General Research on the Effects of Low-Level (Microcurrent) Electrical Stimulation on Many Types of Tissue Conditions

The most often-quoted reference to the effects of microamperage stimulation.

The Nobel Prize was awarded to two scientists who in 1992 discovered a way to prove that the electrical potentials of the cell membrane establishes a gradient which prevents or allows ions (sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, etc.) to pass through miniscule pore-like ion channels. The relevance of this scientific breakthrough to understanding the benefits of microcurrent is founded on evidence that microamperage stimulation reestablishes normal cellular electrical potentials.

ATP (Adenosine TriPhosphate) molecules are the storage and distribution vehicles for energy in thebody. The breakdown of ATP into ADP yields energy.
