UPDATE 4/30/2012 – The gold-plated Magboy is still available. An extremely limited edition of the classic Nikken Magboy – plated in 24k gold. Housed in an elegant black holder that doubles as a carrying case, this signature Nikken magnetic massage tool offers all the benefits of the classic Magboy design. You will have to call me at 770-366-0534 to order yours.
UPDATE 4/30/2012 The Classic Collection Jewelry is available at heavily discounted closeout prices while supplies last. The Classic Collection pieces all include both magnetic and far-infrared technology.
These prices are now available through the online store and are only good while supplies last. Please note that Nikken’s policy on close out prices is that all sales are final and they will not accept any returns on these items.
UPDATE 4/30/2012 – Nikken has discontinued the Kenko Mini and Kenko Super Mini magnets. They are still available for now. Once they are sold out, they will be gone for good. The Mini and Super Mini have been replaced with the new Kenko PowerChip.
- Kenko Mini – Only 16 available in Canada. Sold out in the US.
Need science to believe? The FDA has approved some pulsed-magnetic field devices for medical purposes. The most common are the ones for helping bones to heal. They can only be used for short periods of time because they use electrically generated magnetic fields and may contain the potentially harmful electrical noise component.
The MRI is a more commonly known medical device that uses magnetic fields for diagnostic purposes.
The magnets I am talking about here are all static magnets, so they don’t contain any harmful radiation. How do we know that low gauss static magnets are safe to use? If they weren’t, the human race would have died out long ago. The Earth itself is a low-gauss magnet.
Many Different Types of Static Magnets
Nikken’s magnets have gone through many iterations and come in a variety of formats.
Simple Magnets
The simplest magnetic products are the ones that contain individual magnets. These are the
- Magnetic massage devices – Magboy and MagCreator
- Kenko PowerPatches – small magnets on self-adhesive disks
- Kenkoseat – magnetic chair pad
- PowerBands – Triphase sport bracelets and necklaces
A spinning magnet is much stronger than one that just sits in one place. That is one thing that makes the Magboy and MagCreator so popular.
EQL Magnets
Nikken wanted to find the best pattern to pack a large number of magnets into a small form to get the best magnetic coverage and benefit. They determined that an equilateral triangle was that best pattern. EQL for EQuiLateral triangle.
This includes the:
- Magnetic insoles – Magsteps and Magstrides
- KenkoFlex – large magnetic patch for the low back
Biaxial Magnets
If a spinning magnet is more powerful than a stationary magnet, then how about if you spin it on two axes?
That’s what the Biaxial magnets are, a static magnetic sphere mounted in such a way that it spins on 2 axes to create a large, constantly changing, 3-dimensional magnetic field.
The Biaxial PowerMag is a battery-operated hand-held Biaxial magnetic device.
Many people have received very significant benefits from the Biaxial PowerMag. My understanding is that it will probably be discontinued and sell out before the end of the year.
DynaFlux Magnetic Technology
Nikken has a brand new magnetic technology that has replaced the EQL magnetic technology that was in the Kenko Mini and Super Mini. They found that by layering magnets with the poles in opposition (like pole facing like pole) they get an intensified magnetic field that extends much farther from the surface.
DynaFlux magnetic technology is currently available in the Kenko PowerChip.
I am hearing from people who are having good results using the PowerChips on their knees and hips where the discomfort lies deep.
Nikken has a new magnetic technology brochure. Check it out.

I bought some of your products including the Kenkopad Twin and Kenkoseat in 1999 for my husband who has MS. We bought it from a cousin in LA who was an agent. He unfortunately felt too nauseas when he used the products and we stopped them.I wanted to know if they are still okay to use 11 years later as someone is interested in them???The mattress cover is in a box and the seat cover has been kept in a cupboard.Thanks Claudia
Absolutely they should still be good after 11 years. I plan to keep using mine in 11 years, or at least until they fall apart.
Hi, Could you tell me if a nikken kenko infrared comforter could cause any damage to my laptop while using it on a tray on my lap while using the comforter too?
Thank You,
Pam
I can tell you that my wife and I have never had any issues in the past 5 years doing the same thing that you are asking about.
please let me know if my back support from Nikken may affect my future pacemaker.
URGENT
Teresa,
Any magnet can affect an implanted device such as a pacemaker. My recommendation is that if you have an implanted device you check with your doctor first before using any of Nikken’s magnetic products.
