Working mechanism of NEFFUL clothing

In summary, the conversation discusses the claim that NEFFUL clothes can release anions when rubbed with skin. The generation of anions through the Triboelectric effect is not doubted, but there is a question about the fate of the cations produced during ionization. The thread is temporarily closed for moderation and will only be reopened once peer-reviewed journal articles or government health agency articles are provided to support the claimed health benefits.

Recently I heard that NEFFUL clothes, when rubbed with our skin, could release anions (refer to attached image for more details). I do not doubt the generation of anion, due to Triboelectric effect. But could anyone advise, where does the "cations" that were produced during the ionization go?

Since the attachment claims Health Benefits, we will need journal references to the research behind this. @abcd8989 -- please send me a message (click on my avatar and Start a Conversation) with peer-reviewed journal articles that discuss these Health Benefits. Links to government health agency articles would work as well. Then we can re-open this thread. Thank you.
 

Related to Working mechanism of NEFFUL clothing

What is NEFFUL clothing and how does it work?

NEFFUL clothing is a type of functional clothing that is designed to improve the body's circulation and overall well-being. It works by incorporating negative ions into the fabric, which are released when the clothing comes into contact with the body's heat and moisture. These negative ions then interact with the body's own positive ions, helping to balance the body's energy and promoting better health.

What are negative ions and how do they benefit the body?

Negative ions are molecules that have gained an extra electron, giving them a negative charge. These ions are found in nature, such as in waterfalls and forests, and are known to have positive effects on the body. They can help to improve blood circulation, boost the immune system, and enhance overall physical and mental well-being.

How does NEFFUL clothing improve circulation?

NEFFUL clothing utilizes negative ions to improve circulation by increasing the amount of oxygen-carrying blood cells in the body. This helps to deliver more oxygen to the body's tissues and organs, promoting better circulation and nutrient absorption. Improved circulation can also help to reduce inflammation and promote faster healing.

Can NEFFUL clothing help with certain health conditions?

While NEFFUL clothing is not a medical device and should not be used as a substitute for medical treatment, many people have reported positive effects on various health conditions. These include improved symptoms of allergies, asthma, chronic pain, and fatigue. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for specific medical advice.

How long does the negative ion effect last in NEFFUL clothing?

The negative ion effect in NEFFUL clothing can last for the lifetime of the garment, as long as it is cared for properly. This means avoiding harsh detergents and washing in cold water, as well as avoiding high heat when drying. Over time, the amount of negative ions may decrease, but the clothing will still provide benefits for the body's circulation and overall health.
