The Comfort of Blue
By using BLUEWAVE® light-emitting diodes (LEDs), the goLITE Pro delivers safe and effective wavelengths of light, while eliminating harmful UV and the eyestrain that can be associated with other bright
light treatments.
Safe and Effective
According to independent ocular safety testing, BLUEWAVE light is safe when following the recommended usage guidelines. BLUEWAVE Technology in your goLITE passes ICNRIP/ACGIH threshold value limits at only 15% (light energy exceeding 100% is considered potentially hazardous). The
effec tiveness of the type of light in BLUEWAVE has been researched and advocated by leading medical
universities. For more information, visit www.ApolloHealth.com.

Understanding Light, Health, and Circadian Rhythms
The human body uses light cues, such as those provided by the sun, to time certain internal functions.
Properly timed rhythms regulate mood, sleep, energy, appetite, and digestion. These daily internal cycles,
called circadian rhythms, sometimes fall out of sync, resulting in an unregulated body clock.
Modern Living Has Altered Our Circadian Rhythms
Unfortunately, modern living has dramatically altered nature’s cues. A modern day no longer starts at the
Circadian Rhythms
crack of dawn and ends at 8:00 p.m. Workdays are getting longer and many people face shift work schedules. Additionally, most everyone’s social gatherings and personal activities extend well into the night.
These factors have diminished the body’s natural ability to regulate the body clock.
Circadian Rhythm Imbalance
When our circadian rhythm becomes imbalanced, the body produces the wrong hormones, chemicals,
and neurotransmitters at the wrong time of the day. The results range from feelings of sadness to sleeplessness to loss of appetite.
Effects of an Imbalance in Circadian Rhythm
Many people suffer from a loss of energy and mood that can last for a short period of time to more than a
couple of weeks. For many, these feelings come on stronger in the winter and in darker climates.

An Imbalance in Circadian Rhythm Contributes to the Following:
• Winter blues • Lack of energy (especially in the winter)
• Feelings of sadness • Sleeplessness
• Jet lag • Mood swings
• Lack of concentration • Irritability
• Loss of appetite
Restored Balance with BLUEWAVE Technology
Researchers have discovered that our circadian rhythms respond best to a specific bandwidth of blue light
found in natural sunlight. Apollo Health has isolated this bandwidth in a new technology called BLUEWAVE. BLUEWAVE Technology helps shift circadian rhythms back to their normal pattern by delivering this specifically-engineered light that stimulates the production of key substances triggered by the
brain. BLUEWAVE naturally affects the body by shifting the body clock to its correct timing, causing the
proper signals to be produced at the right time of day.
For nearly 20 years, Apollo Health’s Body Clock System™ has helped hundreds of thousands of people
take control of their body clocks. The goLITE is an important part of this system. For more information
