POWERSTRIPS are a Class 1 Medical Device approved by the FDA to provide temporary relief from minor pain. They contain germanium particles that disperse thermal energy into different wavelengths, increasing blood flow and releasing endorphins when used regularly over time. This improved circulation provides nutrients to tissues and clears waste, helping to relieve pain and giving skin a more healthy appearance by reducing inflammation and fine lines. POWERSTRIPS have the potential to positively impact billions of people globally by providing pain relief and better skin health.

Class 1 Medical Device with the FDA

4. POWERSTRIPS™
Consequences of listing with FDA
Allows us to make certain claims:
POWERSTRIPS™ provide temporary relief
of minor pain*.
* it should be assumed that whenever the word pain is used in this presentation that it is in the
context described above.

5. POWERSTRIPS™
Heat and Pain
POWERSTRIPSTM are designed to be gentle
to the skin.
Intended for regular daily use over time.
Non-toxic and designed with the health of the
user & the environment in mind.

6. POWERSTRIPS™
Germanium Heat-Pain Model
• Naturally occurring germanium
(Ge) particles are distributed
evenly throughout the the
PowerStripsTM
• Germanium has optical
properties that effect

7. Understanding Germanium and Thermal Energy
Glass Prism & Visual Light Model
• Glass is transparent to visual light
• As visual light passes through a glass
prism, light:
– Is refracted or bent
– Is dispersed into different wavelengths
or colors with different spectral energies
• Notice in the box how infrared has different
wavelengths

Thermal Energy, Heat and the Body
• Constant thermal energy
interacting with PowerStrips used
regularly increases heat levels
and concentration
• Published peer-reviewed research on
the interaction of deep heat and the
body gives insight and understanding
to this concept

10. Heat in deep tissues: reported
immediate effects
Normal Dilated
• As heat interacts with
tissues vessels dilate
• Dilated vessels carry
increased blood, oxygen
and nutrition to cells

11. Infrared Images Before and After application of
PowerStrips to posterior thighs
• Low heat signature
• Then increased heat
signature
• Represents dilated vessels
carrying increased blood
volume with more oxygen
and nutrients

12. How does heat relieve pain?
• Interrelated biochemical and nervous pathways
• Results in vessel dilation and increase in blood
flow
• Enhances the release of prostaglandins and
histamines which enhances dilation
• Endorphin levels increase leading to pain relief
(runner’s high)

13. How does heat relieve pain? (continued)
• Local vessel dilation can extend to involve the
entire body eventually when PowerStrips are used
regularly, over time
• Cells that carry pain signals have decreased signal
conduction
• Elevated cellular metabolic rate
• More efficient clearing of metabolic wastes via
dilated veins.

14. How does heat relieve pain?
(continued)
• Heat results in elevated levels of NITRIC OXIDE.
• NITRIC OXIDE plays a role in pain relief and has
many additional effects on the human body.
• While I can not discuss these, I recommend that
you read carefully and extensively on NITRIC
OXIDE.

15. Impact of Pain on Individuals & Society
-Effects more than Diabetes, Cancer and Heart Disease combined
-53% reported pain in the previous two weeks
-1 in 3 experience lasting pain
-Costs $600 Billion annually to the U.S. economy
-Costs $300 Billion annually in Healthcare services
-Spend more than $2 Billion on non-prescription products annually
-World Wide 1.5 Billion suffer with Pain Daily
-The One factor that impacts every disease, illness, trauma is PAIN!

26. Impact of PowerStrips on Global Community
When we consider what we have just seen in these
images, and begin to calculate the number of lives
that can be impacted globally, it becomes clear that
we have the ability to meaningfully and positively
touch the lives of the entire adult global
community… more than 2.5 billion human beings!
This must be the goal of the FGXpress Family.
