of the cells in the human body are
specialists assigned to a specific organ
or type of tissue, such as the neuronal
cells that wire the brain and central
nervous system. Stem cells are
different. When they divide, they can
produce either more stem cells, or they
can serve as progenitors that
differentiate into specialized cells as
they mature. Hence the name, because
specialist cells can "stem"
from them. The potential to
differentiate into specialist cells
whose populations in the body have
become critically depleted as the result
of illness or injury is what makes stem
cells so potentially valuable to medical
research.
The idea is that if the
fate of a batch of stem cells could be
directed down specific pathways, they
could be grown, harvested, and then
transplanted into a problem area. If all
went according to plan, these new cells
would overcome damaged or diseased
cells, leading to healing and recovery.
"The life of a stem cell can be
viewed as a hierarchical branching
process, where the cell is faced with a
series of fate switches," Schaffer
says. "Our goal is to identify the
cell fate switches, and then provide
stem cells with the proper signals to
guide them down a particular
developmental trajectory."
Stem
cells have the remarkable potential to
develop into many different cell types in
the body. Serving as a sort of repair
system for the body, they can
theoretically divide without limit to
replenish other cells as long as the
person or animal is still alive. When a
stem cell divides, each new cell has the
potential to either remain a stem cell or
become another type of cell with a more
specialized function, such as a muscle
cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell.
When
a stem cell divides, each new cell has the
potential to either remain a stem cell or
become another type of cell with a more
specialised function. Scientists believe
it should be possible to harness this
ability to turn stem cells into a super
"repair kit" for the body.
Theoretically, it should be possible to
use stem cells to generate healthy tissue
to replace that either damaged by trauma,
or compromised by disease. Among the
conditions which scientists believe may
eventually be treated by stem cell therapy
are Parkinson's disease, heart
disease, stroke, arthritis, diabetes,
burns and spinal cord damage.
 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.
A group,
led by Paul Frenette, Associate Professor
of Medicine at Mount Sinai School of
Medicine, found that the sympathetic—or
“fight or flight” branch—of the
nervous system plays a critical role in
coaxing bone marrow stem cells into the
bloodstream. Bone marrow cells known as
hematopoietic stem cells are the source
for blood and immune cells. In normal
individuals, the continuous trafficking of
the stem cells between the bone marrow and
blood fills empty or damaged niches and
contributes to the maintenance of normal
blood cell formation, according to the
researchers.
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.
This
product is a blend of two compounds
extracted from the aquatic botanical Aphanizonmenon flos
aquae. 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 Stem Cell Nutrients 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
Stem-Enhance 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 Stem-Enhance
triggered a significant 25% increase in
the number of circulating stem cells. One
gram of Stem Cell Nutrients 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.

The release
of stem cells from the bone marrow and
their migration to tissues is a natural
process that happens everyday. Stem cell
nutrition simply supports that natural
process and tips the balance toward health
everyday. This nutrient does not
do anything that the body does not already
do everyday. So far, no instances of any
similar problem have ever been observed
when using in vivo natural release of stem
cells from the bone marrow.
Each day,
stem cells in the bone marrow evolve to
produce red blood cells, white blood
cells, and platelets. These mature cells
are then released into the bloodstream
where they perform their vital
life-supporting functions. When bone
marrow stem cell activity is interfered
with, diseases such as anemia (red blood
cell deficit), neutropenia (specialized
white blood cell deficit), or
thrombocytopenia (platelet deficit) are
often diagnosed. Any one of these
conditions can cause death if not
corrected.
Scientists
have long known that folic acid, vitamin
B12, and iron are required for bone marrow
stem cells to differentiate into mature
red blood cells.3-7 Vitamin D has been
shown to be crucial in the formation of
immune cells,8-11 whereas carnosine has
demonstrated a remarkable ability to
rejuvenate cells approaching senescence
and extend cellular life span.12-28
Other
studies of foods such as blueberries show
this fruit can prevent and even reverse
cell functions that decline as a result of
normal aging.29-36 Blueberry extract has
been shown to increase neurogenesis in the
aged rat brain.37,38 Green tea compounds
have been shown to inhibit the growth of
tumor cells, while possibly providing
protection against normal cellular
aging.39,40
Based on
these findings, scientists are now
speculating that certain nutrients could
play important roles in maintaining the
healthy renewal of replacement stem cells
in the brain, blood, and other tissues. It
may be possible, according to these
scientists, to use certain nutrient
combinations in the treatment of
conditions that warrant stem cell
replacement
These
studies demonstrate for the first time
that various natural compounds can promote
the proliferation of human bone marrow
cells and human stem cells. While these
studies were done in vitro, they provide
evidence that readily available nutrients
may confer a protective effect against
today’s epidemic of age-related bone
marrow degeneration.
Greater
number of circulating stem cells equate to
optimal health
Stem cell
nutrients are naturally
derived from nutritional food supplement,
(aquatic botanical extract) which
supports wellness by assisting the body in
its ability to maintain healthy stem cell
physiology, production, and placement.
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.
Stem cell nutrients 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”.

 Essentials
of Stem Cell Biology
The Proteus
Effect: Stem Cells and Their Promise for
Medicine Arguably the most exciting,
promising and controversial medical
research being performed today explores
the potential of stem cells, unique cells
that, when dividing, can produce either
more cells like themselves or other
specialized cells, such as heart cells,
skin cells and neurons. Stem cells
research is bringing the promise of
regenerative medicine and miracle cures
for such conditions as multiple sclerosis,
blindness, heart damage and male pattern
baldness. Blood Stem cells: 25 Trillion
blood cells exist in the blood and every
second 2 million blood cells die and are
replaced. Researcher found that mice
with defective bone marrow (damaged by
radiation) could be restored by translates
of marrow stem cells injected directly in
the blood. The bone marrow transplant in
essence restored the bone marrow stem
cells to functional and normal status.
Stem Cell
Research is aimed at the potential that
certain types of cells, called stem cells,
have for regenerating damaged tissue in
the body. A stem cell is capable of
developing into other types of cells, like
liver cells, heart cells, etc. Current
medical research is focused on two
particular types of stem cells, embryonic
stem cells and adult stem cells. Of the
three types of stem cells, two are able to
develop into any type of cell within the
human body. These two are called
totipotent and pluripotent. The third type
of stem cell is more limited in it's
potential and can only develop into a
small number of other types of 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, umbilical cords (mothers can
donate their cords for this purpose) 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.
Blue-Green
Algae is an extremely effective
detoxifier, and a few annoying cleansing
symptoms (such as: minor headaches, body
aches, or digestive disorders) may appear
in the beginning.
Algae are
non-flowering water plants that grow in
almost every drop of sunlit water and
every gram of soil, on the barks of trees
and the surfaces of rocks. It is estimated
that there are as many as 50,000 species;
these include seaweeds and plankton.
Collectively, algae is responsible for 90%
of the Earth's oxygen and 80% of its food
supply.
The health
benefits of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae
have been reported for more than two
decades, yet it is only recently that
science has revealed the mechanisms by
which AFA acts on the body, and the
astonishing health benefits of AFA.
Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae contains a wide
variety of phytonutrients that promote
health, such as chlorophyll, carotenoids
and polyunsaturated fatty acids. AFA
contains unique molecules that modulate
various aspects of human health such as:
Phenylethylamine (PEA) known as the
"molecule of love." Beside
enhancing concentration and attention, PEA
is a natural mood elevator and
anti-depressant. But the most
extraordinary discovery is the ability of
AFA to stimulate stem cell release and
migration, making AFA the first natural
compound known to stimulate the natural
innate phenomenon of healing, regeneration
and repair in the human body.
