“I worn my
bracelet the moment it arrived. That night, I
had my first sound sleep for a long long time.
Since then, sleep quality has improved so much.
Thanks for such a wonderful product. I have
strongly recommended my sister to try it. Now
she can’t wait for hers to arrive too!”

“ I was
skeptical of the pain relief claims but I
ordered one anyway since my wrist is always so
painful after working on the computer all day
long. After wearing the bracelet for the second
day, the pain in my wrist went away. Thank you
so much for this.”

"Before this, I had a stainless steel
bracelet with germanium powder from a different seller.
Now I prefer your Titanium Germanium (Model TG06) one as
it much lighter, comfortable and nicer to wear. I had
previously fractured my right wrist and experienced hand
numbness and muscle tightness as a result. Now these
symptoms have disappeared! The same goes for my sleeping
problem. After wearing it on the first night, I slept
through the night peacefully.
Other health effects based on my personal
experience include:
-
It reduced my craving to smoke and
also relieved me of my heart and chest pains. As a
smoker, I felt a sense of tasteless and a kind of
funny feeling.
-
Now
I don't eat as much as before, like
less appetite.
-
I feel more relaxed and less tense
during my work time.
I know it is hard to believe but your
Titanium Germanium bracelet is truly effective based on
just on a few days of wearing.
What surprises me is your bracelet
quality is much higher and your germanium stone diameter
size (5mm) is 2mm is bigger than those selling in our
local shopping centres. Your prices are very reasonable
and much cheaper, your service and knowledge of product
is much better than the local retailers.
If you don't believe it, please go and
compare it yourself.
I fully recommend your product to my friends/relatives.
In fact some of them are trying my bracelet now."
Alan, Singapore
(Note: We had
customized a 10 piece Germanium stone bracelet for this
customer based on special request)

“I am so
happy with the excellent service from the
initial purchase that I am buying more for my
friends and relatives, totaling 8 Titanium
Germanium bracelets so far. Sleep quality has
really improved so far and the pain relief has
been excellent compared to the
magnetic copper bangle that I worn for
years.
I would definitely recommend this product to
anyone who is willing to try germanium and
magnetic therapy”

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ -
Vital-ion Products
Q |
How do Vital-ion products produce negative ions? |
A |
Vital-ion products use
a specially formulated combination of
titanium, gold,
tourmaline, germanium and other minerals
like ceramic to produce
high quality and quantity of
negative ions.
Click here
for more information. |
Q |
Are Vital-ion bracelets and necklaces
waterproof? |
A |
Yes, but it may speed up degradation of the
silicon resin matrix holding the negative
ion-producing minerals.
However, it is safe to wear during
activities as swimming, bathing or showering. |
Q |
Can I wear Vital-ion products while I am
sleeping? |
A |
Definitely. Vital-ion necklaces and bracelets
can be worn 24 hours a day.
For certain individuals, the effects of the eye
mask can be too strong. Wearing it for half an
hour before sleep-time is good enough.
In fact, we highly encourage
the wearing of Vital-ion socks throughout the
whole night as the product enhances blood
circulation and aids in the removal of toxins
from the different organs in the body. |
Q |
Could I have a reaction to any of Vital-ions
products? |
A |
The necklaces,
bracelets and coating on the
protectors are made of surgical silicon
rubber and are totally safe for the vast
majority of people. However, if you are severely
allergic to silicon or rubber we would not
recommend using the products. |
Q |
Will my bracelet and necklace
continue to work
indefinitely? |
A |
In principle, yes. The mineral ingredients in
your bracelet or necklace do not degrade. Of
course, the silicon and connectors will
naturally wear and deteriorate over time. |
Q |
My bracelet or necklace is looking rather
slimy.
How do I clean it? |
A |
Yes. A gentle cleansing with a mild soap is
suitable, however this should be only undertaken
occasionally. |
Q |
I’m not sure my bracelet is working. What should
I do? |
A |
Every person’s experience will be different.
Some people are more sensitive than others, so
we suggest that you remove your bracelet, then keep a careful watch on your
general level of well-being. After a week or
two, return to wearing
the bracelet,
and notice if there is a difference.
You can also do a simple Germanium balancing
test or bring your Vital-ion product to our
office as our ion-tester can
measure the amount of negative ions being
released. |
Q |
What’s a negative ion anyway? |
A |
Ions are small particles commonly found in nature.
When an atom gains at least one electron, the
atom becomes a negative ion. Another name for
negative ions is anion. |
Q |
Why are negative ions ‘good’ and positive ions
‘bad’? |
A |
It seems that many important chemical processes
related to health and mood are needy for
electrons. When they get the electrons they need
(from a handy passing negative ion), the
processes flow on as they were meant to and one
experiences the corresponding health benefits. |
Q |
Can I have ‘too much of a good thing’ with
negative ions? |
A |
It is safe to wear products with negative ions
in the range of 1000 to 2000 ion/cc on any part
of your body.
However, to experience any therapeutic effect,
it is insufficient to be exposed to less than
1000 ion/cc negative ions. An amount surpassing
2000 ion/cc might instead bring you harm in the
case of long term exposure. It is also safe to
wear more than one Vital-ion products at once. Negative ions are beneficial to one’s inner
health and this is backed by decades of research from
highly respected institutions from all over the
world. |

Research on Benefits of Negative ions
The following references are from independent and highly
respected institutions investigating the benefits of
negative ions. These references are merely a small sample of
the extensive testing that has been undertaken over decades
of research.
Importantly, these references are not ‘marketing hype’, nor
is it ‘in-house’ or 'paid research' on behalf of Vital-ion,
but genuine
research detailing the health benefits of negative ions.

Bright light, negative air ions and
auditory stimuli produce rapid mood changes in a student
population: a placebo-controlled study.
Department of Psychology, Wesleyan University, Middletown,
CT, USA. Psychological Medicine. 2006
Sep;36(9):1253-63. Epub 2006 Jun 7.
Quote: “The
auditory stimulus, bright light and high-density ions all
produced rapid mood changes - with small to medium effect
sizes - in depressed and non-depressed subjects, compared
with the low-density placebo, despite equivalent pre-study
expectations. Thus, these stimuli improve mood acutely in a
student sample, including a subset with depressive
symptoms.”

Quote: “Research supports the view that negative ions have a
net positive effect on health, including improved mood,

Quote: “The
diastolic blood pressure (DBP) values during the recovery
period were significantly lower in the presence of negative
ions than in their absence. The plasma levels of serotonin

“High concentrations of
negative ions are essential for high energy and positive
mood”.
"If you deplete the air of negative ions, you experience an
increase in serotonin and its attendant drowsiness and
relaxation—not what you want when mental agility is
demanded.”
