Research & Evidence

The Science that backs up published research

Our grounding sheets support the body to restrict the build-up of toxic chemicals such as Urea produced by the liver during the breakdown of proteins during physical activity. These toxic chemicals inhibit physical performance, endurance and recovery and thus restrict your full athletic performance potential. Our grounding sheets help you achieve optimal performance potential through long-term exposure to the body's most balanced metabolic state when grounded.
