Asked Questions
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, they 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 early 2000’s, it was believed that adult stem cells only had the ability of transforming into blood cells, bone and connective tissue. But research over the past 2 decades have revealed that adult stem cells have capabilities comparable to embryonic stem cells, being able to transform into cells of the tissue in which they migrate.
What is the role of stem cells in the body?
Stem cells constitute the body’s System of Renewal, which ensures adequate tissue repair and health maintenance. Essentially, stem cells are naturally released by the bone marrow and travel via the bloodstream toward all organs and tissues to promote the body’s natural process of renewal. When an organ is subjected to a process that requires renewal, such as an injury or the simple natural aging process, this organ releases compounds that attract stem cells to this organ. As stem cells naturally circulate in the bloodstream, these compounds trigger their migration into the affected organ where they proliferate and differentiate into cells of this organ, supporting the natural process of repair and renewal. There is a direct link between the number of circulating stem cells and the ability of the body to reach and maintain optimal health. Statistically, individuals who develop degenerative problems have on average less than half the number of stem cells found in healthy individuals.

What is the effect of STEMREGEN®?
STEMREGEN® is a blend of plant extracts that have been documented to support the release of stem cells from the bone marrow, thereby increasing the number of circulating stem cells, as well as the migration of stem cells into tissues.
What is STEMREGEN® made of and what does it do in the body?
STEMREGEN® is a blend of the most potent stem cell enhancers that have been scientifically documented to support the natural release of stem cells from the bone marrow. STEMREGEN® is estimated to increase the number of circulating stem cells by up to 100%.
STEMREGEN contains:
Aphanizomenon flos-aquae : An extract from the cyanophyta Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) was documented to trigger stem cell mobilization from the bone marrow and to improve cases of various degenerative diseases.
Hippophae rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn Berry – SBB): SBB is a Native to the Tibetan Plateau, Mongolia, Central Northern China and the overall Himalayan region. SBB is a concentrated source of several flavonoids and polyphenols documented to provide numerous beneficial effects. Recently an extract of sea buckthorn berry was documented to trigger bone marrow stem cell mobilization and increase the number of circulating stem cells.
Fucus Vesiculosusextract: A unique source of fucoidan & phlorotannins, namely phloroglucinol, which have been associated to a wide range in health benefits. Fucoidan has been documented to increase the number of circulating stem cells.
Panax Notoginseng extract: Concentrating notogensinosides that were documented to promote both stem cell proliferation in the bone marrow and stem cell mobilization from the bone marrow.
StemAloe: A unique extract of Aloe that was documented to increase the number of circulating stem cells.
b-Glucan: Complex carbohydrates documented to support various aspects of immune functions. b-Glucan was documented to protect and support the bone marrow, to trigger the mobilization of stem cells from the bone marrow and support the migration of stem cells out of the blood into tissues. STEMREGEN® uses a source of b-Glucan that contains 85% 1-3 glycosidic bonds, which is the most potent form of b-Glucan.
Transfer Factor: A blend of growth factors found in colostrum. Documented to stimulate and modulate the activity of various immune cells. Stem Cells being technically a lymphocytes – Transfer Factor in STEMREGEN® supports overall stem cell function.

How does an increase in the number of circulating stem cells lead to optimal health?
Circulating stem cells can reach various organs and become cells of that organ, helping the organ regain and maintain optimal health. Recent studies have suggested that the number of circulating stem cells is a key factor in tissue repair and health maintenance; the higher the number of circulating stem cells the greater is the ability of the body to repair and maintain optimal health.

How is STEMREGEN® different from other supplements and vitamins? Why is STEMREGEN an expensive product?
Vitamins and other supplements like antioxidants and minerals play an important role in supporting the function of existing living cells. STEMREGEN® belongs to a novel class of products called “stem cell enhancers”, aimed at supporting the renewal process of the body by bringing new fresh cells to organs and tissues. While complementary, these products are very different in nature and have different mechanisms of action. Ingredients in STEMREGEN® have been patented for their effect on stem cells.

Is STEMREGEN® FDA approved?
Currently, the only stem cell treatments approved FDA in the United States consist of blood-forming stem cells (also known as hematopoietic progenitor cells) that are derived from umbilical cord blood. Stemregen is not considered a stem cell therapy, it is regulated by the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act.
What is the best way of taking STEMREGEN® ?
Two capsules of STEMREGEN® contains the amount of active botanical extracts documented to support the release of stem cells from the bone marrow. The suggested intake is therefore 2 capsules once or twice a day.

Do you need to take Stemregen indefinetely?
People oftentimes start taking STEMREGEN® in order to help some parts of the body heal and repair, after which they stop taking it. However, when we understand that most degenerative health problems develop due to the natural are-related decline in the number of circulating stem cells, taking STEMREGEN® every day becomes one of the best antiaging strategies.

Can STEMREGEN® deplete the bone marrow? Do we have a finite number of stem cells? Can I build up too many stem cells by taking STEMREGEN every day?
No, STEMREGEN® will not deplete the bone marrow. The bone marrow constantly produces stem cells for the entire life of an individual. Stem cells in the bone marrow are immortal.
A 60-100% increase in the number of circulating stem cells is well within the physiological range and does not constitute stress on the bone marrow. The amount of active bone marrow amounts to about 2,600 g (5.7 lbs), with about 1.5 trillion marrow cells, of which roughly 150 million are stem cells. A 100% increase in the number of circulating stem cells corresponds to approximately 8-14 million cells, which is a small portion of the stem cells present in the bone marrow. Stem cells that do not reach any tissue return to the bone marrow.

