Bio-Ceramics, also known as Bio Chemistry Ceramics is a process of producing far infrared energy. The word "bio-ceramic" refers to the unique powdered material using selected earth minerals that serve to emit Far Infrared Rays at temperature near the human body heat.

Bio-ceramic is a material produced by combining various mineral oxides such as Silica, Aluminum, Magnesium, and over 20 types of ceramics. These ingredients are heated at high temperatures (2900 F/1600C) and the result is called bio-ceramic material. Being a new textile material, the far infrared fiber is provided with such functions as excellent health care and physical therapy, heat effect, moisture elimination, penetrability and bacterial inhibition, absorbs heat dispersed by the human body, promotes blood circulation and retains warmth.

Far Infrared Rays are part of the sunlight spectrum which is invisible to the naked eye. The sun, certain types of stones and minerals and living beings all radiate FIRs. Far Infrared Rays and their therapeutic properties have been studied and used in China and Japan for many years. The human body also radiates FIRs. They are said to have a number of positive effects on energetic processes in the human body. They are experienced as a pleasant, slight warmth and better circulation and also as enhanced performance and general wellbeing. (Innovation in Textiles)

Far Infrared Therapy offers a safe healing option about how you can achieve optimal well-being, allowing you to take control of managing your own health.
Infrared rays heat our body by a process called conversion. Through conversion, infrared heat can penetrate organic substances such as the human body without heating the air in between.

The reflection of the FIRs promotes blood circulation and increased oxygen levels in the blood. This additional energy has many positive effects on the body, such as performance enhancement and prevention of premature fatigue, as well as improved regeneration.
In addition, in some cases Far Infrared Therapy can also improve health through following functions:

• Rejuvenating the skin and muscle tone.
• Optimizing the oxygen transportation in the blood cell.
• Promoting regeneration and fast healing.
• Optimizing the autonomic functions of the nervous system.
• Reducing fatty acids in the tissues.
• Optimizing metabolism between blood and tissue.

These terms are often interchanged. Basically most people understand them as delivering the same therapeutic benefits; however, to be accurate, far infrared thermal energy is the science behind the bio-ceramic product that delivers the health benefits to you. Bio-ceramic technology is an appropriate term because the health care benefits of these unique products is the result of the superfine bio-ceramic compounds impregnated into these therapy clothing.

It is a well-known fact that human body constantly emits thermo energy in the form of far infrared rays (FIR). When the Far Infrared technology coated onto the fabric is stimulated by the thermo energy of the body heat, it converts it into far infrared rays and reflects it back into the human body. So the far infrared radiation emitted by the coated fiber is really powered by our own body heat.

Yes, all human bodies, animals and minerals are able to discharge Far Infrared Rays under different specific circumstances. The human body is able to discharge Far Infrared Rays because of its constant temperature and the continuous movements of the body's organs, body structure, cells, and blood and body molecules. The rays discharged by the human body are subjected by its health, age, season and the stage of any illness it may be under.

Far Infrared products (clothing) have the ability to penetrate up to 2 inches (approx. 5cm) then refract, radiate and reflect.
When one of the Far Infrared products of the same wavelength is placed near our body, simultaneous vibration of Far Infrared Rays of the same wavelength will occur due to our body temperature. Such simultaneous vibration will help the weaker parts of our body to absorb more rays which will in turn strengthen and revitalise our health.

There are numerous health products on the market now. Every health product comes with its own unique functions and advantages. Each health product and method is in different stages of development and has different functions. All Veturo Therapy products are made with the latest bio-ceramic patented formula, using the engineering of systems and materials at molecular scale called nanotechnology.

There have been numerous studies on the therapeutic effects of FIR products. One clinical study done by Dr. Gordon Ko and Dr. David Berbrayer at Sunnybrook and Women's College Health Science Centers at the University of Toronto, published in the August 2002 issue of Alternative Medicine Review Journal of Clinical Therapeutics, showed that there are significant improvements in both subjective measures of pain and discomfort associated with Raynaud's Syndrome.
In another study done by Hideyoshi Toyokawa and others in Japan using rat, published in the Experimental Biology and Medicine, it showed some FIR technology can improve wound healing significantly. More studies and a lot of literature are available about FIR science.

