Nefful's Negative Ion Technology

Nefful’s Negative Ion Technology:

Good Health and Good Looks

The chair you’re sitting in is made of atoms. So is the computer screen and everything you see around you. Atoms are the basic building blocks of every “thing” – from human beings to rocks.

Now, you may remember from chemistry class that atoms can lose or gain electrons. They can also bond with other atoms to create molecules. (Don’t worry, this isn’t chemistry 101 – just a little background) Water, H20, is a molecule made up of two hydrogen atoms – that’s the H2 part – and one oxygen atom, the O part of H2O.

What’s an ion?

Ions are nothing more than atoms that have an electrical charge, either positive or negative. Atoms are always losing and picking up electrons – sub-atomic (smaller than an atom) bits that whirl around the core of an atom, which is called the nucleus.

This is an atom. The red sphere in the center is the nucleus. The bits whirling around the nucleus are called electrons.

This is a molecule made up of several, different types of atoms represented by the different colored spheres.

Ions become electrically charged – either positive or negative – when they lose or pick up an electron. Gain an electron and they become cation. Lose an electron and they become an anion. Confused? Well don’t be. Just remember that ions can carry a positive or negative electrical charge.

Negative ions are created all of the time in nature. When a bolt of lighting slices through the air, it creates negative ions. So does a waterfall. As the water mists in falling, it loses an electron, creating that fresh, ozone smell.

Even waves at the beach can create negative ions. As each wave crashes against the shore, electrons are lost in the process. So, there’s nothing unusual about negative ions. They’re simply electrically charged particles floating through the air.

Now, negative ions may not be unusual, but negative ion clothing is. Numerous studies have shown that negative ions have a positive effect on good health and even aging.

• Under stringent test conditions, negative ions have shown that they deliver health benefits regardless of age.
• All living things require negative ions to survive.
• Oxygen, necessary for human life, carries a negative charge.
• Test subjects exposed to negative ions showed higher levels of focus and serenity.
• People with severe, chronic pain report that negative ion therapy relaxes the body and mind, enabling test subjects to better cope with their pain.
• It’s believed that negative ions extract from the environment certain bacteria that cause colds, flu and lung infection.
• Negatively charged air is refreshing. (Remember how you feel at the shore or at the foot of a waterfall? That’s because you’re breathing in high concentrations of negative ions.)
• Other benefits to health include: improved blood circulation, lowered blood pressure levels, improved sleep, joint pain relief and lessened recovery times from injury.

The tests are there. The effects documented.

Irrefutable Scientific Documentation

An article in The New York Times on seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a condition in which people become depressed and lethargic during the gloomy winter months, positively stated the effects of negative ions on improving mood.

“…sitting in front of a machine that emits negative ions at a high rate for 30 minutes every morning was as effective as sitting in front of a light box for the same time.”

In other words, according to the Times report, negative ion therapy improved mood and lessened the depressive effects of SAD.

The science behind negative ion therapy hypothesizes that once the negative ions reach the bloodstream through the lungs, they cause an increase in a body chemical called serotonin – proven to increase energy and stamina levels, to alleviate stress, to improve focus and to lessen the impact of depression.

Impartial studies conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) showed that a high concentration of negative ions cuts dust levels by as much as 50%. The same USDA study showed a 95% decrease in air-borne bacteria when negative ions were released into the air.

In another study, this one conducted in a hospital in the UK, ionizers (machines that produce negative ions) “dramatically reduced the incidence of infections from [a] resistant hospital bug…in the ITU unit…” (Jolley, The Power of Negative Ion Science)

Negative Ionization Changes Body Chemistry

From the same study, “High levels of negative ions are found at the beach, in the mountains, the country, pine forests, near waterfalls and many other places people enjoy – places people…go to be refreshed and renewed. The air in these places creates an effect on human biochemistry.” (Jolley)

We’re all familiar with the rejuvenating effects of clean, fresh air. Even when you simply open a window, that fresh air makes you feel better all over. Why? A burst of negative ions and the subsequent release of the neuro-hormone, serotonin, produces a “good-all-over” feeling. The scientific proof is out there. And, your own experience demonstrates that the technology does, indeed, deliver improved health.

Nefful’s Negative Ion Bedding, Clothing and Supports

It looks good and it’s good for you.

It’s called Nefflon, Nefful’s proprietary fabric designed to generate negative ions in our luxurious line of bedding, undergarments, joint supports and accessories – from cozy Nefflon socks to scarves and caps that keep out the winter chill and improve your well being – 24 hours a day.

Nefflon, introduced in 1979, has been used by hundreds of thousands of people globally, increasing vitality, alleviating common aches and pains and eliminating anxiety and depression. And though studies on negative ion therapies have been undertaken since the early 20th century, only in recent decades has the technology advanced to the point where the health benefits of negative ions can be delivered effectively by wearing negative ion garments.

Nefful’s complete line of Nefflon durable bedding, undergarments, joint supports and other accessories are crafted from the highest quality materials and designed to provide the well-documented health benefits of negative ion therapy:

• regulate body temperature no matter how hot or cold it is outside
• produce a high concentration of life-giving negatively ionized oxygen
• direct the healing powers of negative ions to specific sources of joint pain
• improve mood and lessen anxiety and depression any time of the year
• clean the air of bacteria and other harmful materials such as dust and mites
• increase focus and feel less tired

Science, Quality and Good Health

Along with its line of bedding, undergarments, supports and accessories, Nefful’s products include solid science, unparalleled quality of materials and construction and, finally, improved health regardless of your age or location.

Authorities concur: negative ions improve human capacity to absorb and utilize oxygen, required for life. Negative ions accelerate delivery and processing of oxygen in the brain.

The results, which are borne out by over 100 years of scientific study, include increased abilities to focus and concentrate, increased levels of mental energy, improved ability to heal both physically and emotionally, relief of physical pain, the elimination of allergy-causing pollutants in the air, improved ability to manage stress, anxiety and depression and finally, higher, more efficient rates of lung capacity – even in long-time smokers.

There simply are no products to compete with Nefful’s quality and function. Once people have tried any of our Nefflon product lines, they’re convinced. The feel the benefits almost immediately. And nothing sells like success!

The Nefful Company is based on two simple ideas: overall good health and quality throughout the manufacturing process of every product we carry.

This is one product line you’ll be proud to share with family, friends and the other important people in your life.

Nefful – it works. It’s science. It’s proven. And it’s your opportunity to share these clothes and bedding that are not only attractive and sturdy, but also deliver the health benefits of negative ion technology.
