MitoMIND Helmet review
This is a transcranial device at 810nm, not a hair growth cap, despite the helmet form factor. Mito is unusually honest about its output, publishing the deflating spectroradiometer number next to the flattering one.

Conflicting information
Warranty conflicts on Mito's own page: the badge row under the price says 3 years, the FAQ says 1 year. We record the FAQ figure. Verify before buying.
What we like
- Publishes solar-meter and spectroradiometer figures side by side
- Separates rated diode power (200mW) from actual working power (50mW)
- Six frequency presets plus a fully custom mode
What to know
- Class II registered, which is a listing formality and not clearance
- The page claims a 3 year warranty in the badge row and a 1 year warranty in the FAQ
- Currently sold out
