What are some benefits of Microcurrent Therapy?
Microcurrent increases ATP production by 500 %. ATP is the primary molecule from which our body produces energy, and it is found in every cell of the body. In a study done by Ngok Cheng, M.D. entitled “The Effects of Electric Current on ATP Generation, Protein Synthesis and Membrane Transport..”, it was demonstrated that ATP production increased five times with currents from 50 uA to 1000 uA. With currents exceeding 1000 uA, which is the milliamp range, ATP production leveled, and with 5000 uA ATP production was reduced slightly. Microcurrent was also shown to increase protein synthesis and amino acid transport. Microcurrent applied to injured tissue supports the natural current flow in the tissue, allowing cells in the traumatized area to regain their capacitance, or flow of electrons. Trauma affects the electrical potential of the damaged cells. The injured area has a higher electrical resistance than the surrounding tissue. This decreases electrical conductance through the injured a
