By what physical mechanism does Spectrasol support retinal cell regeneration?
The human retina is one of the most energy-demanding tissues in the body. Its cells contain a high number of mitochondria – the cell’s powerhouses that produce energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Long-term exposure to typical LED light with a concentrated blue component leads to oxidative stress and the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which exhausts mitochondria and accelerates retinal aging (so-called age-related macular degeneration).
Spectrasol lighting actively counteracts this process through a phenomenon called photobiomodulation. Our light sources are enriched with specific wavelengths in the deep red and near-infrared range (up to 670 nm). These wavelengths can penetrate tissue and interact with the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase inside mitochondria.
The physical absorption of photons by this enzyme enhances the cell’s respiratory chain, increases ATP production, and helps neutralize free radicals generated during visual activity. In this way, Spectrasol functions not only as a passive tool for vision and circadian support, but as an active therapeutic element that compensates the retina’s energy deficit caused by all-day exposure to artificial lighting or prolonged screen use.
