Meet the Device That Claims to “Recharge” Your Cells

You Should Know: We charge our phones, our computers, and now, there’s a device that claims to work as a “human recharging station.” Wellness spas across LA can’t stop talking about the BioCharger, ever since Kourtney Kardashian gave Khloé one for Christmas. It’s a mix of coils that pulse light and electromagnetic energy, with glass tubes that glow as the frequencies kick in. Clients sit in front of it for 10 to 60 minutes — but does it actually do anything for your body? 

Going Deeper: The company says the combination recharges your cells and resets them back into balance. But no independent studies have tested that, so experts maintain there’s no evidence the BioCharger actually works. However, the idea that sickness comes from cells losing their charge, and that the right frequencies can fix it, echoes the same premise behind other frequency gadgets already on the market.

The Takeaway: None of that means the device is necessarily a scam. Sitting still for an hour instead of scrolling your phone can feel calming no matter what’s powering it.

Bottom Line: Whether the BioCharger is rewiring your cells is still an unanswered question, and right now nobody outside the company selling the machine has answered it.
