WHAT ARE STEM CELLS?
Stem cells are a special type of cell that have the unique ability to divide and develop into different types of specialized cells in the body. They are undifferentiated cells, meaning they do not have a specific function and can transform into any type of cell, such as muscle cells, nerve cells, blood cells, etc. This process is known as cell differentiation.
STEM CELLS ARE FOUND IN VARIOUS TISSUES AND ORGANS OF THE BODY AND HAVE SEVERAL IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS:
- Tissue Renewal: Stem cells are responsible for renewing and repairing damaged or aging tissues in the body. They can differentiate into specialized cells to replace cells lost due to injury, disease, or the normal aging process.
- Regeneration: Stem cells also play a crucial role in the regeneration of organs and tissues after injury or surgery. They can help restore the function of affected tissues and promote healing.
- Embryonic Development: In embryonic development, stem cells are the precursors to all types of cells found in the human body. During the early stages of development, stem cells divide and differentiate into different types of cells, leading to the formation of the various tissues and organs of the body.
There are different types of stem cells, including embryonic stem cells, which are found in developing embryos and have the potential to develop into any type of cell in the body, and adult stem cells, which are found in adult tissues and have a limited ability to differentiate into specific cell types. There are also induced stem cells, which are generated in the laboratory by reprogramming adult cells to have properties similar to those of embryonic stem cells.
STEM CELLS DECREASE WITH AGE
It is true that the number and activity of stem cells tend to decrease with age. This phenomenon, known as stem cell decline, is a natural part of aging.
THERE ARE SEVERAL REASONS FOR THIS:
- Depletion of reserves: With age, stem cell populations in tissues and organs tend to decline due to the progressive depletion of stem cell reserves. This phenomenon may be due to the reduced self-renewal capacity of stem cells or their death over time.
- Changes in the cellular microenvironment: The cellular environment or microenvironment surrounding stem cells, also known as the cellular niche, can change with age. These changes can negatively impact the ability of stem cells to self-renew and differentiate into specialized cells.
- Accumulation of cellular damage: Over time, stem cells can accumulate damage to their DNA and other cellular components due to factors such as oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and exposure to environmental toxins. This can negatively impact the function and regenerative capacity of stem cells.
- Immune system dysfunction: The immune system plays an important role in regulating stem cells and their activity. As we age, the immune system can become less effective, which can negatively affect the ability of stem cells to respond appropriately to signals from the body and perform their functions properly.
- Stem cell decline with age has been associated with a decreased ability to regenerate and repair tissues, as well as an increased risk of age-related diseases. Therefore, there is great interest in research into how to preserve or improve stem cell function in aging, with the goal of developing therapies that can promote health and longevity.
HOW TO INCREASE STEM CELLS NATURALLY?
Until relatively recently, access to stem cell therapies was limited primarily to wealthy individuals or elite athletes seeking rejuvenation or injury-healing treatments. These treatments often involved expensive and sometimes invasive procedures, such as intravenous stem cell injections.
However, in recent years, significant advances have been made in the understanding and application of stem cells, leading to new ways to increase stem cells in the body without resorting to invasive treatments.
CERTAIN SUPPLEMENTS MAY BE HELPFUL IN INCREASING THE NUMBER OF STEM CELLS INCLUDING STEMENHANCE® ULTRA
StemEnhance ULTRA is the most effective product for stem cell support. It contains a proprietary blend of highly concentrated extracts, including Fucoidan and the exclusive ingredients StemEnhance and Mesenkine®.
STEMENHANCE ULTRA IS MADE WITH PRIMITIVE NATURAL “SUPERFOODS”.
StemEnhance ULTRA (SEU) is made from nature’s most primitive superfoods. It concentrates and combines extracts from freshwater microalgae and marine macroalgae. Cerule is specialized in the harvest of Aphanizomenon flos aquae (AFA) and the transformation and extraction of both AFA and spirulina through processes that ensure quality from the raw material to the finished product. SEU is the result of more than 10 years of research in the identification and extraction of active molecules, as well as the design of an exclusive drying technology called HydroDry® that preserves the nutritional benefits of algae, (US Patents 6,814,961 & 9,370,537 / EU Patent 1,895,973).
StemEnhance ULTRA is a clinically tested blend of two Cerule patented extracts; StemEnhance from AFA and Mesenkine from Spirulina, as well as Fucoïdan (Undaria pinnatifida). These 3 ingredients work in synergy to support the release of your adult stem cells.
Aphanizomenon flos aquae (AFA) is a blue-green algae that belongs to the cyanobacteria family. It grows naturally in Klamath Lake in Southern Oregon (USA). Cradled in a volcanic region, surrounded by national parks and forests, Klamath lake constitutes a unique ecosystem rich in sediment and minerals that promote and sustain exceptional algal blooms. Thus, AFA provides various essential macronutrients (Pietri A. M., 2011), proteins (>50%) and fibers. It also constitutes a good source of micronutrients:
- 20 amino acids, characterized by an ideal profile that matches the recommended daily intakes of the 10 essential amino acids
- 60 minerals and trace elements, rich in calcium (6mg/g) and in iron (0.32mg/g)
- 14 vitamins, particularly vitamins B1, B2, B12.
It provides several antioxidants including carotenoids, lycopene, and chlorophyll. Moreover, AFA contains PhenylEthylAmine (PEA). This molecule is naturally secreted by the brain and is associated with a sense of wellbeing, it participates to the regulation of mood.
StemEnhance® (Aphanizomenon flos aquae)
StemEnhance contains a L-selectin inhibitor and has been clinically tested to support the mobilization of your adult stem cells. (Jensen et al., 2007). The extract has been extensively studied in several preclinical and clinical studies (Drapeau et al., 2010; Drapeau et al., 2012; Ismail et al. 2013; El Akabawy & El Mehi 2015).
AFA is well known for its nutritional richness in macro and micronutrients. It is composed of more than 60% proteins and 14% carbohydrates. It is a good source of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids, amino acids, and micronutrients such as Iron, Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus and Selenium. It is used in nutritional supplementation all over the world. It contains antioxidants and supports the immune system (Finamore et al., 2017).
Mesenkine® (Arthrospira Platensis)
While developing Cyactiv® over several years, a low-molecular weight compound called Mesenkine was discovered and isolated from spirulina.
The process to extract Mesenkine is patented by Cerule. The studies carried out on Mesenkine show that the extract helps mobilize your adult stem cells.
Fucoïdan (Undaria pinnatifida)
Fucoïdan is used in Japanese cuisine under the name Wakame. It is used in salads and miso soup. Undaria pinnatifida is a brown algae traditionally called sea fern.
It is grown in several regions of the world but the Wakame selected in SEU comes from the world’s most pristine oceanic environments. Undaria pinnatifida helps to protect cells and tissues against damages from oxidative stress, thanks to its richness in polyphenols and fucoxanthin (Fung et al., 2013). This characteristic comes from an adaptive defense mechanism, as seaweeds are exposed to significant sunlight and oxygen.
Marine algae, or seaweeds, are well-known for their content in sulfated polysaccharides that compose their cell wall. The extract selected by Cerule, standardized to 80% of Fucoïdan, was documented to support the mobilization of your adult stem cells (Irhimeh et al., 2007)
