Chromo

Chromo is a colour clock that helps your body understand what time it is. In addition to providing an ultimately simple indicator for time, Chromo also presents a possible cure for jet-lag, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and other light/time related illnesses. Chromo is used extensively across the Protein site, so the illustrations below should help you to understand which colours represent which time for the Lunar and Daily Chromo™ standards:

Daily Chromo™ (Right Box)

 

Since it was first discovered, we have been researching the effects of Chromo™ in an attempt to provide a fully authoritative document of the effects of Chromo™ on the human body. This research has led to speculation that the Chromo™ could present a possible cure to jet-lag, Seasonal Affective Disorder and other light/time related illnesses.

However, until a large scale feasibility study can be carried out, we have had to rely on clinical evidence from a number of published reports to corroborate the Chromo™ theory. The basis of this research states that certain colours assist in the release of certain natural hormones which, in turn, play a vital role in balancing your daily, monthly [lunar] and annual body clocks. Very simply, there are two dominate hormones released by the body that act in Yin/Yang fashion to create a natural balance, these are:

Serotonin - Your passion, anger, stress hormone.

Melatonin - Your passive, relaxing, sleep hormone.

This simple principle was used to form the basis of the Daily, Lunar and Annual Chromo™ standards, which aim to naturally help the body release the right amount of Serotonin or Melatonin at the right time. If you have a comment about anything you have read here, please get in touch.
