Clinical Study Data Indicates that Celliant Reduces Pain

Revolutionary Fiber and fabrics Incorporated into Apparel, hosiery, footwear linings and Sleeping Products Provides Non-Invasive Pain Relief

Beverly, MA (July 20, 2009) – Achieve o2 LLC fabrics and hosiery products contain Celliaint™ and Dri-release technologies. Already proven to increase oxygen levels in the body, data from a new clinical study published in online journal BioMed Central (www.BioMedCentral.com) supports claims that Celliant™ reduces pain.

Celliant™ is a specially formulated fiber designed to enhance oxygen levels in the body, aiding in comfort, healing, performance and overall wellness. Data analysis from a clinical study conducted by Robyn MB York and Ian L. Gordon, research scientists affiliated with Long Beach VA Healthcare System and UCI Medical Center, shows that the material also has potent pain relief capabilities. In a double blind study using measurement techniques successfully employed in FDA-supervised clinical trials of pain relief medications, the magnitude of pain relief reported by participants using products enhanced with Celliant™ was significantly greater than that reported by participants using placebo products. Hologenix, LLC, the company behind Celliant™, sponsored the trials.

These results have obvious implications for the health and medical markets. However, Hologenix believes a broader market for their pain relieving textile exists.

"Personally, I was very surprised by the results. In doing these studies, you often hope for a positive result but, in this case, the data points overwhelmingly to Celliant™ reducing pain," stated Dr. Ian L. Gordon, PhD and head of Vascular Surgery at Long Beach VA Medical Center. "What we have here is a material that can be incorporated into any number of products—garments, bedding, socks, bandages, athletic wear—to non-invasively reduce pain. It's a very exciting moment for us as research scientists and for the medical and health community at large."

The technology behind Celliant™ is based on years of research regarding the effect of certain wavelengths of light on the body and wound healing. Past studies have shown that light can be used to reduce pain, speed healing, increase energy and improve overall wellness. Celliant™ is a polymer fiber containing optically active micro-particles – a proprietary mixture of natural materials – which scatter and reflect visible and near infrared light. Products constructed with such optically modified fibers are designed to scatter and reflect light and energy onto the underlying tissue and skin. Numerous anecdotal reports from patients with a variety of chronic pain syndromes indicate that wearing garments or sleeping on bedding containing Celliant™ led to dramatic improvement or complete resolution of pain. The goal of this study was to scientifically confirm and measure these results. The full study can be found here: http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6882/9/10

Hologenix, LLC, is currently conducting three additional clinical studies to further measure the effects of Celliant™ on sleep, athletic performance and health. For more information regarding Celliant™ and Achieve o2 products, please contact:
