90+ Clinical Studies

Eight independent studies show that our flagship X39 patches work to increase copper-peptide production in blood, which can improve tissue repair, stimulate blood vessel and nerve growth, and improve skin. For example:

STUDY A
A double-blind randomized control study published in the International Journal of Research Studies in Medical and Health Sciences revealed a significant increase in the production of 8 amino acids, which improved short-term memory, sleep, and vitality.

STUDY B
A double-blind test published in the journal Internal Medicine Research showed a significant increase in copper-peptide concentrations in the blood of subjects who had worn patches X39 patches for 1 week.

Seven studies done between 2010 and 2015 confirm that the Aeon patches produce a relaxation effect within as little as 20 minutes after patch placement. The patches do this by positively affecting the autonomic nervous system and increasing dopamine production.

Study A
A study done by independent statistical consulting company JC Eickhoff detected significant changes in glutamate amino acid and LDOPA levels. Glutamate and LDOPA are both neurotransmitters that help to keep your brain functioning properly. Glutamate especially plays a major role in shaping learning and memory. Glutamate needs to be present at the right concentrations in the right places at the right time.

Study B
A study done at the University of Texas at El Paso showed that the Aeon (previously X-15) patches improved cellular physiologic functional status of the liver, hypothalamus, adrenal glands, and thyroid gland.

Carnosine is recognized as a dipeptide present in our brains, hearts, stomachs, kidneys, and eyes, and is recognized as an antioxidant that scavenges free radicals, protects the brain, and affects the immune system. Several independent studies show that LifeWave’s Y-Age Carnosine effectively increases parasympathetic nervous system activity, which can improve cognition, flexibility, balance, strength, and endurance.

Study A
A study done by scientists at the University of Texas at El Paso showed very significant or highly significant improvement in the physiologic functional status of the pancreas, liver, kidneys, intestine, adrenal glands, hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and thyroid.

Study B
In a pilot human study, the carnosine patch significantly decreased the lactate threshold of individuals who regularly trained for endurance events. The lactate threshold (LT) determines how long one can exercise effectively without passing into fatigue. Fatigue onset is rapid above the LT, but efforts just below the LT can be sustained for hours by well-trained athletes.

Glutathione, sometimes called the “master” antioxidant, is a vital intracellular tripeptide molecule that plays a central role in cellular physiologic functions. It’s popular for its ability to minimize oxidative stress, which can limit the detrimental effects of intense and unaccustomed exercise. In other words, increasing glutathione levels in the blood can decrease oxidative stress, which could increase health and performance.

Study A
A study presented at the 26th Southern Biomedical Engineering Conference in 2010 confirmed that glutathione patches worn 12 hours daily for 4 weeks significantly improved cellular physiologic function.

Study B
A 2008 study done by Dr. Steven Haltiwanger, MD, CCN, Health and Science Director at LifeWave, showed that our Glutathione patches did increase blood glutathione levels better than glutathione supplements or injections.

Although the measurement of pain is subjective and qualitative, various studies confirm that the IceWave patches reduce participants’ perception of pain.

STUDY A
In 2013, one of the leading pain management experts in France, Dr. Pierre Volckmann, conducted a double-blind placebo-controlled study in five French hospitals. A staggering 94 percent of the 100 study participants experienced pain relief within minutes of use.

STUDY B
A 2011 study showed the effectiveness of IceWave® patches in a number of diverse pain conditions ranging from: arthritic, lower back, neck, shoulder, sciatic, sports-related, car accident-related, scapular, and knee pain.

As we all know, good sleep provides us with so many foundational benefits. It helps us feel more refreshed and mentally aware and give us strength to perform our daily tasks. Studies show that Silent Nights patches improve sleep significantly, making life better!

Study A
A 2011 open-label pilot study demonstrated that Silent Nights patches improved sleep in 72 to 88 percent of study participants.

Studies show that SP6 Complete patches do what they say they do: help you lose weight.

Study A
A February 2012 study showed that, on average, the SP6 Complete 4-week program produced positive outcomes at both study sites with approximately 5 lbs. (2.3kg) of weight loss and a waist size reduction of more than 1.5 inches (3.8cm).

Good skin helps us feel and look better. Alavida patches have been proven to increase hydration and improve firmness and appearance.

Study A
A study done by BioScreen Testing in Torrance, CA found that, when used together, the Daily Refresh Facial Nectar, Nightly Restore Facial Crème, and Alavida Patch provided results in as little as 10 minutes, increasing skin hydration, improving skin firmness and the appearance of the evenness of skin tone, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improving the overall appearance of skin.

The pain that horses experience can be hard for humans to manage, both because of the language barrier and because the horses might resist orally administered pain killers. In this case, patches help relieve pain on the spot and without the fight.

Study A
A study done by veterinarians at Coffman Ranch in California and scientists affiliated with Comprehensive Pain Management of Portland, Biostatistics, Inc. in San Diego, and the Department of Electrical of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Texas at El Paso found that AcuLife patches dramatically reduced pain in horses.
