Technology
BEST is a very specific form of electrotherapy, delivering extremely small amounts of current to the body (less than 1 milliAmpere, 100 times less than a typical TENS machine). It mimics what happens inside our cells, and as such restores the physiological balance.
Some of the relevant documented physiological effects include:
- An increase in ATP, the energy molecule used for all cellular activities
Independent studies have shown BEST can increase ATP production by up to 500%.
- ATP produced in mitochondria
- Driven by proton gradient
- Water exists as equilibrium
H2O = OH- + H+
- LOW current enances proton
(H+) supply

- Enhanced transmembrane transport
Examples are :
- amino acids, the building blocks of all proteins.
- proline, a precursor to hydroxyproline, (used to produce collagen, the connective tissue in tendons, ligaments, etc).
- calcium, though the opening of voltage-sensitive calcium channels in membranes. One of the effects of this increase in Ca++ is an increase in insulin receptors, needed for both protein and DNA synthesis.
BEST is a very safe therapy, with no known side effects. For example, KFH Energy delivers around 20 times less current than the threshold needed to induce skin damage.
