SOLSHINE: While too much indoor limited-spectrum light can disrupt our health, natural full-spectrum light supports mood, immunity, and the circadian rhythm. Unlike common SAD lights and conventional full-spectrum lights, SolShine's light systems include the ‘fullest’ spectrum visible, as well as essential, invisible near infrared light (NIR) and trace ultra violet (UV) light. Use these devices to fix your circadian rhythm and properly stimulate your brain's SCN, in a manner like that of the natural spectral diet that’s essential for optimum metabolic function! Get 10% off with the code MELANIEAVALON at melanieavalon.com/solshine.
