Watch this video which explains our body's own natural renewal system.
As we age, the body releases fewer and fewer adult stem cells, the body's rebuilding tools. Stem Cell Nutrition helps overcome the aging process by promoting the release of additional adult stem cells in the body. “Supporting the release of stem cells from the bone marrow and increasing the number of circulating stem cells is probably the single most important thing you can do to improve your health” - Christian Drapeau, MSc

How does STEMTech AFA Extract work ?
STEMTech AFA Extract is a blend of two compounds extracted from the cyanophyta Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae (AFA). These compounds are carefully extracted in a patented proprietary process which does NOT utilize chemicals or harsh agents.
One extract, which contains an L-selectin ligand, supports the release of stem cells (CD34+ cells) from the bone marrow, which then circulate in the blood stream. The other extract, a polysaccharide-rich fraction named Migratose™, supports the migration of stem cells out of the blood into body tissues.
One gram of STEMTech AFA Extract triggers an average of between 25 to 30 percent increase in circulating stem cells. The effect lasts for a few hours.
What is STEMTech AFA Extract made of ?
STEMTech AFA Extract is not a drug, and is not intended to "treat" or "cure" any disease. It is a natural food supplement derived from a tiny natural freshwater aquatic plant that simply supports your body's own ability to heal itself. This unique plant, a cyanophtya whose scientific name is Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae or AFA, can be harvested in only one place - the mineral-rich waters of Klamath Lake, 1400 feet above sea level in the Cascade Mountains in the state of Oregon, USA.
Upper Lake Klamath is one of the cleanest lakes in the USA, yet the deep layer of sediment at the bottom is extremely rich in minerals because for centuries it has been fed by many mountain streams washing down from the volcanic mountains which surround it. The area enjoys about 300 days of sunshine per year, which provides an ideal growing environment for this remarkable fast-growing and highly nutritious plant.
Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae has never been successfully cultivated commercially, so this tiny, free-floating, underwater plant must be harvested in the wild from the waters of upper Klamath Lake at the peak of the summer growing season. AFA is a highly unusual single-celled organism that has a very high chlorophyll content (about 7 percent by weight) and is extremely rich in Beta Carotene (Vitamin A precursor). The chlorophyll gives it a very dark green colour, thus AFA is known as a blue-green algae.
Yet, unlike all other plant organisms, AFA does not have a cell wall made of undigestible cellulose - which makes the nutrients in AFA more "bio-available" than the nutrients in all other types of algae. Overall, the human body will absorb approximately 95 percent of the nutrients in this algae "super food".
Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae also has a very rich content of high-grade protein (about 70 percent by weight). AFA contains all 22 essential amino acids in the most bio-available form (about 98 per cent bio-available).
And the relative amounts of each amino acid in AFA are so close to the amino acid spectrum which is optimal for the human body, that AFA blue-green algae has been called "the most complete brain food of the world". AFA is also considered the best non-animal source of natural Vitamin B12. And one gram of Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae contains approximately 50% of the daily recommendation (USRDA) for Vitamin K.
The nutritional benefits most often reported by consumers of this Klamath Lake AFA blue-green algae are:
· increased energy levels
· heightened mental clarity
· improved memory and recall
· relief of inflammatory conditions
· an overall feeling of well-being.
Compared to another well-known nutritious blue-green algae known as Spirulina, the AFA Blue-Green Algae has about 40% more Calcium, 100% more Chromium, 275% more Chlorophyll, and five to ten times the Vitamin C content of Spirulina. The assimilation rate of Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae exceeds 95%, while Spirulina is only 50% to 60% assimilated by the human body.
Benefits of your own Adult Stem Cells over externally derived Embryonic Stem Cells
Adult stem cells are most abundantly found in bone marrow, and are sometimes referred to as bone marrow stem cells. A healthy body continuously produces these adult stem cells, which then circulate through the blood stream and function to replace dysfunctional cells, thus fulfilling the natural process of maintaining optimal health.
You may have heard about news reports of "embryonic stem cells" being taken from an unborn human fetus, but here we are talking about adult stem cells which are produced in your own body. Because they are your own body cells containing your own DNA, your immune system does not identify them as foreign bodies and then attack and destroy them.
Thus adult stem cells are not affected by the "rejection" problem which often occurs when embryonic stem cells from outside sources have been unsuccessfully transplanted. And the ethical or religious issues associated with harvesting embryonic stem cells from a human fetus are simply not relevant to adult stem cells, because they are naturally created within your own body.
Cost wise, Stem Cell Nutrition is very much more affordable than injections of embryonic stem cells.

