mind.
Systemic Health: The “Whole Body” Effect (Verified by a Major Clinical Trial)
While brain longevity is the goal, your brain does not exist in a vacuum. It relies on a healthy body, robust circulation, and a strong immune system to function. This is where Vielight’s technology offers a distinct advantage through Systemic Photobiomodulation.
Vielight devices like the RX Plus don’t just target the brain; they utilize the dense capillary network in the nose to irradiate the blood circulating through the entire body.
The Evidence: The World’s Largest Successful PBM Trial The power of this systemic approach was proven in a major, peer-reviewed clinical trial involving 294 participants – the largest of its kind in the field of photobiomodulation.
-
The Challenge: The study focused on accelerating recovery from acute respiratory viral infections (specifically COVID-19) in patients with moderate-to-severe symptoms.
-
The Result: Participants who used the Vielight device within the first 7 days of symptoms recovered significantly faster than those who received standard care alone. The therapy effectively reduced respiratory symptoms, headaches, and body aches.
-
The Mechanism: Researchers attributed these results to the anti-inflammatory effects of PBM, which is known to lower cytokine levels (the molecules responsible for inflammation).
Why This Matters for Longevity: This trial led to the Vielight RX Plus receiving a Medical Device License from Health Canada for accelerating recovery from respiratory viral infections. For the longevity-focused individual, this validates that intranasal light therapy triggers a potent, body-wide biological response. By reducing systemic inflammation and supporting immune function, you are creating a healthier physiological environment for your brain to thrive.
The Vielight Neuro
The Vielight Neuro: Cognitive Longevity
As we age, the mitochondria in our neurons naturally degrade, leading to a “cellular energy crisis” that manifests as cognitive fog, slower processing, and memory lapses.
The Vielight Neuro (Neuro Pro 2, Alpha, or Gamma) is engineered to reverse this energy deficit using the science of photobiomodulation (PBM).
-
Targeting the Default Mode Network (DMN): The Neuro’s full transcranial modules are strategically positioned to focus on the DMN – a large-scale brain network crucial for memory and self-referential thought, which is often the first to show signs of decline in aging.
-
Deep Penetration: Utilizing high-irradiance 810nm LEDs (approx. 100 mW/cm²), the Neuro delivers photons through the skull to reach the cortical surface, while the patented intranasal applicator targets the ventral (underside) brain areas.
-
The Longevity Benefit: By regularly stimulating mitochondrial ATP production and increasing cerebral blood flow, the Neuro aims to build “cognitive reserve” – keeping neural networks robust, adaptable, and energized well into your later years.
