StemPlex® is a unique combination of natural ingredients that have been found to work synergistically to support the growth of adult stem cells (see chart on page 2).* Research demonstrates that these nutrients can help promote natural renewal by means of an interaction with stem cell populations. The StemPlex formula helps this process in two ways. First, the ingredients provide nutrition for stem cells to reproduce. Second, via its antioxidant capacity, the formula protects existing stem cells from the harmful effects of free radicals; this is especially important because during the natural aging process, adult stem cells are known to have a reduced regenerative capacity.

All of the ingredients in this exceptional formula have been shown to increase the proliferation of adult stem cells in vitro; and when they are combined, the increase in the growth of stem cells is even greater. In addition to this synergistic functioning, each of the individual ingredients also adds its own benefit. Green tea extract helps to support normal cholesterol levels, the digestive and respiratory systems, and the health of skin tissue.* Wild blueberry supports the health of the brain, heart, urinary tract, and eyes. Blueberry extract further promotes maintenance of healthy brain, cardiovascular, vision, joint and urinary tract function, and normal glucose levels.* Carnosine is an antioxidant amino acid naturally present in the human body that may delay the natural aging of cells and extend the lifespan of adult stem cells. Vitamin D supports adult stem cell renewal and helps these cells become immune cells for naturally fighting infections.* To these natural ingredients that make up the patented base formulation, we have added organic Alpha Sun^® algae, with its vast array of micronutrients that help your body maintain overall physical well-being.

Many of the ingredients in StemPlex are antioxidants. As oxidation of iron causes rust, our bodies heal less effectively if cells are damaged by free radicals. Antioxidants are very important in promoting a healthy immune system and in the prevention of disease. They can possibly reduce the body's vulnerability to age-related health issues, and so help us achieve a healthier life.

Developed by leading university scientists, this remarkable formula assists in the propagation of adult stem cells, which, when combined with proper diet and exercise, support the maintenance of optimal health.*

What Are Stem Cells? There are two basic types of stem cells— embryonic and adult. While controversy surrounds the use of embryonic stem cells, no such debate exists with the use of adult stem cells, which are naturally occurring in the body. All stem cells are capable of dividing and renewing themselves for long periods of time, and they can give rise to specialized cells. According to the National Institutes of Health, stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body. 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, a skin cell, etc. When released, new stem cells work on problem areas of the body that often arise as we grow older. Serving as a repair system for the body, stem cells can theoretically divide without limit to replenish other cells as long as a person or animal is alive. This graph illustrates the proliferation effect of the ingredients in StemPlex on three types of adult stem cells in vitro. This information is detailed in the original research report "Nutraceuticals Synergistically Promote Proliferation of Human Stem Cells," by Dr. Paula C. Bickford, et al.