What is the Recommended Stem Cell Nutrition?
STEMTech AFA Extract 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”. In fact, it is the world’s first and only patented, scientifically proven Stem Cell Enhancer.
What is Stem Cell Nutrition?
Stem Cell Nutrition, also known as Stem Cell Enhancer, is a health supplement which when consumed will stimulate the release of additional adult stem cells from the bone marrow of the person taking the supplement. These adult stem cells travel throughout the body and act to support optimal organ and tissue function. Stem Cell Nutrition supports the natural role of adult stem cells.

What Do Stem Cells Mean for My Health?
The National Institute of Health identifies 74 treatable diseases using adult stem cells in therapy. These costly and complex therapies typically deliver a massive quantity of adult stem cells to the area undergoing treatment. Most require that stem cells be harvested from the patient or an adult donor, programmed in a lab to become a specific type of cell, and then injected into the body. For treatment of disease these therapies are the best method of recovery, producing truly remarkable results. But, most of us don’t have health issues that require these extensive procedures.
For those of us just wanting to maintain optimal health or address the effects of aging, or day to day wear and tear, a smaller but steady release of our existing stem cells into the bloodstream can produce considerable health benefits. When Stem Cell Nutrition products are used as a daily supplement over time, the stimulation of billions of additional stem cells in the bloodstream could be one of the safest and most efficient methods for maintaining optimal health that science has yet discovered.

What is the Stem Cell Theory of Renewal?
The Stem Cell Theory of Renewal proposes that stem cells are naturally released by the bone marrow and travel via the bloodstream toward tissues to promote the body’s natural process of renewal. When an organ is subjected to a process that requires renewal, such as the natural aging process, this organ releases compounds that trigger the release of stem cells from the bone marrow. The organ also releases compounds that attracts stem cells to this organ. The released stem cells then follow the concentration gradient of these compounds and leave the blood circulation to migrate to the organ where they proliferate and differentiate into cells of this organ, supporting the natural process of renewal.
Types of Stem Cells
We now know that there are two types of stem cells, namely Embryonic Stem Cells (ESC) and Adult Stem Cells (ASC).
An ESC is a stem cell from a fetus. The scientific belief was that these cells are the only cells that are so primitive that they are capable of becoming almost any other cell. Any ESC research will involve their extraction which kills the fetus, therefore raising moral issues and debates.
An ASC is a stem cell from a person after birth. Just a few years ago, these stem cells were believed to be limited to making only blood cells. We now have scientific evidence that these stem cells have a great deal of potential. Indeed, they constitute our body’s natural renewal system, and they do not have any moral considerations since they come from our own body. ASC is also known as Bone Marrow Stem Cells.
Cord Blood Stem Cells
A cord blood stem cell is a stem cell isolated from the blood in the umblical cord from a new born baby. Fewer ethical concerns are attached to the use of cord blood cells, because the cord is a “waste product”. Some people even pay to have their child’s cord blood frozen for later use, should the child need stem cells. In fact it is also ASC.
Adult versus Embryonic Stem Cells

The First Creation of Life
When the sperm fertilizes the egg the first creation is a stem cell. It then divides into more stem cells which continue to divide until they begin to differentiate (or change), becoming specific types of cells that will go on to form all of the different parts of the body. These are the embryonic stem cells that are the focus of the media’s attention. But after birth, and throughout life, stem cells continue to be made in the body. And as science has recently discovered, these adult stem cells are the body’s primary system of renewal and restoration.
Watch this video on human development …… it shows the power of stem cells in developing an embryo into a full grown baby.
What is a Stem Cell?
The National Institutes of Health defines a stem cell in this way:
“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 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”.
