We Collaborate
George and Ermis Psipsikas are visionaries. As young athletes, raised in Greece, they strove to be the best they could be, to do the right thing—to eat right, to play fair, to excel, to thrive. “We always had a passion for health and wellness,” George explains in earnest. “It started like a hobby. Our initial goal was to improve athletic performance in a natural way. The fastest way is to improve blood flow. The only way to do that naturally is massage and far infrared. First NASA, and then the medical world got on board. There was nothing in apparel yet. This is where this started. A natural way to use your body’s energy and turn it into far infrared.” Working with scientists, mainly in Italy and France, they worked for 2 years to find the best blend of minerals. The first product was a tshirt to increase athletic performance. Pro athletes and the first pro football team in Greece picked it up. From tennis to basketball, Nanobionic became the official sponsors of many teams in Europe as well as Russia. George explains, “That gave us the capital to fund scientific studies to prove benefits. Now many studies have been published. Nanobionic increases athletic performance. The stimulation of blood flow also has been proven to improve sleep, reduce free radicals and increase circulation for Raynaud’s syndrome.”
