What is this, and is it for me?
The red pin wire is the piece that connects a GKIT to your house ground. It replaced the old molded plug because people kept assuming a plug carried power. It does not. One pin, one hole, nothing else.
- GKIT owners whose lead has a nicked jacket, a loose pin, or a connector that no longer snaps
- Anyone running a second setup in another room without buying a whole second kit
- People who travel with their kit and want a spare that stays home
- Test the outlet with a plug-in ground checker before the first use. In an older house, have an electrician confirm it.
- The GKIT comes with a red wire. It used to be a plug, as seen in the video, but because everyone thought the plug had power to it, I did away with the plug and went with the red pin wire only, for the bottom hole of your wall socket only.
- From that red wire, there is a long black cord going to a Y-Connector; this connector will attach to both sides of either your Copper Waist Belt or your Copper Anklet/Bracelet. Route the cord where it will not be walked on, pinched under a bed frame, or pulled taut.
- Most use the copper waist belt when sleeping, and you can also use it around your neck during the day only - bed time would be dangerous. The anklet/bracelet can also be used at night to spot target specific areas, or if the belt is too difficult for you at first.
- Sometimes it takes getting used to and other times you're a breastfeeding Mom and the tossing and turning needs another option.
- Regardless of what you choose, simply ensure the wires are set up how I said here and the copper is touching your skin and you'll be feeling the benefits of grounding. There's never too much grounding, and there's never a time you wouldn't want to be doing it.
- To ensure your kit lasts the longest, run your fingers on either side of the waist belt or anklet between uses: simply pinch your fingers on both sides and pull the copper waist or anklet/bracelet through your fingers to smooth it out. This will prevent burrs and spikey strands of copper from building up. Do this and place your copper somewhere it won't get smashed between uses, and you should get 2-3 years out of each copper waist/anklet.
- What grounding is used for. Grounding has been shown to support cortisol, boost energy, change your body composition through lowering body fat, supports inflammation and pain, supports healthy sleep patterns by balancing the body's cortisol levels and much much more!
- The one connection everything else hangs on. Belt, band and Y-connector do nothing if this lead is damaged or the outlet behind it is not really grounded.
- Nothing powered. This product does not use electricity, and we use the smallest fuse we could find to ensure that no electricity is sent through the kit into your body. The pin touches only the receptacle's grounding conductor - nothing in the hot or neutral slots.
- A pin, not a plug, on purpose. The old molded plug looked like it drew power and buyers worried. The bare pin makes the design legible: only the round ground hole is used.
- One connection, and it has to be real. The whole kit depends on the outlet's ground actually reaching a ground rod. Test it with a plug-in checker before the first night, and have an electrician confirm it in an older house.
- Replace, don't repair. A nicked jacket, a loose pin or a connector that no longer snaps is a new lead, not a splice.
- The research behind it. Published earthing research has measured overnight cortisol rhythm, sleep, pain, mood, blood viscosity and inflammation markers. It supports the body's normal overnight cortisol rhythm, a calmer mood during rest, and normal blood flow. All four trials are in the research drop-down with what each one measured.

What you're getting
The red pin wire replacement. Pairs with your existing copper band and Y-connector.
| Part | What it does |
|---|---|
| Red pin wire | A single pin that seats in the lower round grounding hole of a properly wired outlet. Nothing goes in the flat hot or neutral slots. |
The Standard and Deluxe kits include this lead plus the copper.

Sourcing & making
This product does not use electricity, and we use the smallest fuse we could find to ensure that no electricity is sent through the kit into your body. The red pin wire replaced an earlier molded plug because customers kept assuming a plug carried power; the bare pin makes it obvious that only the ground contact is used. It is sold on its own, so a nicked jacket or a loose pin does not cost you a whole kit.
Who it's for
- GKIT owners whose lead has a nicked jacket, a loose pin, or a connector that no longer snaps
- Anyone running a second setup in another room without buying a whole second kit
- People who travel with their kit and want a spare that stays home
The research behind the ingredients
Published research on the ingredients in this product, for education. These studies were not conducted on this product.
Red pin ground wire providing the earth connection for the grounding kit (earthing)
Grounding randomized trial in massage therapists, 2019
Explore (New York, N.Y.) · 2019 · RCT · n=16
In a 6-week double-blind, stepped-wedge randomized controlled trial of 16 massage therapists, weeks spent grounded while working and while sleeping produced significant increases in physical function and energy and significant decreases in fatigue, tiredness, pain and depressed mood compared with ungrounded weeks.
Red pin ground wire providing the earth connection for the grounding kit (earthing)
The Effect of Grounding the Human Body on Mood
Psychological Reports · 2015 · RCT · n=40
In a double-blind sham-controlled pilot of 40 adults grounded or sham-grounded for one hour while relaxing in a recliner, pleasant and positive mood scores on the Brief Mood Introspection Scale improved significantly in the grounded group but not in the sham group.
Red pin ground wire providing the earth connection for the grounding kit (earthing)
Overnight grounding and cortisol pilot, 2004
The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine · 2004 · uncontrolled single-arm pilot trial (no sham group; outcomes partly self-reported) · n=12
In an uncontrolled 8-week pilot of 12 adults reporting sleep trouble, pain and stress who slept on a conductive grounding pad, night-time salivary cortisol was significantly reduced and 24-hour cortisol profiles trended toward a normal circadian pattern, with self-reported sleep, pain and stress improving in nearly all subjects.
Red pin ground wire providing the earth connection for the grounding kit (earthing)
Grounding and blood viscosity pilot, 2013
The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine · 2013 · pre/post pilot study (no sham group) · n=10
In a pilot study of 10 healthy adults grounded for two hours while seated, red blood cell zeta potential - the electrostatic repulsion that keeps red cells from clumping together - rose 2.7-fold, from an average of -5.28 mV to -14.3 mV (p = 0.00036), and average red-cell cluster size fell from 34.7 cells to 15.0 cells, indicating lower blood viscosity after grounding.
Evidence note: What has been published on grounding is early-stage and small. The trials collected here run from 10 to 40 people, the strongest is a 16-person double-blind randomized controlled trial, and several outcomes are self-reported; larger and longer trials are the next step. Readers should also know that Gaetan Chevalier, an author on three of these papers, discloses in the related 2015 Journal of Inflammation Research grounding paper that he is a paid contractor for and shareholder in EarthFx Inc., which sponsors earthing research.
FAQ
How do I know my outlet is actually grounded?
Test it with a plug-in outlet checker before the first use, and have an electrician confirm it in an older house. A three-slot outlet can look grounded with no ground path behind it, and common three-light testers cannot catch a reverse-polarity bootleg ground.
Is there electricity running into me?
No. This product does not use electricity, and we use the smallest fuse we could find to ensure that no electricity is sent through the kit into your body. The pin contacts only the receptacle's grounding conductor, never the hot or neutral slots. That is exactly why the outlet's ground has to be verified first.
Can I use it during a thunderstorm?
Although the kit should be safe during lightning strikes, I personally do not use it during electrical storms. Unplug the pin wire and take the band off if one is coming through.
Is this the whole kit?
This listing is the red pin wire replacement. The copper belt, the ankle band and the Y-connector are sold separately. Starting from nothing? Buy the Standard or Deluxe kit.
What do people notice?
The feedback we get on this product is amazing. People rave about sleep and pain the most, but we get everything from body fat to energy to libido in our feedback from clients. Please let us know what it does for you!
