Stem
cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many
different cell types in the body. Serving as a sort of
repair system for the body, they can theoretically divide
without limit to replenish other cells as long as the person
or animal is still alive. 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, or a
brain cell.
Stem cells are cells found in all multi-cellular organisms.
They retain the ability to renew themselves through mitotic
cell division and can differentiate into a diverse range
of specialized cell types. Research in the stem cell field
grew out of findings by Canadian scientists Ernest A. McCulloch
and James E. Till in the 1960s
Stem cell research has been hailed for the potential to
revolutionize the future of medicine with the ability to
regenerate damaged and diseased organs. On the other hand,
stem cell research has been highly controversial due to
the ethical issues concerned with the culture and use of
stem cells derived from human embryos. This article presents
an overview of what stem cells are, what roles they play
in normal processes such as development and cancer, and
how stem cells could have the potential to treat incurable
diseases.
Stem cell research has been hailed for the potential

presents an overview of what stem cells are, what roles
they play in normal processes such as development and cancer,
and how stem cells could have the potential to treat incurable
diseases.
In addition to offering unprecedented hope in treating
many debilitating diseases, stem cells have advanced our
understanding of basic biological processes.
Three processes in which stem cells play a central role in an organism,
development, repair of damaged tissue, and cancer resulting from stem
cell division going awry.
Research and clinical applications of cultured stem cells:
this includes the types of stem cells used, their characteristics,
and the uses of stem cells in studying biological processes,
drug development and stem cell therapy; heart disease,
diabetes and Parkinson's disease are used as examples.
During development, stem cells divide and produce more
specialized cells. Stem cells are also present in the adult
in far lesser numbers. The role of adult stem cells (also
called somatic stem cells) is believed to be replacement
of damaged and injured tissue. Observed in continually-replenished
cells such as blood cells and skin cells, stem cells have
recently been found in other tissue, such as neural tissue.
Organ regeneration has long been believed to be through
organ-specific and tissue-specific stem cells. Hematopoietic
stem cells were believed to replenish blood cells, stem
cells of the gut to replace cells of the gut and so on.
Recently, using cell lineage tracking, stem cells from
one organ have been discovered that divide to form cells
of another organ. Hematopoietic stem cells can give rise
to liver, brain and kidney cells. This plasticity of adult
stem cells has been observed not only under experimental
conditions, but also in people who have received bone marrow
transplants.4
For wound healing in the skin, epidermal stem cells and
bone-marrow progenitor cells both contribute.6 Thus it
is likely that organ-specific progenitors and hematopoietic
stem cells are involved in repair, even for other organ
repair.
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF WELLNESS AND THE
MAGIC OF
StemEnhance™ “ helping your body help itself”
THE WORLD'S FIRST PRODUCT
to support the natural release of adult stem cells
What is a Stem
Cell Enhancement?
StemEnhance is a breakthrough, natural botanical extract
that supports wellness by helping your body maintain healthy
stem cell physiology. It is the very first product on the
market from the latest phytoceutical product category called “stem
cell enhancers”.
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 Stem
Cell Enhancement?
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 enhancement
is 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.
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.
Why the StemEnhance Product?
Effectiveness of StemEnhance was demonstrated in a triple-blind
study.Volunteers rested for one hour before establishing
baseline levels. After the first blood samples, volunteers
were given StemEnhance™ or placebo. Thereafter, blood
samples were taken at 30, 60 and 120 minutes after taking
the consumables. The number of circulating stem cells was
quantified by analyzing the blood samples using Fluorescence-Activated
Cell Sorting (FACS). Consumption of StemEnhance™ triggered
a significant 25-30% increase in the number of circulating
stem cells.
Few quarrel with predictions of the awesome potential
that stem cell research holds. One day, scientists say,
stem cells may be used to replace or repair damaged cells,
and have the potential to drastically change the treatment
of conditions like cancer, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
disease and even paralysis.

Stem
cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many
different cell types in the body. Serving as a sort of
repair system for the body, they can theoretically divide
without limit to replenish other cells as long as the person
or animal is still alive. 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, or a
brain cell.
