About SOL PhotoVites™ — HealthSpan Therapy
SOL PhotoVites™
powered by— SOLshine Photo Nutrition™
SOL PhotoVites™ emit "a balanced spectral diet" that includes a trace of UV and a broad band of near infrared light... unlike any other light.
SOL PhotoVites are akin to vitamins that are required for normal cell function, growth and development.
- Helps prime retinal cells for repair & regeneration.
- Aids the production of ATP (cellular fuel) in the mitochondria.
- Essential for subcellular as well as circulatory melatonin production.
- Helps synchronize vital circadian rhythms and is especially beneficial at night to prepare for sleep.
- A must when using computers & other electronic screens to counter blue light.
- May also be used during the day for an energy boost much like a cup of coffee
"One third of the energy your body consumes comes from the food you eat. The vast majority of the energy your body needs to maintain systemic equilibrium comes from environmental infrared light exposure."

“We are all light deficient and this deficiency may be the source of our physical and emotional problems.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the light that's emitted from SOlshine Photo Nutrition different than other full-spectrum lights (FSL)?
- Other FSL lights are not actually full-spectrum. They are visible spectrum only and do not include a broad band of essential near infrared light (NIR) or a trace of ultra violet light (UV).
- So-called FSL that does not include invisible near infrared light (NIR) is harmful to one's biology, especially the eyes. (Retinal damage by commercial LED)
Why are the SOL PhotoVites near infrared (NIR) LEDs faintly glowing red?
The shorter near-infrared wavelengths, which are closer to visible light (700nm to 900nm), may appear as a faint red glow when looking directly at them.
Why are some of the LEDs not glowing in the SOL bioBulb? Are they not working?
All of the LEDs are working properly, however the brightness of the white light washes out the faint glow of the near infrared (NIR). Half of the 18 LEDs will appear to not be working, however they are emitting 5 different NIR wavelengths.
What is the therapeutic difference between SOL bioBulbs and SOL PhotoVites?
The therapeutic benefit is the same for both. However, the difference is associated with the amount of time required because SOL Photovites emit 14,840 lux while SOL bioBulbs emit 10,940 lux.
Are there any contraindications or side effects when using SOLshine?
Anyone with a medical condition should check with their physician before using. Occasionally, a common side effect can be similar to drinking 'too much' coffee. If this occurs, reduce the amount of use time and/or simply increase the distance from the light source.
Can SOLshine be used for seasonal affective disorder (SAD)?
Yes, SOLshine will benefit SAD sufferers, however SOLshine is not limited to bright light therapy for SAD. SOLshine addresses the epidemic of Mal-illumination of which SAD is a sub-syndrome.
What is SOLshine's recommended use?
SOLshine SHOULD BE USED DAILY FOR LIGHT HYGIENE ALL YEAR LONG
- SOL PhotoVites is intended for morning nutritional light therapy and may be used throughout the day for a natural energy boost.
- Unique dual modes allows for a convenient timed sessions.
- Near infrared mode is especially beneficial at night to aid sleep.
- SAD light therapy
- SOL bioBulb is used for nutritional light therapy as well as all-day natural lighting.
- Includes a convenient "clip-on" with cord & switch.
- May also be used in track & overhead cans for general lighting.
- SAD light therapy
- SOL Telescope (includes a SOL bioBulb)
- Adjustable height & directional gooseneck floorlight is convenient for many applications.
- Especially beneficial to counter computer radiation and blue light.
- SAD light therapy
Will SOLshine give me a tan?
No. SOLshine will not give you a tan.
Can I hurt my eyes by looking at SOLshine?
SOLshine will not damage your eyes by glancing at the light, but it is bright and it is not intended to look at the light to receive wellness benefits. SOLshine is intended to deliver a light 'shower' much like sunshine at noon.
Is SOLshine safe for children to use?
SOLshine is safe for children of all ages, and for seniors too.
Safe Bright Light Therapy
If you're looking for full-spectrum light therapy to support someone struggling with SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), or seasonal depression, it's important to be aware of a little known...
SAD LIGHT EYE HAZARD
Common SAD light boxes do NOT include sufficient red light and lack essential near infrared light (NIR) that's absolutely necessary to mitigate retinal inflamation.
“LED light exposure that is not balanced with full (spectrum) sunlight loaded with the red parts of the spectrum is always damaging to your biology.”— Alexander Wunsch, MD, PhD, Photobiology Expert

SOLshine is the fullest-spectrum nutritional light source that includes 'visible & invisible' light wavelengths akin to natural sunlight. SOLshine emits “balanced” full-spectrum light (FSL) based on an innovative formula unlike any other SAD bright light or FSL.
SOLshine Photo-Nutrition builds on the technology of the father of FSL tech, Dr. John Ott. SOLshine intrinsically improves the spectral quality and biological benefits by increasing the CRI (color rendering index) of R9 red to 97 CRI (average), adding a “99” CRI R15, a trace amount of ultraviolet light and five (5) different wavelengths of essential near-infrared light (NIR).
CRI R9 is a very important metric because many light sources will be lacking in red content, but this fact will be hidden due to the averaging out of CRI calculations which do not include R9.
- NIR and red light helps reduce the risk of retinal-inflammation by priming the cells in the retina for "repair & regeneration."
- NIR is critical to the production of ATP, the fuel cells need for metabolism and all vital functions.
- NIR is essential for the production of "subcellular" (mitochondria) as well as "circulatory" (pineal gland) melatonin.
- NIR is especially beneficial at night to prepare for sleep and a “must” when using computers and other electronic screens.
