Lately, I've been seeing alot of active wearers of titanium bracelet and necklace, even wrist and ankle support.

Are there any scientific basis on these? They appear to be originate from Japan and have rather exaggerated claims ranging from fatigue reduction, general wellbeing, sports performance enhancement and even reduction of pain. I am incline to disassociate myself from marketing hype but I've heard nothing but good things from many personal friends and associates. My mentor who I golf with suffered from carpal tunnel and various joint pains and he seems to play a better game nowadays after wearing those titanium wrist supports costing upward of $200.

Could it all be placebo effect?
