supports the body’s self-repair

In my humble opinion:

Stem - Plex is a nutritional supplement that supports the body’s self-repair mechanisms through the care of existing, and the proliferation of new, adult stem cells up to a 70% increase.

Modern science has proven that stem cells are essentially the building blocks of our body. Additionally, science has shown that adult stem cells are found in most organs, tissue, and especially bone marrow. These cells are pre-programmed to migrate toward problem areas within the body and begin a repair process. However, as our bodies age, adult stem cell production and efficacy lessen, and we in turn become more prone to illness or injury, which is commonly referred to as aging!

St em-Plex utilizes a specific combination of all-natural ingredients that are commonly taken by health-conscious individuals today. It is the patent-pending formulation of these ingredients that make Ste m-Plex unique. The ingredients in Stem-P lex work synergistically to positively impact the body’s stem cell nutrition. First, Stem-Pl ex encourages the proliferation of new adult stem cells. Stem cells are often referred to a “blank cells,” meaning that they begin to work on the problem areas of the body that often arise as we age. Second, the combination of all-natural ingredients along with antioxidants in Stem-Ple x work together to protect the body’s existing stem cells from the often harmful effects of free radicals.

Kay’s story:

For the past 50 years I have worn prescription glasses. In January 2007, I started taking Stem Cell Nutrition daily. In April 2007, I had my vision tested, as my glasses were no longer helping me to see. To my surprise my vision is now 20/20 in one eye and 20/16 in the other. That $800. I would have spent on new glasses can now be spent on Stem Cell Nutrition.

Research funds moving from embryonic stemcells to adult alternatives

Research funds are moving fast from embryonic stem cells to adult alternatives.

Harvard Medical School is another center of astonishing progress in adult stem cells. Trials have shown partially restored sight in animals with retinal damage. Clinical trials are expected within five years, using adult stem cells as a treatment to cure blindness caused by macular degeneration - old-age blindness and the commonest cause of sight-loss in America. Within 10 years it is hoped that people will be able to be treated routinely with their own stem cells in a clinic using a two-hour process.

Do stem cells really repair tissue?

For several years there has been a curious and very confusing debate in editorials of publications like the New England Journal of Medicine about whether adult stem cells actually regenerate tissue or not.

The debate centers on technical questions and semantics, rather than the reality of results. Take for example heart repair. We know that bone marrow cells can land up in damaged heart and when present, the heart is repaired. It is hard to be certain what proportion of this remarkable process is due to stimulants released locally by bone marrow cells, or by the bone marrow cells actually differentiating into heart tissue.

It remains a confusing picture, not least because in the lab, cells seem to change character profoundly, but in clinical trials it appears the effects of many stem cells are stimulatory. But who cares? As a clinician I am delighted if injecting your bone marrow cells into your back means that you are walking around 3 months after a terrible injury to your spine instead of being in a wheelchair for the rest of your life. I am not so concerned with exactly how it all works, and nor will you be.

The future of stem cells

In summary, expect rapid progress in adult stem cells and slower, less intense work with embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cell technology is already looking rather last-century, along with therapeutic cloning. History will show that by 2020 we were already able to produce a wide range of tissues using adult stem cells, with spectacular progress in tissue building and repair. In some cases these stem cells will be actually incorporated into the new repairs as differentiated cells, in other cases, they will be temporary assistants in local repair processes.

We will also see some exciting new pharmaceutical products in the pipeline, which promise to do some of the same tricks without having to remove a single stem cell from the body. These drugs may for example activate bone marrow cells and encourage them to migrate to parts of the body where repairs are needed…

Stem Cell Therapies

Saneron is a biotechnology R&D company, focused on neurological and cardiac cell therapy for the early intervention and treatment of several devastating or deadly diseases, which lack adequate treatment options. Saneron, a University of South Florida spin-out company is located at the Tampa Bay Technology Incubator. An affiliate of Cryo-Cell International, Inc. Saneron is committed to providing readily available, non-controversial, ethically acceptable cells, both stem cells and other cell types, for cellular therapies. Saneron has patented and patent-pending technology relating to our platform technology of:

• U-CORD-CELL^TM - Umbilical cord blood
  
• SERT-CELL^TM - Sertoli cells

NutraStem® Science "Based on Science not Science Fiction"

NutraStem® - Science According to the U.S. National Institutes of Health, "an adult stem cell is an undifferentiated cell found among differentiated cells in a tissue or organ, can renew itself, and can differentiate to yield the major specialized cell types of the tissue or organ. The primary roles of adult stem cells in a living organism are to maintain and repair the tissue in which they are found."

As we age, the number of adult stem cells within the body begins to decline and lose their ability to function normally, which is very important to maintaining a healthy immune system.

NutraStem® has been specifically formulated from natural compounds that promote the health and normal division (proliferation) of human adult stem cells.

In research that was published in a peer-reviewed journal article we examined the effects of several natural compounds that have been shown to promote healing for their ability to increase the health and normal division of human adult stem cells when grown in culture.

• We exposed three different types of adult stem cells, which are commonly found within the body, to natural compounds that are known to promote healing and measured the growth of these cells (Figure 1).
• Our results demonstrate a significant growth in the cells exposed to blueberry extract, green tea, catechin, carnosine and Vitamin D3, and that a specific combination of these ingredients at certain doses could promote even more growth of these stem cells.
• The control that was used to compare these effects was human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) which is used in humans to increase the numbers of stem cells in the blood.
