New Wonder Fabric For UK

Would you believe in a  baselayer wonder fabric which is claimed to 'emit infrared rays' and, in the process, enhance athletic performance, even lowering resting heart rates and improving muscular efficiency?


Would you believe that it also claims to reduce inflammation in injuries and speed up healing? Those are some of the assertions made for Nexus Energy Source Fabric, which is hitting the UK soon.

The fabric's used exclusively by Italian sports clothing company Accapi and new company Accapi UK will be bringing it to the British market. We're off to a launch in the Lake District next month where, they say, they'll prove scientifically that the fabric works, so more then, but here's a bit of background information for the time being.

'Natural Infrared'

The claims made for Nexus Energy Source do seem extraordinary. In brief, the fabric contains aluminium, platinum and titanium and is claimed to emit 'natural infared'. The effect of this, says Accapi, is wide ranging:

'[It] promotes the re-organisation of the water cluster in our organism improving transportation of nourishment and toxins and thereby tissue hydration and cellular metabolism. The system works with the athlete during competition, recovery, free time, sleep and training. '

Accapi has carried out studies which it says give scientific proof that the fabric increases power in cyclists and quotes top mountaineer Simone Morro as saying that sleeping in Nexus lowers his resting heart rate by 5 beats per minute. It's even claimed to effect core stability, help the elimination of lactic acid, increase muscular power, prevent microtrauma and muscular strains and reduce recovery times and post-exercise pain.

The product line includes clothing and socks, water bottle covers - the fabric is also claimed to break down liquids with beneficial results - and athletic supports, which are supposed to speed up healing.

Oh and on top of all this, it's also claimed to dry faster and have a natural anti-bacterial action without any additional treatments.

Proof?

As journalists, we're naturally pretty skeptical and the claims for Nexus Energy Source are so extraordinary that it's going to take an awful lot to convince us, but for now we're keeping an open mind.

Full report from the launch next month. In the mean time, you can find more infortmation at www.accapi.com and imminently at the new www.accapi.co.uk web sites.
