StemEnhance

What is it?

StemEnhance is the very first product on the market from the product category called “stem cell enhancers” - products that support your natural stem cell physiology. It consists of a patented natural 5:1 concentrate of an edible aquatic botanical known as Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) that contains two proprietary components, Migratose® and Mobilin™.

What are 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.

Why do I need this product?

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.

How does it work?

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.

What are 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.

Is StemEnhance® scientifically studied?

Yes. Several clinical studies have been conducted on the product, in addition to several in-vitro trials.

Where is it available?

StemEnhance is only available through STEMTech HealthSciences, Inc. and its independent distributors. The formulation is patented and is the first of its kind on the market.

Adult Stem Cells: Guide to stem-cell research

Christian Drapeau's 'Cracking the Stem Cell Code' offers a guide to stem-cell research.

A San Clemente scientist wanted to demystify stem-cell research so he wrote a book about what's new and what's next in the field.

"Cracking the Stem Cell Code" by Christian Drapeau was one of Amazon's top alternative-medicine sellers before Christmas during its advance sales. The book was officially released Jan. 1.

"I wanted to clear a lot of that cloudiness around stem cells," Drapeau said. "At the moment, when you say stem cells, a lot of people think of killing babies. There's a bad aura."

Drapeau is chief science officer at StemTech HealthSciences, a research firm headquartered in San Clemente that makes stem-cell-enhancing nutritional products. He received his training in neurophysiology from the Montreal Neurological Institute and is a frequent speaker at scientific events.

His book, published by Sutton Hart Press, is like a "Stem Cells for Dummies." Drapeau focuses on adult stem-cell research, which isn't to be confused with the embryonic kind that has long been a topic of public debate. Drapeau says he is against embryonic research for scientific reasons, not ethical ones.

Stem cells are like an internal repair system, according to the National Institutes of Health. When an organ or tissue is hurt, the bone marrow releases adult stem cells that travel back to the injured area, turning into healthy cells. Proponents say stem cells can unlock the key to curing diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Many opponents of stem-cell research say using embryos for research kills life.

The public focus on embryonic stem-cell research has pushed adult stem-cell research into the shadows, Drapeau said. He hopes his book changes that.

"I tend to be more on the progressive side" of the research, Drapeau said. "But the literature is out there. I'm just guiding people to the literature that exists."

His Book Cracking the Stem Cell Code is available from Amazon.

The Acai Berry's proven antioxidants

Acai (ah-sigh-ee) is a small purple berry from the Brazilian Amazon that has been found to be one of the most nutritious and powerful foods on the planet – jam packed with antioxidants, healthy omega fats, amino acids and dietary fiber.

Proven antioxidants:

Beta carotene -- Beta carotene is a proven free-radical scavenger associated with lowered risks for several types of cancer, including breast, lung, skin and stomach cancers. Research also supports its use in promoting eye health, lowering cholesterol levels and preventing heart disease.

Vitamin C -- This vitamin is a powerful antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties found to improve symptoms of asthma and arthritis. Studies have also found vitamin C supplementation useful in protecting against atherosclerosis, stroke, cancer and reducing complications in macular degeneration in diabetics and promoting healthy immune function. When used in combination with vitamin E, a 2004 study from the Archives of Neurology found vitamin C reduced the risk of Alzheimer's disease.

Vitamin E -- Several studies have linked this vitamin to reduced risk of heart attacks and found it beneficial in lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. The National Eye Institute also found vitamin E to be one of several antioxidants (including vitamin C, beta carotene and zinc)that may help reduce the risk of macular degeneration-related vision loss. New clinical research is also recommending vitamin E for diabetes prevention and treatment. Other benefits linked to vitamin E include use for inflammation, blood cell and cell-division regulation and connective tissue health.

Magnesium -- Magnesium deficiency has been linked to several chronic conditions. As an antioxidant magnesium improves the cardiovascular system's antioxidant threshold and increases the body's resistance to free radicals. It also protects agains free radical damage to mitochondria (cellular energy producers) and has been used to regulate heart rhythm and blood pressure.

Polyphenolic flavonoids -- Sixteen types of bioactive polypheolic compounds have been identified in acai berry. Polyphenols are antioxidant compounds found in produce, grains, tea and soybeans. Research shows that polyphenolic compounds have anti-tumor properties and may be useful in the treatment and prevention of cancers of the breast, colon, skin, lung and liver. Other benefits include antiinflammatory antiallergenic, immunostimulatory and cardioprotective properties.

Anthocyanins -- Two major types of anhocyanins have been found in acai, including cyanidin-3-glucoside and cyaninidin-3-rutinoside. Anthocyanins are exceptional antioxidant compounds believed to reduce heart disease risk by neutralizing free radicals that could damage blood vessel walls, leading to cholesterol and plaque buildup. Acai is believed to have up to 30 times the anthocyanins found in red wine.

Keep in mind that this does not require you to take a pill, these antioxidants are contained in this superfood from the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil, the Ancient Acai Berry.

- Time Magazine cover story

Just the Facts from the Leading Voice of Adult Stem Cell Science

When Christian Drapeau first posited that Adult Stem Cells were the very foundation of the body's natural healing system, scientific study in the field was in its infancy.

His hypothesis that Adult Stem Cells, created by the bone marrow, flowed to any tissue or organ needing regeneration and morphed into healthy cells of that location, was initially ridiculed by medical science.

However, recent studies and a Nobel Prize winning discovery affirm Christian's position which has gained not just momentum but widespread acceptance in scientific circles as study after study reveal that Adult Stem Cell science holds phenomenal promise in all areas of human wellness.

In Cracking the Stem Cell Code, author and scientist Christian Drapeau demystifies the most important scientific breakthrough of our times. He reveals the far reaching potential of adult stem cells in human health and wellness.

Christian explains the stem cell phenomenon in the reader-friendly manner that made his prior book, The Stem Cell Theory of Renewal, a major hit with tens of thousands of eager readers.

Adult Stem Cells hold the promise of miraculous wellness - Cracking the Stem Cell Code explains how.

For the average reader interested in gaining greater understanding of the stem cell phenomenon.
