ROVNOMĚRNÉ PRŮTOKOVÉ JEDNOTKY

An Electromagnetic Field (EMF) is a continuous field that radiates electromagnetic energy in a wave-like pattern from one place to another.  Electromagnetic radiation can vary in strength from low frequency to high frequency depending on the length of the wave.  If the wave is longer, it has a lower frequency and carries less energy.  If the wave is shorter, it has a higher frequency and carries more energy.  The higher the frequency the easier radiation can penetrate our bodies and cause cellular damage. 

EMF can be produced naturally by the sun and our bodies, or unnaturally by things like cellphones and Wi-Fi.  The range of EMF frequencies exists on what is called the electromagnetic spectrum.  Lower frequencies are described as Non-Ionizing Radiation which includes radio and microwaves, mobile devices, and WiFi.  Higher frequencies are described as Ionizing Radiation which includes UV rays, X-rays, and Gamma Rays.  There is no debate that Ionizing Radiation is very harmful to humans, but researchers and scientists are also proving exposure to Non-Ionizing Radiation (like EMF emitted by Bluetooth and Wi-Fi-enabled devices) is harmful to our health as well. 

“While Ionizing Radiation directly damages DNA, Non Ionizing Radiation interferes with the oxidative repair mechanisms resulting in oxidative stress, damage to cellular components including DNA, and damage to cellular processes leading to cancer.”  “Evidence of free-radical damage has been repeatedly documented among humans, animals, plants, and microorganisms for both extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields (EMF) and for radio frequency (RF) radiation, neither of which is ionizing. Free radical damage explains the increased cancer risks associated with mobile phone use” https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27903411/

These days, there are very few places with little or no influence on human-made EMF.  All wireless devices function by transmitting EMF radiation.  EMF isn’t a by-product of wireless communication; it’s how wireless communication works.  And we’re surrounded by a rapidly growing amount of EMF every day. By some estimates, in today’s cities, we’re exposed to 1 trillion times more EMF than is found in nature.   

This is exceptionally important to recognize when it comes to children and pregnancy.  “Children's brains are more susceptible to hazardous exposures, and are thought to absorb higher doses of radiation from cell phones in some regions of the brain.” https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29884550/

“Three large-scale carcinogenicity studies in rodents exposed to levels of RFR that mimic lifetime human exposures have shown significantly increased rates of Schwannomas and malignant gliomas, as well as chromosomal DNA damage. Of particular concern are the effects of RFR exposure on the developing brain in children.”  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31457001/

Thousands of studies have established that EMF radiation has a negative effect on human health.  It’s been found that when radiation enters the body, it can cause DNA damage, mutation, and cell death, which can trigger various health issues including cancer, tumors, infertility, cognitive decline, memory loss, and ADHD.  Scientists have pointed out that EMF radiation impacts each person differently and depends on many factors, such as the frequency and duration of exposure, the cumulative effect over time, and one’s own genetic makeup and/or underlying health conditions. 

In addition to other environmental toxins (something humans produce or introduce into the environment that disrupts biological processes), like pesticides, phthalates, and other endocrine-disrupting chemicals, EMFs can cause inflammation and oxidative stress. When working to lessen the toxin burden on your cells and overall health, EMF protection is another tool in your wellness arsenal. https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-50289-2_4//

“EMF exposure, even in the low dose range, may well lead to changes in cellular oxidative balance…Pre-existing conditions like diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases compromise the body’s defense mechanisms, including antioxidant protection processes, and individuals with pre-existing conditions are more likely to experience health effects. Further, very young or old individuals can react less efficiently to oxidative stress. This puts them at greater risk of health impacts.” https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/11302824721650/2

EMF-shielding fabric contains conductive materials like silver, copper, and stainless steel, creating a barrier that deflects wireless radiation and prevents certain levels of electromagnetic radiation from being absorbed by the body. People are now turning to EMF-shielding apparel to mitigate adverse health effects and reduce exposure.

Our EMF-shielding fabric panels are made of medical grade pure silver plated Nylon and manufactured in the US by a company supplying shielding materials to the US military and medical industry for the past 25 years. Our unique panel designs encase the metallic fabric in breathable 4-way stretch material and create the feel of traditional activewear.

The shielding effectiveness of our garments has been tested and verified by an internationally recognized independent testing facility to block up to 99% of wireless radiation under laboratory conditions according to the IEEE-299 standards.

Since shielding material does not make EMFs disappear, be aware of the sources of your exposure and the direction electromagnetic fields are traveling. We strongly discourage using wireless devices near children and infants. We do not recommend carrying or resting wireless devices on the body. Do not position an infant or child between a device and EMF-shielding materials.

Our clothes are designed to fit based on your current or pre-pregnancy size.  The bodysuit runs small, so order a size up. The playsuit is short in the torso, so size up if you are tall. Our size guide will also help you determine the correct fit for you.
