Photobiomodulation Strengthens Muscles via Its Dual Functions in Gut Microbiota
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Non‐invasive photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) enhances muscle endurance by rewiring the gut‐muscle axis. PBMT preserves gut epithelial integrity and enriches beneficial anaerobes, driving metabolites such as butyrate, spermidine, and L‐carnitine that supercharge mitochondrial energy in skeletal muscles.
