Welltex® Fabric
Welltex® products contain 100% polypropylene (PP) with infused bio-ceramic powder or are a 50% polyester and 50% cotton mix with infused bio-ceramic powder.
Welltex® products have been developed for Humans, Horses, and Dogs. The bio ceramic infused into Welltex® product thread results in the fabric’s ability to reflect body infra red heat waves back into the originating body. The result is an increase in blood circulation and oxygen delivery often resulting in pain reduction.
Use of bio ceramic Welltex® products should be implemented gradually. It is recommended that Welltex® products be used for a maximum of four hours a day for the first 2-3 days. This allows your body time to familiarize itself with the fabric’s effects.
The rational for first time Welltex® product use (no more than 4 hours during a 24-hour cycle) is that a slight increase in pain may be experienced by the user when a Welltex® product is used for the first time and left on too long. This effect is due to increased blood circulation, which is a good indicator the ceramic in the Welltex® fabric is taking effect. This initial pain or swelling may occur after a few hours of use. If this happens adjust the time the product is used during a 24-hour cycle until there is no further pain or swelling.
After introducing the product to your body over several days, increase the usage to a minimum of 8 hours per day, preferably more. Positive effects on tight muscles and stiff joints are often experienced after a few hours of use. More persistent problems may require 10-21 days of use, before the desired result is achieved.
Since the Welltex® ceramic fabric reflects more of the body’s heat radiation as you move, its effect is greatest if products are worn when the user is active. However, Welltex® products are also effective when the user is resting or sleeping.
It is suggested that Welltex® product use be reduced after 21 consecutive days of use to avoid dependency. The sensitivity of this dependency varies from individual to individual. For maximum effect, Welltex® fabric should be in direct contact with the skin.
Note: Caution is advised when using Welltex® products simultaneously with liniment, since some liniments may amplify the Welltex® effect. Use the product only as directed and consult a doctor if symptoms persist. Do not use during pregnancy.
