The product is suitable for anyone who wants
to support his or her body's natural renewal
system.
- Who should not use StemPlex™?
There are no indications for anyone not to use
StemPlex™, but if you have a medical condition
or are taking any prescription medication, we
recommend that you consult with your health
care professional.
- Is there caffeine in the green tea extract?
The green tea extract contains very little caffeine.
In the final formula, the amount of caffeine is
lessthan two-tenths of one percent.
- What form of vitamin D is used in
StemPlex™?
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is the form of
Vitamin D used in this product. It is obtained
from lanolin, an oil that is pressed from wool.
- Is the Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (blue-
green algae) in StemPlex™ the same as that
in a competitive product, StemEnhance?
StemPlex™ contains whole Aphanizomenon flos-
aquae and other nutrients that have been
shown to increase the proliferation of stem cells.
Stem Enhance is reported to contain two
extracts of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae.
- Does supplementing the use of StemPlex™
with enzymes help StemPlex™ become more
available?
Although it is perfectly fine to take this product
all by itself, it is true that using it in conjunction
with enzymes will assist in the digestion and
availability of the ingredients in StemPlex™.
- Does StemPlex stop working after a period
of use?
Animal testing data suggests that the product
works for continued periods of time, priming the
stem cells to be ready when needed by the body.
- What evidence shows that StemPlex™ is
safe for long-term use?
StemPlex™ is a combination of several natural
ingredients (blueberries, green tea, vitamin D,
Super Blue Green® Algae, and carnosine, a
naturally-occurring amino acid) that have been
consumed by humans for decades or, in the
case of blueberries and green tea, thousands of
years without adverse effects.
- Does this combination of natural ingredients
in StemPlex™ increase cell proliferation in a
safe and efficient manner?
Yes. However, if you have a pre-existing medical
condition you should always consult with a
health care professional prior to taking this or
any other dietary supplement.
- Does the body produce only a limited
number of stem cells per day while on the
product?
The body naturally produces a certain "limited"
amount of stem cells per day. For consumers of
this product, researchers predict that more
stem cells will be available in the bone marrow
and other parts of the body.
- What clinical evidence shows that taking
StemPlex™ will improve anyone's health?
We are planning human studies, and results of
animal studies that have been done will be
available as soon as that data can be released.
The results of in vitro studies have been
published and the report is available from
Simplexity Health™.
- What is the lay interpretation of Dr.
Bickford's scientific article?
Dr. Bickford's article reports the effect of the
ingredients in the StemPlex™ formula on the
proliferation (growth) of stem cells. Three types
of adult stem cells were tested and were shown
to increase the proliferation by as much as 70%
in vitro. The research article is available for
purchase.
- How do I interpret the bar graph from the
data sheet?
The bar graph illustrates the increase in
proliferation on three types of adult stem cells
as a result of the ingredients in StemPlex™, as
reported by Dr. Bickford.
- What are bone marrow, CD34+, and
CD133+ cells?
The bone marrow is one of the places in the
body where many stem cells are located and
thus is a rich source of stem cell population. The
CD34+ and CD133+ cells are specific types of
stem cells that are released from the bone
marrow into the blood. All three are types of
stem cells with the potential to become other
types of tissue cells with a specialized function.
- Since the testing was done in vitro, will the
product have any effect in the body (in
vivo)?
The data presented is published in peer reviewed
scientific literature. To date the only published
literature on StemPlex™ shows data on human
stem cells in culture (in vitro). Research is
continuing on this formulation to show the
effect in the body (in vivo). The results of
ongoing animal studies indicate positive effects
in vivo. The animal studies will be available as
soon as that data can be released.
- The study estimated the number of stem
cells by a process known as "MTT cell
proliferation assay," which measures
mitochondrial activity. Is this a good
measure of stem cell count?
Studies have shown that the MTT assay
accurately reflects the number of stem cells in
the culture and this is the reason that this assay
was chosen by the scientists who did the
research.
- Is an increase in the proliferation of stem
cells in the bone marrow linked to health
improvements?
The data that has been presented shows that
this formula will increase the viability and number
of human bone marrow, CD34+, and CD133+
cells. The latter two reside in the bone marrow
and are released into the circulation at times
when they are needed for repair. At the time of
injury or when signals are sent out by the body
for stem cells, the cells in the bone marrow are
primed and ready for action. This product
supports the natural repair system in our bodies.
