Nutritional Supplement Boosts Stem Cell Production In Clinical Study

April 7, 2010: 07:53 AM EST
A clinical study has found that a commercially-available nutritional supplement kindles the production of stem cells essential for tissue repair. Stem-Kine from Aidan Products increases the blood circulation of hematopoietic stem cells that generate all blood cells and endothelial progenitor cells that repair damage to blood vessels, researchers said. A team of researchers from industry and academia tested the supplement in 18 healthy adults between 20 and 72 years. They ingested the supplement twice a day for two weeks. Researchers tested their blood for stem cell activity and found that the supplement was increased the number of stem cells circulating in the blood. Stem-Kine is a mixture of green tea, astralagus, goji berry extracts, “good” bacteria Lactobacillus fermentum, antioxidant ellagic acid, immune enhancer beta 1,3 glucan and vitamin D3.
