Why does the algonix work with micro current?
Stimulation with micro-currents (mA) is also called biostimulation or bioelectric therapy because it can stimulate cell physiology and growth. In a study with important implications for electrotherapy using micro current, Cheng and Alt (1982) verified the effects of electric currents of varying intensity on variables crucial to the healing process. The production of ATP (i.e. the production of cell energy) increased by approx. 500%, while amino acid transport increased by 30-40% over control levels. When currents were increased up to the milliamp level, the production of ATP stopped, amino acids decreased by 20-73% and protein synthesis was reduced by 50%. These trials suggest that high (milliamp) currents inhibit the healing process while micro-currents help it. Further research on isolated tissues or cells in culture showed that the intracellular ATP resynthesis rate, the protein synthesis rate and DNA replication increase as a direct result of the electric stimulation of the human f
