StemEnhance@AFA Extract is a blend of two compounds extracted from the cyanophyta Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA). These compounds are extracted using a proprietary process that utilizes no chemicals or harsh agents.
One extract, which contains an L-selectin ligand, supports the release of stem cells (CD34+ cells) from the bone marrow. The other extract, a polysaccharide-rich fraction named Migratose%u2122, may support the migration of stem cells out of the blood into tissues.
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.
