Now, I haven’t used them personally (no need). But I’m in the skeptical camp. Sorry, but I’m a scientist by training, and a sample size of 10 for a clinical study like they cite is…well, not very robust. The research that does exist about FIR therapies has almost universally focused on active heating, not passive heating like BOT.
I don’t doubt that the products themselves are well made, but there’s no good scientific evidence showing that any FIR/ceramic wearables are therapeutic in nature. Yeah, they increase blood flow by keeping in heat, but regular old fleece can do that too. There was only one very biased study that I could find, and it was funded by a manufacturer of wearables (for humans) with a vested interest in the outcome. If it truly worked as well as people claimed, I imagine there’d be heaps of evidence in various medical journals. There’s just not.
