What is a stem
cell?
A stem cell is a
cell that has the ability to duplicate itself
endlessly and to become cells of virtually any
organ and tissue of the body. Embryonic stem
cells are cells extracted from the blastula, the
very early embryo, that have an exceptional
ability to duplicate in vitro, that is in a test
tube, and to become cells of almost any tissue.
Adult stem cells are cells found in an organism
after birth. Until very recently, the

capability
of adult stem cells have been historically
believed to be limited to becoming blood cells,
bone and connective tissue. But recent
development over the past 5 years have revealed
that adult stem cells have capabilities similar
to embryonic stem cells.
Stem cells can be thought of as “master”
cells. You’ve probably heard about the
controversy of embryonic stem cells in the
news. Stem cells are found in human embryos,
but are also found in adult tissue.
Adult stem cells are most abundantly found in
bone marrow. Stem cells circulate and
function to replace dysfunctional cells, thus
fulfilling the natural process of maintaining
optimal health. StemEnhance supports the
release of adult stem cells from bone marrow
into circulation.
The recent advances in stem cell research were
listed as one of the most significant
health-related stories in the past 25 years by
CNN, second only to the complete mapping of
the human genome.
The Stem Cell
Theory of Renewal proposes that stem cells are
naturally released by the bone marrow and travel
via the bloodstream toward cells in need. When
an organ is subjected to a challenge, this organ
releases compounds that trigger the release of
stem cells from the bone marrow. The organ also
releases compound that attracts stem cells to
this organ. The released stem cells then follow
the concentration gradient of these compounds
and leave to blood circulation to migrate in the
organ where they proliferate and differentiate
into cells of this organ.
The first human
embryonic stem cells were grown in vitro, in a
petri dish, in the mid 1990s. Rapidly,
scientists were successful at growing them for
many generations and to trigger their
differentiation into virtually any kind of
cells, i.e. brain cells, heart cells, liver
cells, bone cells, pancreatic cells, etc. When
scientists tried growing adult stem cells, the
endeavor was met with less success, as adult
stem cells were difficult to grow in vitro for
more than a few generations. This led to the
idea that embryonic stem cells have more
potential than adult stem cells. In addition,
the ethical concerns linked to the use of
embryonic stem cells has led to a disproportion
representation of embryonic stem cells in the
media.
But recent
developments over the past 2-3 years have
established that adult stem cells have
capabilities comparable to embryonic stem cells
in the human body, not in the test tube. Many
studies have shown that simply releasing stem
cell from the bone marrow can lead to optimal
health.
StemEnhance is a breakthrough, natural
botanical extract that supports wellness by
helping your body maintain healthy stem cell
physiology. It is the very first product on
the market from the latest phytoceutical
product category called “stem cell enhancers”.
Recent scientific developments have revealed
that stem cells derived from the bone marrow,
travel throughout the body, and act to support
optimal organ and tissue function. Stem cell
enhancers are products that support the
natural role of adult stem cells.
As you age, the number and quality of stem
cells that circulate in your body gradually
decrease, leaving your body more susceptible
to injury and other age-related health
challenges.
Just as antioxidants are important to protect
your cells from “free radical” damage, stem
cell enhancers are equally important to
support your stem cells in maintaining proper
organ and tissue functioning in your body.
When you take two capsules, the ingredients
help to support the release of stem cells from
the bone marrow into the bloodstream. Through
a natural process, those stem cells then
travel to areas of the body where they are
most needed.
There are
sixty capsules per bottle.
One bottle
of StemEnhance is a one month supply if you
take one capsule in the morning and one at
night; it's a two week supply if you take
two capsules in the morning and two at night
(recommended).
What
is the effect of StemEnhance?
StemEnhance™ is
a blend of two compounds extracted from the
aquatic botanical Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA).
One extract, which contains an L-selectin ligand,
supports the release of stem cells (CD34+ cells)
from the bone marrow. The other extract, a
polysaccharide-rich fraction named Migratose™,
may support the migration of stem cells out of
the blood into tissues.
The effect of
StemEnhance™ on stem cells was tested in a
triple-blind study. In brief, volunteers rested
for one hour before the first blood sample,
which established the baseline level in the
number of circulating stem cells. After the
first blood samples, volunteers were given
StemEnhance™ or placebo. Thereafter, blood
samples were taken at 30, 60 and 120 minutes
after taking the consumables. The number of
circulating stem cells was quantified by
analyzing the blood samples using
Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting (FACS).
Consumption of StemEnhance™ triggered a
significant 25% increase in the number of
circulating stem cells.
One gram of
StemEnhance™ triggers a significant 25-35%
increase in the number of circulating stem
cells. The effect lasts for a few hours. The
recommended dosage is therefore 2 capsules once
or twice day, at least 6 hours apart.
No, StemEnhance™
will not deplete the bone marrow. The bone
marrow constantly produces stem cells for the
entire life of an individual. Stem cells
released by the bone marrow are responsible for
the constant renewal of red blood cells and
lymphocytes (immune cells).
A 25-30%
increase in the number of circulating stem cells
is well within physiological range and does not
constitute stress on the bona marrow
environment.
The amount of
active bone marrow amounts to about 2,600 g (5.7
lbs), with about 1.3 trillion marrow cells. A
25-30% increase in the number of circulating
stem cells triggered by the consumption of 1
gram of StemEnhance™ corresponds to
approximately 3 million cells, which is 0.0003%
of the stem cells present in the bone marrow.
Stem cells
released from the bone marrow that do not reach
a tissue simply home back to the bone marrow
after some time.
As far as we
have studied and researched, the only possible
interaction is with antidepressant medications,
as StemEnhance contains phenylethylamine (PEA),
a compound naturally produced by the brain that
affect dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain.
PEA is known for its effect on mood elevation
and mental energy. Intereactions with
antidepressant medications have not been
reported, but the possibility exists. People
should consult their doctor before taking
StemEnhance if they are on antidepressant
medication.
Only embryonic
stem cells have been associated with the
development of aberrant growth. Stem cells
present in specialized tissues such as the
intestinal mucosa may also play a role in the
development of aberrant growth. But stem cells
released from the bone have not been associated
with such problems.
One gram of
StemEnhance contains roughly half of the
recommended daily allowance in vitamin K.
Vitamin K is an essential nutrient playing an
important role in the process of blood
coagulation. However, when one experiences
cardiovascular problems, oftentimes doctors
will elect to put a one of anticoagulant
therapy in order to prevent blood clot and
make it easier for the heart to pump blood
through the body. Since vitamin K promotes
blood coagulation, it is customary to tell
people to avoid vitamin K while being on
anticoagulant therapy. This being said, it is
not so much the presence of vitamin K in the
diet as much as the consistency in the daily
intake. Therefore, the best approach is to
discuss with your doctor about your desire to
take StemEnhance, that it contains vitamin K,
and the anticoagulant prescription can be
adjusted through careful monitoring of your
condition by your doctor.
