microcurrent-induced shear stress prompts red blood cells to release ATP, widening small blood vessels
Red blood cells release ATP in response to shear stress, and this ATP contributes to flow-dependent vasodilation in the microcirculation.
What this means for you
When red blood cells release ATP in response to movement and pressure, tiny blood vessels naturally widen to improve local circulation. Better microcirculation means more oxygen and nutrients reach tissues — something many people notice as improved warmth, faster recovery, and a general sense of vitality in the areas supported.
