Helping you reclaim
your strength —
without stress or strains.

MitoCharge devices are safe and reliable. They operate using low-frequency, low-energy electromagnetic fields (100 Hz - 10 kHz) that are safe and non-ionising. The magnetic field strengths used are approximately a thousand times weaker than those in conventional MRI machines, and comparable to everyday household appliances.

All MitoCharge devices comply with international electrical and electromagnetic safety standards. The BIXEPS and BIXEPS Pro models are designed and tested to meet the IEC 60335 standard for wellness use. The QMT medical device adheres to the more stringent IEC 60601 standard for medical electrical equipment.

Different users report having different sensations while using MitoCharge, namely: slight warmth in their muscles, a tingling sensation, slight cooling or numbness in their legs or other parts of the body. A large number of users also report having no perceivable sensation.

MitoCharge is safe and reliable, but should you experience pain or discomfort while using MitoCharge or at any time after, do stop and consult your trainer, operator or doctor.

Users with active electronic implants (e.g. pacemakers or defibrillators) should not use MitoCharge devices. Persons with passive implants who are able to go for MRI scan, can safely use MitoCharge.

Dental implants and modern passive implants are non-ferromagnetic and allowably used with much more powerful magnetic medical equipment like the MRI (that operates at field strengths a 1000x stronger than MitoCharge). Some older implants are “weakly magnetic” and are safe for MRI 6 weeks after surgery, these implants are safe to use with MitoCharge too.

Users who are uncertain about the type of implants they have, and are unsure about using MitoCharge should consult with their doctors.

No. The fields are designed to safely and gently reach deep into your muscles to activate the mitochondria within cells. These fields are not affected by clothing and shoes.

Based on our scientific research, 10 minutes of exposure to MitoCharge fields yields optimal benefits. Shorter or longer exposures to the fields render less optimum levels of mitochondria activity and therefore have less of an effect.

More frequent MitoCharge training sessions can lead to greater gains, especially for users who are still mobile or active. While our community data shows that even once a week sessions provide significant fitness and health benefits, doubling the frequency can result in quicker adaptation and more pronounced improvements for most users.

Just like exercise, different levels of stimulation may be more suited to different persons at varying levels of fitness and health. Consult your provider to determine the best programme for you.

MitoCharge sessions can help to increase your muscle mass. On average, users who are older and weaker tend to see a greater increase in muscle mass. However, this increase in muscle mass will not cause your muscles to appear bulkier.

MitoCharge improves muscle energetics, encouraging muscle endurance and its ability to withstand fatigue, but does not directly translate into an increase in muscle size. In fact, fatigue-resistant muscle is often leaner than other muscle types. Because MitoCharge provides muscles with more energy, you might find yourself being able to train harder and longer, and experience faster recovery post-exercise. MitoCharge has been used by athletes to improve their recovery and training outcomes.

Certainly! Using MitoCharge on both legs in a single visit can be beneficial, with increased adaptation of the muscles that are directly exposed to our fields, and an increased level of myokines being released.

As with exercise, each 10-minute MitoCharge session causes our muscles to release a variety of regenerative and metabolic enhancing factors collectively known as Myokines. These signals travel throughout the body and trigger adaptation from non-exposed regions too. Users get fitter and healthier as their bodies adapt to the Myokine signals, but the rate and extent of improvements can depend on many factors like the user's existing health and lifestyle factors (e.g. diet and exercise). Activating both legs will result in an increase in more Myokines being released, further promoting muscle health and recovery.

But more is not always better. We recommend frail and immobile users to start with single-leg sessions, to allow the body to adapt to this added form of MitoCharge training. Our research has shown that weekly single-leg activation programmes are beneficial too.

MitoCharge works by activating the mitochondria within muscle cells. This activation helps to increase energy production in muscles that supports muscle repair and regeneration. Also, activated muscles release signalling molecules, known as Myokines, that circulate throughout the body to encourage systemic benefits such as enhanced metabolism.

We target the upper thigh region, which is often the largest mass of muscles for many users, to effect the most Myokines release per session and to encourage larger benefits on our health and well-being.

No. MitoCharge is not a replacement for physical exercise. Physical activity gets your heart pumping, improves circulation, enhances neuromuscular coordination, and produces mood-boosting endorphins. MitoCharge sessions improve the efficiency of energy production in muscles that will in the long run facilitate and accelerate your journey towards a healthier and more active lifestyle.

While MitoCharge-related adaptations begin at the cellular level from the time your sessions commence, larger functional improvements may take time to build and consolidate, depending on individuals starting state, desired goals.

Just like exercise, once you stop your MitoCharge sessions, your body will recalibrate and adapt to your new lifestyle. We recommend using your new found fitness capabilities to increase your levels of physical activity, empowering your journey towards a more active and healthier lifestyle.

Yes. MitoCharge can be used alongside physiotherapy and other treatments. It is non-invasive, requires no downtime, and can be safely integrated into rehabilitation, recovery, or wellness programmes to enhance outcomes.
