Our statement on the recent negative article
What is Somavedic?
Somavedic is a wellness technology device designed to support wellbeing in indoor environments. Carefully handmade in the Czech Republic under strict EU standards, each Somavedic unit combines traditional glassmaking craftsmanship with modern technology to create a tool focused on environmental harmonization. It is a non-medical device designed to mitigate the effects of electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure, improve sleep quality, and increase vitality.
Somavedic’s Response to Recent External Discussions
At Somavedic Technologies, transparency isn't just a value, it's how we operate. Recently, articles were published raising concerns about the legitimacy and safety of Somavedic devices. We welcome constructive criticism and genuine feedback, but these particular pieces contained misleading claims and unscientific experiments presented as evidence. We believe our customers, and anyone considering Somavedic, deserve a clear, factual response.
Why Somavedic Deserves Your Trust
We stand behind our products with commitments that go beyond industry standards:
- 60-day money-back guarantee (risk-free testing in your own environment).
- 5-year product warranty on LED diodes.
- Manufactured in the EU (Czech Republic) under strict safety regulations.
- Independent 3rd-party laboratory testing, with all results published transparently.
The Origins and Mission of Somavedic
My name is Ivan Rybjansky, and I am the inventor, founder, and long-term innovator behind Somavedic Technologies. The creation of Somavedic didn't begin in a laboratory or as a business concept. It began out of my own personal health crisis with lupus and pancreatic illness, and a determination to find solutions when conventional approaches weren't enough.
After more than four years of intensive experimentation, I assembled the very first Somavedic device on April 1st, 2011. From the very beginning, my mission was clear and simple: to create a tool that could support balance in people's environments and daily lives. My driving thought was this: "If this helps even one single person, then the effort was worth it.".
Over the years, thousands of users have tested Somavedic products themselves, reporting improvements in sleep, energy, and overall vitality. These aren't placebo responses; these are consistent patterns that emerge from real people using Somavedic in their homes and workplaces.
Claim vs. Scientific Reality: The "Peach Experiment"
- The Claim: A recent article presented a "peach experiment"—where a peach slice placed near a Somavedic allegedly deteriorated faster than one placed 150 feet away—as proof that the device is harmful.
- The Scientific Reality: We asked Dr. Patrick Fernandez, a radiation and chemical analysis expert with nearly 35 years of experience, to review this experiment. He identified fundamental scientific flaws:
- Uncontrolled Variables: Fruit deterioration depends on temperature, humidity, and bacteria. A proper experiment isolates one variable, but this experiment controlled nothing.
- No Baseline: The initial condition and ripeness of the peaches were never documented, rendering observed differences meaningless.
- No Quantifiable Measurement: There was no precise or quantifiable method used to assess the "deterioration".
- Zero Reproducibility: The experiment was conducted only once with no repetition or statistical analysis.
- The Conclusion: It is intellectually dishonest to criticize our peer-reviewed laboratory studies (which show improvements in HRV and sleep quality) while presenting a single, uncontrolled fruit observation as legitimate evidence.
Claim vs. Scientific Reality: Uranium Glass Safety
- The Claim: The triuranium octoxide used in Somavedic glass is dangerous and emits harmful radiation.
- The Scientific Reality: Somavedic discontinued models (like the Medic Green Ultra) used Vaseline glass containing only 0.2% triuranium octoxide (U₃O₈) strictly as a coloring agent to achieve its green shade. This represents the lowest end of the uranium content historically used in glassmaking, a safe practice documented for over 160 years.
- Regulatory Approvals:
- Czech Republic: The State Office for Nuclear Safety (SÚJB) strictly regulates and inspects these glass factories, confirming full compliance with safety regulations.
- United States: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission found that annual exposure from owning Vaseline glass is approximately 4 millirems/year—about 1% of average annual human exposure. This exposure is lower than many common household electronics and is not measurable beyond approximately 2 feet.
Our Commitment Moving Forward
Whether you choose Somavedic or not, we hope this statement has provided clarity and factual information to help you navigate the recent controversy. We encourage you to test Somavedic yourself. The 60-day money-back guarantee exists so you can experience it in your own environment. Your body is the best measuring instrument. If it works for you, great; if it doesn't, return it with no questions asked.
With transparency and commitment,
Ivan Rybjanský

FAQ – Somavedic Legitimacy & Safety
Somavedic is a legitimate wellness device manufactured in the EU, supported by independent laboratory studies and backed by a 60-day money-back guarantee and a 5-year warranty on LED diodes.
No. Claims attempting to debunk Somavedic often rely on non-scientific experiments or selective interpretation of data. All Somavedic studies are conducted by independent third-party laboratories.
No. Somavedic used it in the past for its older product Somavedic Medic Green Ultra 0.2% triuranium octoxide in vaseline glass for coloration only. Independent regulatory bodies confirmed radiation exposure is negligible and far below safety limits.
No. Somavedic emits negligible EMFs that are not measurable beyond approximately two feet and does not amplify environmental EMFs.
Yes. Somavedic emits negligible EMFs that are not measurable beyond a short distance. Materials used in the device, including vaseline glass with low triuranium octoxide content, have been reviewed by regulatory authorities and found to be safe.
Many reported effects are supported by objective measurements such as HRV and sleep data. While individual responses vary, placebo alone does not explain consistent physiological changes measured across multiple users.
