The Helio Gear Research Hub

Built on Science, Proven by Nature.

At Helio Gear, we don’t follow trends — we follow truth. Our mission is to empower men through natural sunlight exposure, enhancing testosterone, recovery, and vitality.
Our patented fabrics are designed to maximize the absorption of sunlight in key areas, unlocking nature’s power to elevate performance and well-being.

Here’s the scientific proof behind the power of sunlight and the concept of Helio Gear.

1. Full-Body Sunlight Exposure & Hormonal Health

📖 Study: The role of vitamin D for skeletal muscle function and testosterone production
Conducted by: Boston University Medical Center (Dr. Michael Holick), 2001
Link: Read Study

✅ Key Findings:

1. Full-body sunlight can generate up to 20,000 IU of Vitamin D in 30 minutes.

2. Greater skin exposure = amplified hormonal balance and testosterone optimization.

💡 Helio Gear Insight:
Our designs strategically increase sun contact on the torso, thighs, and lower abdomen — zones proven to benefit hormonal activity.

2. Infrared Light for Muscle Recovery

📖 Study: Effects of infrared therapy on muscle recovery
Published in: Journal of Athletic Training, 2015
Link: Read Study

✅ Key Findings:

1. Infrared wavelengths promote mitochondrial health and tissue repair.

2. Athletes experienced reduced soreness and faster recovery.

💡 Helio Gear Insight:
Our fabrics allow penetration of beneficial sun spectrums, including infrared, for daily passive recovery boosts.

3. Sunlight’s Impact on Mood & Focus

📖 Study: Light exposure and mental health: a review of effects of natural light
Published in: Journal of Affective Disorders, 2005
Link: Read Study

✅ Key Findings:

1. Increased natural light exposure boosts serotonin — improving mood, motivation, and mental clarity.

2. Regular daylight exposure reduces stress and enhances daily performance.

💡 Helio Gear Insight:
With Helio Gear, sunlight exposure becomes part of your daily armor — not just for your body, but for your mind.

4. Sunlight Intensity & Testicular Growth

Study: Effect of Light Intensity on Testicular Growth
Published in: Biology of Reproduction, 1981
🔗 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7267539/

Key Findings:

  1. Higher light intensities directly stimulate testicular growth and function.
  2. Lower light intensities resulted in reduced tissue penetration and diminished testicular development.
  3. Study confirms the biological response of reproductive tissues to environmental light exposure.

Helio Gear Insight:
This reinforces our design philosophy — maximizing light exposure to the body’s most hormone-responsive areas enhances natural testosterone production and reproductive health. Helio Gear harnesses sunlight intensity strategically to drive peak performance.

5. Light Therapy & Testosterone Elevation

Study: The Effects of Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) on the Testis in Elevating Serum Testosterone Level in Rats
Published in: Photomedicine and Laser Surgery, 2016
🔗 https://selfhacked.com/app/uploads/2017/12/the-effects-of-low-level-laser-therapy-lllt-on-the-testis-in-elevatingserum-testosterone-level-in-rats.pdf

Key Findings:

  1. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) significantly increased testosterone levels in male rats.
  2. Exposure led to enhanced Leydig cell activity, the primary source of testosterone production.
  3. The study supports the concept that specific wavelengths of light can stimulate hormonal responses in reproductive tissues.

Helio Gear Insight:
Helio Gear draws from this scientific foundation, integrating light-permeable materials to naturally stimulate testosterone production through targeted light exposure — without invasive methods.

6. Sunlight & Testosterone: Seasonal Hormonal Fluctuations

Study: Testosterone Levels in Healthy Men and Seasonal Variation: The Tromsø Study
Published in: International Journal of Andrology, 2014
🔗 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25007542/

Key Findings:

  1. The study demonstrated clear seasonal fluctuations in testosterone levels among healthy men.
  2. Testosterone levels were highest during late summer and lowest in winter months.
  3. Increased UVB exposure during sunnier months correlated with natural hormonal peaks.

Helio Gear Insight:
Our products are built on this principle — by maximizing skin exposure to sunlight year-round, Helio Gear helps counteract seasonal dips in testosterone, supporting consistently higher natural levels.

 

7. Ultraviolet Light & Testicular Activity

Study: The Effect of Ultraviolet Irradiation Upon the Sex Glands of the Male Guinea Pig
Published in: Endocrinology, 1939
🔗 https://academic.oup.com/endo/article-abstract/25/1/7/2772602?login=false

Key Findings:

  1. Ultraviolet (UV) light exposure significantly enhanced testicular function in male guinea pigs.
  2. The study found marked increases in both testicular size and activity following UV irradiation.
  3. Results strongly support the biological impact of UV exposure on male reproductive organs.

Helio Gear Insight:
This pioneering research underlines the foundational concept of Helio Gear — that controlled UV exposure through specialized fabrics can stimulate natural hormonal activity and support reproductive health.

Ongoing Innovation at Helio Gear

We continue to collaborate with health experts, sports scientists, and textile engineers to push the boundaries of wearable performance gear.
Our R&D team is actively exploring:

  1. Targeted sun exposure for testosterone-sensitive areas.
  2. Advanced fabrics that balance UV filtering and absorption.
  3. Next-generation recovery tech integrated into wearables.
