The good news is that RayVio UVB LED can be used for the treatment of patients with vitamin D deficiency

PR Newswire published today shows that compared to Scientific Reports in the sun on the 293nm LED RayVio, UV light can be more effective to produce vitamin D3 in skin samples. In Michael F. Holick MD led and Boston University School of medicine and Boston University Ignition Award support, Tyler Kalajian and his research team found that exposure to ultraviolet RayVio LED just 0.52 minutes of skin samples produced by vitamin D3 is exposed to the sun for 32.5 minutes two times more samples.

Boston University School of medicine, Professor of physiology and Biophysics, Boston Medical Center endocrinologist Dr. Holick said: "we tested different sources and different wavelengths of ultraviolet light LED. RayVio 293nm LED showed that vitamin D3 generated the greatest potential in the shortest time. This study will bring a new generation of optical pharmacological techniques, the use of specific wavelength of LED can cause specific biological effects in human skin, help the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases."

Vitamin D deficiency can cause rickets, osteoporosis and other metabolic bone disease, more common in the year long time sunshine Limited North and south latitude area. This device is suitable for the production of vitamin D in inflammatory bowel disease and gastric bypass fat malabsorption syndrome patients. The study showed that RayVio UV LED can be used for the treatment of vitamin D deficiency patients.

Ultraviolet LED device to produce vitamin D3 can be used for skin less exposure to sunshine, such as thigh, arm, abdomen and back, thereby reducing the risk of non melanoma skin cancer to maximize. The device can also launch more narrow band UVB (UV B), thereby reducing the possibility of injury to the skin skin is exposed to higher wavelength ultraviolet radiation.

RayVio CEO Robert C. Walker said: "the potential of digital technology in the ultraviolet phototherapy is huge. Study on UVB LED Holick, we proved that the new application is expected to improve the potential of life and save hundreds of thousands of people. In the United States alone, 75% of adolescents and adults with vitamin D deficiency. The research team's efforts and the Boston University Photonics Center in the ultraviolet LED's seminal work, we may soon see innovative treatment options (such as with wearable device integration) can help millions of people."
