Germanium

All solid Germanium stones are tested to purity of at least 99.99%.

            Test Report on Germanium purity from SGS Taiwan                                       Test Report on Germanium purity from Nanjing University

A Simple Germanium Balancing Test Interlock all fingers from both hands tightly behind your back Stand with both feet slightly apart and ensure the soles of your feet are also flat on a level floor. Ask someone standing behind to apply a downward force on your interlocked fingers until the tendency to topple backwards happen quickly. However if you are wearing a high purity germanium product, your body will experience a very significant change in resisting the downward force than without the presence of a germanium product on your body. The higher the purity of the germanium, the stronger and more stable the body will become.   Always insist on doing this simple test as it will assure you of getting a quality product with high purity germanium.

Germanium is a semiconductor element that has a small band gap that allows it to efficiently respond to infrared light. The two important characteristics of Germanium that brings about healthy function effects are its natural ability to emit negative ions and the penetration of Far Infrared Rays into the human body.

1.     Removing Harmful Positive Ions and Effect of Negative Ions

A Germanium atom has thirty-two electrons with four of them constantly moving unsteadily along its outermost shell. These four electrons are negative-charge carriers. One of these four electrons will be ejected out of its orbit once the temperature is above 32 degrees Celsius. The remaining three electrons will seize an electron from other atoms in order to maintain balance. In essence, once in contact with the human skin, the negatively charged electrons from the millions of Germanium atoms will attract the harmful positively charged electrons from the body. 

Our current urban lifestyle exposes the human body to harmful positive ions generated from mobile phones, computers, electronic and electrical equipment, chemicals, acid rain and ultraviolet rays. Hence, the negative-charge ion from Germanium will help in blood purification and balancing the positive and negative ions within the body. This also achieves muscle relieving effects as well as reducing fatigue and tiredness.

The acidification of the blood which is caused by the loss of electrons can be prevented by negative ions, which contains an abundant amount of electrons. This improves the body's immunity and resistance to sickness.

The metabolism of the human cell is an extremely important process as it purges waste out of the body while acquiring nutrients from the blood. With more negative ions in the body, the body's metabolism process also increases in its efficiency.

Conversely, with more positive ions in the blood, the body's metabolism becomes less efficient and slower. Thus the human cells become weak and the body is more susceptible to sickness and the ageing process becomes accelerated.

2.     Effect of Far Infrared Rays

Germanium has the ability to emit a high percent of Far Infrared Rays that penetrate deep into the human body. When Far Infrared Rays are absorbed into the various organs of the human body, it activates, revitalizes, develops and strengthens them. It also increases temperature under the skin as well as promotes micro circulatory flow within the human body, thus improving one’s overall health condition.

Benefits

While scientific research has not been conclusive, some people are said to have experienced the various benefits:

• Strengthens one's immune system.
• Increases blood circulation
• Raises oxygen levels

• Speeds up metabolism of body cells
• Regulates positive and negative ions within the body
• Removes harmful toxins
• Relieves joint and muscle pain
• Alleviates physical stress, stiffness, cramps or discomfort

• Controls swelling
• Reduces water retention
• Relieves fatigue and tiredness
• Promotes quality sleep
• Slows down ageing
• Increases and maintains body warmth

It should be noted that the above benefits experienced may vary from individual to individual.

Magnets

All Magnets are Neodymium N48 of approximately 2,600 to 3,000 surface gauss with True North facing to the skin. Prior to being embedded into the bracelets, these same Magnets have a starting gauss strength of 3,800.

All Magnets are encapsulated in stainless steel cups and sealed with clear epoxy coating for additional protection.

How Magnets Work

Magnets have been used all over the world for thousands of years and believed to possess healing powers. When magnets are placed on the human body, the magnetic field penetrates the skin tissues and bones. As blood contains iron, it acts as a conductor of magnetic energy in helping to increase the flow of blood and, therefore, increase the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues. This assists the growth of healthy new cells and initiates the body to heal itself by its natural ability.

The use of  North facing magnetic orientation to the body is widely considered to give the best magnetic benefits as the North polarity produces a stronger magnetic field effect resulting in better penetration to the skin.

Benefits

The effects of magnets are said to provide relief in the treatment of many ailments for various people. The benefits are: 

• Stimulates the body's natural healing power
• Increases blood circulation
• Raises oxygen levels
• Speeds up metabolism of body cells
• Removes harmful toxins
• Relieves joint and muscle pain
• Alleviates physical stress, stiffness, cramps or discomfort
• Controls swelling
• Reduces water retention
•  Relieves fatigue and tiredness
• Promotes quality sleep
• Slows down ageing

It should be noted that the benefits experienced may vary from individual to individual.

Caution

While research shows that there are no harmful side effects caused by the use of magnets, individuals fitted with pacemakers should never use this product

Tungsten Carbide

Tungsten Carbide is a chemical compound containing tungsten and carbon. Tungsten is a very hard and dense metal. It has the highest melting point and the highest tensile strength of all metals. Its corrosion resistance is excellent. On its own, tungsten is vulnerable to scratches and damage. Tungsten gains its extreme hardness by being combined with a carbon alloy, transforming it into Tungsten Carbide with a hardness between 8.5 and 9.5 (Diamonds are a 10 - the highest) on the Mohs hardness scale. Tungsten carbide is four times harder than titanium, twice as hard as steel, is virtually unscratchable.

Its extreme hardness and scratch-resistant makes it ideal for jewellery. The finish is highly resistant to scratches and scuffs, holding its mirror-like shine that last forever.

All Tungsten Carbide bracelets are also hypoallergenic and cobalt free.

Titanium

All Titanium of at least 99% purity (Commercial Pure Grade 2)

Titanium has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of all metals. It has very high tensile strength yet it is more than 42% lighter than steel. Its light weight makes it comfortable to wear.  

Titanium is least toxic to human yet it has toxic effects against certain bacteria. Titanium is an excellent choice for people who do not usually wear jewellery due to very sensitive skin.

Stainless Steel

All Stainless Steel is made of Non-Reactive 316L premium  grade that is also hypoallergenic. In compliance with the Nickel Free Standard EN1811 and EN12472 in Europe.

Stainless Steel is also used in our bracelets in the link pins and fold-over locking clasp for better durability.
