THE SCIENCE
WHAT IS TRUE POWER “FAR INFRARED” KINESIOLOGY TAPE?
TRUE POWER “Far Infrared” Kinesiology Tape is an elastic kinesiology tape made of a thin, elasticized 97% cotton and 3% spandex with an acrylic adhesive. It is latex free, hypo-allergenic, and it is designed to be worn through any activity, showering, or just resting 24 hours a day for up to 7 days. Then reapply new tape if necessary.
CLINICALLY TESTED PAIN RELIEF THAT WORKS WITH YOUR BODY
True Power Far Infrared Kinesiology Tape has been clinically tested in the U.S. showing a significant increase in blood circulation and increased oxygenation where the tape is applied. True Power is clinically shown to also have “statistically significant pain relief.”
Pain is a Signal: When the body experiences muscle strain, overuse, or injury, the body’s reaction is to restrict blood flow, reducing oxygen delivery to the area which contributes to pain, discomfort, and increased inflammation.
True Power is a Response: True Power Far Infrared Kinesiology Tape is a solution with a clinically tested far-infrared tape that significantly increases blood circulation and oxygenation where applied.
CLINICAL RESEARCH: Clinically proven to increase local blood circulation and the cells that carry oxygen to tissue.
Red cell flux — measured by Laser Doppler Flowmetry — is the clinical standard for cutaneous blood flow: the localized circulation of red blood cells through tissue at the site of application. An independent trial at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga measured exactly that. Randomized, bilateral, IRB-approved.
Each participant wore a True Power patch on one side and nothing on the other. Researchers measured blood circulation on both sides simultaneously.
The side wearing True Power showed statistically significant increases in local blood circulation at every measured interval. The unpatched side declined. Circulation remained elevated even after the patch was removed.

WHY CIRCULATION MATTERS: What your body does with blood circulation
Oxygen Delivery: Research shows red blood cells regulate local blood flow and support your body's ability to deliver oxygen to tissue.
Nutrient Delivery & Waste Clearance: Healthy circulation supports the delivery of nutrients to tissue and the removal of metabolic byproducts that build up during physical stress.
Tissue Support: Blood flow plays a role in how tissue maintains comfort, recovery, and function.
FAR INFRARED TECHNOLOGY: Deep energy. Beyond the surface.
The body experiences far-infrared as gentle radiant heat that can penetrate up to 4 cm (1.5 in) through skin tissue to reach deep layers of muscle, tissue and blood vessels — delivering energy exactly where your body needs it, without any noticeable surface heat.
This is not surface heat — you will not feel heat from True Power tape. The patch captures your body's own thermal energy and re-emits it as far-infrared in the same band your body naturally radiates — what researchers describe as wavelength resonance — penetrating up to 4 cm through skin tissue to reach muscle, connective tissue and blood vessels. A standard heating pad typically reaches only 0.25–2 cm.
How True Power Uses It
True Power tape is developed with mineral-enhanced Circle and Lightning Bolt infrared zones. When the tape is applied and activated by the body’s heat, these mineral zones emit far-infrared energy where the tape is applied. The tape also captures the bodies heat and converts it back to the body as infrared energy.

The Drexel University Emissivity Study
Independent researchers tested True Power technology. The result: far-infrared emissivity with peak performance in the 8–12 μm range — the same band in which the human body naturally emits thermal energy.
Every warm object radiates infrared light. At normal skin temperature (~33°C / 91°F), the body emits most of its energy between roughly 8 and 14 μm, peaking around 9–10 μm. Because True Power peaks inside this same band, the infrared it re-emits is tuned to the wavelengths your tissue already absorbs most efficiently — penetrating deeply without producing noticeable surface heat.
THE INGREDIENTS: Ancient Wisdom. Modern Testing
What these minerals are known for in published research — not True Power clinical claims.
Tourmaline: A naturally occurring mineral with a crystalline structure that emits far-infrared radiation without an external power source. Studied in published research for its bioactive properties and far-infrared emission characteristics.
Ceramic Powder: Advanced bioceramics with far-infrared emissivity, studied in clinical literature for effects on tissue comfort, muscle recovery, and cellular activity. Documented for anti-oxidative properties.
Mineral-Infused Fabric: Tourmaline and ceramic powder are infused into flexible, breathable fabric in True Power's signature Circle and Lightning Bolt shapes — converting your body's thermal energy into far-infrared energy exactly where the patch is placed.