How long before I see the benefits of Stemregen®?
This is a difficult question to answer, as it depends upon a myriad of factors, namely the nature of the problem, whether it is an injury or an on-going degenerative problem, the overall health condition of a person, the state of systemic inflammation and oxidative stress, and various lifestyle factors like smoking, diet, stress that can all influence the role of stem cells in the body.
While some people have experienced benefits within days, other began experiencing benefits after nearly one year. This being said, on average, it is common to begin seeing at least some level of benefits within 1-3 months of consumption.
It is also important to mention that stem cells will primarily migrate into tissues signaling for repair, and these may not necessarily be where you want to experience benefits. For example, you may seek benefits with a problem affecting your knee, but stem cells may initially travel to your brain, lung and heart before going to your knee. One thing is certain, stem cells are your repair system, therefore if you put more stem cells in circulation these stem cells will participate to tissue repair and will somehow contribute to a greater level of wellness.

Why does the label say for people on anticoagulants to consult their physician prior to taking STEMREGEN® and what information does their physician need?
Why does the label say for people on anticoagulants to consult their physician prior to taking STEMREGEN® and what information does their physician need?The issue pertains to the anticoagulant medications that are blockers of vitamin K, namely Coumadin™ or Warfarin. People on Warfarin are usually advised by their prescribing physician to pay attention to the amount of vitamin K in their diet. Like many green foods STEMREGEN® contains naturally occurring vitamin K. So, taking STEMREGEN® would be just like eating a food with vitamin K like broccoli or spinach. The Recommended Daily Allowance of vitamin K is 80 mcgs. Just let the physician know that 2 capsules of STEMREGEN® have approximately 12 mcgs of vitamin K, which is roughly 15% of the RDA of vitamin K. As a comparison to other foods, one cup of raw broccoli has about 110% of the RDA (or 88 mcg) of vitamin K. A cup of fresh spinach has about 555% of the RDA (or 444 mcgs) of vitamin K.
Aside from its content in vitamin K, ingredients in STEMREGEN® have also been documented to have anticoagulant properties. Therefore, overall there is rarely an interaction with anticoagulant prescriptions, but it remains something important to share with your doctor.
Can STEMREGEN® be taken with medications?
As for medications other than anticoagulants, there are no known interactions or contraindications except for a possible theoretical interaction with anti-depressant medications. STEMREGEN® contains a naturally occurring nutrient known as PEA (phenylethylamine), also present in chocolate. PEA is naturally produced by the brain and known in the literature to support mood and mental energy. PEA is a natural compound made by the brain whenever one feels content and happy; it has been described as “the molecule of joy”. STEMREGEN® contains approximately 5 mg of PEA per dose of STEMREGEN®. One study has suggested that PEA could possibly interact with antidepressant medications. STEMREGEN® also contains a sea buckthorn extract that has been documented to have anti-stress and mood elevating properties. Many people taking STEMREGEN® report mood elevation and a sense of wellbeing. For this reason, people using antidepressant medication should consult their healthcare practitioner. PEA has also been suggested to be contraindicated in cases of bipolar disorders, although no cases of negative interactions have been documented.

STEMREGEN® is a product that supports stem cell functions in the body. Given the novel nature of both the concept and the product, a significant effort of education is required to help people become aware of this new technology. Therefore STEMREGEN® can be purchased through medical doctors, health professionals and STEMREGEN® offices.
Why does the label of STEMREGEN® say to consult your physician if you are pregnant or nursing? What if I get pregnant while I am taking STEMREGEN®?
Many products carry such warnings out of an abundance of caution rather than any known pregnancy risk. We know of no evidence that consuming STEMREGEN® during pregnancy creates a health risk.
Can you take STEMREGEN® if you are being treated by a health care practitioner for a specific ailment or are taking medications of any kind?
As with any dietary supplement, it is recommended that if you are being treated by a health care practitioner or are taking medications of any kind that you consult with your practitioner prior to taking STEMREGEN®.
Are our capsules vegetarian?
Yes. STEMREGEN® uses vegetarian capsules that are commonly used in the dietary supplement industry. They contain no gelatin or animal by-product of any kind. They are essentially made of cellulose, a polysaccharide fiber found in vegetables.
Are there any synthetic ingredients in STEMREGEN®?
STEMREGEN® does not contain any synthetic ingredients. Even the capsule is a vegetarian capsule made of plant-based cellulose. STEMREGEN® does contain 12.5mg of magnesium stearate per capsule, as a flow agent during encapsulation.
Is STEMREGEN® patented?
STEMREGEN® itself is not patented, but ingredients in STEMREGEN® have been patented for their effect on stem cells.
What happens to stem cells if they do not reach a tissue?
Stem cells released from the bone marrow that does not reach a tissue simply home back to the bone marrow after a few hours.
What is the recommended amount of STEMREGEN® to take?
Two capsules of STEMREGEN® contains the amount of active botanical extracts documented to support the release of stem cells from the bone marrow. The suggested intake is therefore 2 capsules once or twice a day.
Can STEMREGEN® deplete the bone marrow do we have a finite number of stem cells?
No, STEMREGEN® will not deplete the bone marrow. The bone marrow constantly produces stem cells for the entire life of an individual.
A 60-100% increase in the number of circulating stem cells is well within the physiological range and does not constitute stress on the bone marrow. The amount of active bone marrow amounts to about 2,600 g (5.7 lbs), with about 1.5 trillion marrow cells, of which roughly 150 million are stem cells. A 100% increase in the number of circulating stem cells corresponds to approximately 8-14 million cells, which is a small portion of the stem cells present in the bone marrow. Stem cells that do not reach any tissue return to the bone marrow.
Do you use adult stem cells or embryonic stem cells?
Stemregen does not contain stem cells, it contains herbal extracts that were documented to support the release of your own bone marrow stem cells, henceforth the product supports adult stem cells.
