The Value of Holofiber for the Larger, Healthy Population
In a clinical study, Holofiber was found to be of great value in increasing tissue oxygen levels in diabetics, of great importance to the over 17 million Americans now afflicted with diabetes.
But what is the value of Holofiber for the larger, “non-challenged” population? A study was done among healthy subjects, male and female, ages 18 to 50 (the mean age was 32.12 years).
Thirteen subjects with no history of diabetes or other vascular disease were chosen, in a random sampling. They were evaluated using transcutaneous oxygen monitoring (a non-invasive technique).
Subjects were requested not to drink any caffeinated substance (coffee, soft drinks) for two hours before the test, since caffeine causes vasoconstriction, reducing blood flow to the extremities.
Wearing Holofiber textiles and placebo textiles, oxygen levels on the forearm and foot of the healthy population were observed to increase in the test – 29.97% in the forearm, and 10.18% in the foot.
Non-diabetics obviously don’t have the same issues as diabetics regarding wound healing, but a greater perfusion of oxygenation for the general population means greater energy, and faster recovery from exertion.
Michellie Jones, the Olympic Medalist, world-class triathlete, has noted that wearing Holofiber “helps with recovery and circulation,” and not only when exercising or afterwards. Michellie has taken to wearing Holofiber during her regular 16-hour trans-Pacific airline flights, noting that the improved circulation she experiences means less muscle fatigue in the day after travel.