Many people noticed that wearing these gloves help to restore some level of mobility to the fingers as well as decreasing the uneasiness. In some cases the tests lead to believe symptoms of chronic illnesses, pains diminish substantially and/or patients experienced a more comfortable daily life.

Far Infrared Veturo Therapy Gloves provide warmth and help relieve, arthritis pain, soreness, swelling, numbness, tingling fingers, tight hand muscles, burning pain from carpal tunnel, symptoms of Raynaud's phenomenon, hand muscle spam, joint stiffness, pain from chilled hands, hand fatigue. Also, our gloves help to heat and expand blood capillaries to promote both micro and macro circulation, promote cellular regeneration and fast healing, reduce fatty acids in the tissues, can be worn all day and night, are washable and durable, cost-effective.

There are no known side effects from using any Veturo Therapy products. In some cases, as the body gets rid of old toxins and seems to function different some individuals may experience some initial detoxification symptoms or they can feel too warm, too much energy, etc. This is usually a good sign and means the Veturo Far Infrared Gloves are working well. In case of doubts about your health in association with the use of far infrared gloves, you should always consult a physician first for medical advice.

The effects feel by users will vary depending on everyone's health needs. If you do not feel anything by using these products, your body may be healthier than others. But many people who worn this gloves for the first time they felt the shooting energy within the first 10 minutes and in time an improvement of their condition.

Time taken to feel the effects will vary depending on our body's health. Most customers feel the effects during the short period of time while others have noticed a gradual transition over a longer period of time.

If you follow the suggested washing instructions, our therapy gloves should last you for a very long time. But remember Veturo Therapy gloves are designed for therapeutic use only. You cannot use them direct for working in the garden or construction but you can use far infrared gloves inside a pair of special working gloves. Also, to avoid tearing do not wear rings with gem stones; the fibres can be destroyed in this way.

No, you should not apply any balms, oils, heat rubs or other moisture products under far infrared gloves, knee bands or socks.

Yes, after many tests we found this option to use far infrared Veturo gloves for driving or riding comfort in vehicles. The additional layer allows you a good grip on the steering wheel. Also, the lightweight outer layer creates a micro-climate that maintains an elevated skin temperature while still allowing the skin to breathe for long-term comfort.

We cannot use genuine leather as additional layer on far infrared material because the leather is not lightweight and the entire product cannot be washable then. Our gripping layer has the same features like leather, is thin, light and washable.

Veturo gloves can be worn anytime, as often as you like during the day or throughout the night. These therapeutic gloves are cozy and shooting relief.

Veturo Therapy fabric is made from 95% polypropylene impregnated with micro-particles of lead-free bio-ceramics 5%. This is the ideal combination for far infrared material to increase the benefit of the gloves.

The ceramic fabric used in our products is made from various minerals and over 20 kinds of ceramic. The main one is powdered tourmaline which release 5.6 to 15 microns far infrared rays. The far infrared in this range is good for human's health. The far infrared gloves' material is made with the lasted bio-ceramic patented formula using the engineering of systems and materials at molecular scale called nanotechnology.

Tourmaline is classified as a semi-precious stone. As a natural crystal gem, tourmaline has its special piezoelectric and thermoelectric effect which benefits for human health. From its raw form tourmaline is created into a powder used beside other minerals and ceramics in making bio-ceramics fiber. Using tourmaline which emitting far infrared rays, you can benefit of the health care treatment of far infrared for a long time. It can effectively improve blood microcirculation, adjust the balance of the body, resist bacteria and diminish inflammation, resist fatigue, soothe the nerves and build up body health.

Veturo therapy gloves are washable as required. Far Infrared Clothing, in general, should be hand washed or use gentle cycle of a washing machine in cold/warm water (below 15^oC or 60F). Mild soap, hand soap or even mild detergent can be used. If you hand wash the product then rinse in cold water, role it in a dry towel to remove excess of water. Drip dry (recommended) at the room temperature or machine air dry. Avoid heat and direct sunlight. Do not dry clean, iron or bleach.
