1.What does StemFlo do?
StemFlo
is a proprietary blend of herbs and all natural ingredients that
support optimal blood circulation by reducing fibrin and oxidative stress in the
blood, detoxifying the blood and improving overall blood flow. StemFlo is especially
designed to support the delivery of stem cells to all parts of the body. StemFlo
also supports the delivery of nutrients and oxygen, as well as immune cells, throughout
the whole body. When used in conjunction with StemEnhance, StemFlo optimizes the
body's ability to deliver and circulate adult stem cells to the tissues and organs
where they are needed.
2. What are the ingredients in StemFlo? Is it all natural?
StemFlo is an all-natural product and all its ingredients are natural. StemFlo
is a blend of:
Fibrinerase® - A proprietary blend of plant-based enzymes that
helps decrease fibrin and debris in the blood, supporting optimal blood flow.
Organically certified (Asia) mangosteen - Mangosteen is an extraordinary
fruit originally from Southeast Asia, well known for its antioxidant properties.
Berry Extract – A special formulation of berry extracts with proven
high antioxidant potential designed to neutralize the production of damaging "free-radicals"
in the body. STEMTech uses only extracts that have a high ORAC and CAP-e values.
ORAC and CAP-e are the industry standard for measuring the effectiveness of any
antioxidant product.
Cat's Claw – Also called the "Sacred Herb of the Rainforest", this
tropical vine found in the jungles of the Amazonian Basin provides potent unique
antioxidant support.
Rehmannia - A powerful herb from China used to support optimal
blood circulation.
Curcumin – Extracted from the Turmeric plant, curcumin has been
used for centuries in Southeast Asia to help cleanse the blood and detoxify the
body.
3. How will StemFlo benefit me?
By supporting the breakdown of fibrin in the blood and preventing the formation
of new fibrin mesh, StemFlo supports optimal blood circulation, supporting the
optimal delivery of stem cells to the tissues and organs of the body. Therefore,
when taken with StemEnhance, StemFlo further supports the natural renewal system
of the body. StemFlo also incidentally supports optimal delivery of nutrient and
oxygen throughout the body.
4. Will I experience immediate effects with using StemFlo?
Studies have shown that ingredients in StemFlo can bring benefits in a matter of
hours. A study using StemFlo demonstrated benefits on blood circulation within
one hour after consumption. This being said, the actual experience of health benefits,
as experienced by an individual as an increase in quality of life, may vary depending
on each individual.
5. What is the effect of stem cell circulation?
Adult stem cells constitute the natural renewal system of the body. When a tissue or organ
of the body is in need of assistance, it sends a signal to the bone marrow to trigger
the release of adult stem cells from the bone marrow. Then the tissue in question also
releases compounds that attract adult stem cells to that tissue. When they reach the fine
blood vasculature of that tissue, adult stem cells then migrate in the tissue and become
cells of that tissue. It is therefore paramount for this process to take place naturally
and effectively, that adult stem cells have the ability to circulate freely throughout
the entire blood circulation.
6. Can StemFlo be taken with StemEnhance?
Not only can StemFlo be taken with StemEnhance, but StemFlo was designed to be
a companion product to StemEnhance. Whereas StemEnhance supports the release of
adult stem cells from the bone marrow, StemFlo supports their circulation everywhere
throughout the body, further supporting the natural renewal system of the body.
7. Do I need to be on StemEnhance for a period of time
before I can use StemFlo?
No. StemEnhance and StemFlo and two independent products that can be taken alone,
though we believe that the greatest benefits will be obtained by taking them together.
For new consumers, StemEnhance and StemFlo can be taken together as one begins
supporting the role of adult stem cells in the body.
8. How does it support Blood Circulation?
StemFlo is a proprietary blend of all natural herbs and special nutrients that
help support optimal blood flow by providing the following:
- Digests Fibrin – StemFlo contains proteolytic enzymes that help digest fibrin and
minimize the effect of fibrin buildup, thereby ensuring optimal blood flow in smaller
blood vessels and capillaries. Fibrin in the blood can obstruct cellular trafficking
through capillaries.
- Reduced Oxidative Stress – StemFlo contains some of the most powerful antioxidant
ingredients available today. By helping to lower oxidative stress, StemFlo helps
keep oxidative damage and fibrin production in check.
- Helps Detoxify the Body – StemFlo contains ingredients that have been shown to
assist in the elimination of toxins from the body.
The result is a lowering of oxidative stress in the vascular system and an optimization
of blood fluidity. By helping to keep the highways and byways of our circulatory
system free and clear, StemFlo supports the smooth and effective "trafficking"
of adult stem cells everywhere in the body.
In clinical studies, StemFlo was shown to improve blood circulation within thirty
minutes of consumption. The study showed increased blood circulation in capillaries
as well as substantial reduction in blood markers associated with fibrin production
and oxidative stress.
9. What is a blood cell?
The blood is composed of a liquid, the plasma, in which cells are in suspension.
Plasma makes up about 55% of total blood volume, the rest being a family of cells
referred to as "blood cells". The main blood cells are the red blood cells that
carry oxygen throughout the bloodstream. The blood also contains platelets that
play a crucial role in the process of blood coagulation. Leukocytes or white blood
cells comprise a variety of cells that altogether constitute the immune system.
Finally, the blood contains stem cells.
10. What scientific studies/tests were conducted on
StemFlo?
Given the ingredients contained in StemFlo®], the ultimate benefit is a greater circulation
of blood in capillaries, the smallest part of the blood vasculature. As blood circulates
better through capillaries, adult stem cells can traffic more effectively throughout the
body. There is only one way to effectively estimate blood circulation though capillaries:
by measuring the diffusion of oxygen through the skin. More oxygen released by the
skin means more oxygen in the underlying capillaries, which in turn means better
circulation of blood. A recent study showed that StemFlo improves capillary circulation
within 30 minutes of consumption. This study also showed that consumption of StemFlo
reduces fibrin and oxidative stress in the blood.
11. Where are adult stem cells released in the blood
flow?
Through a complex series of events, adult stem cells are released in the blood vessels
supplying the bone marrow. Adult stem cells then circulate throughout the body and migrate
in tissues needing assistance. Supporting both the release and trafficking of adult stem
cells constitutes the best approach to supporting the natural renewal system of
the body.
12. Can I take StemFlo and replace using StemEnhance
or do they function best together?
One product does not replace the other. In fact, StemEnhance and StemFlo were
designed to work synergistically. Whereas StemEnhance supports the release of adult stem
cells from the bone marrow, StemFlo supports their circulation everywhere throughout
the body, further supporting the natural renewal system of the body.
13. Is StemFlo patented like the StemEnhance is?
StemFlo is patent pending.
14. Is there any AFA in the StemFlo?
StemFlo does not contain AFA.
15. What is the suggested usage for StemFlo?
It is recommended that StemFlo be taken as 3 capsules once or twice a day.
16. Can this product be taken with other supplements?
Yes. There are no nutrient-nutrient interactions known with the ingredients of StemFlo.
17. Does this supplement provide all the nutrients
and minerals my body needs to stop taking my other supplements?
StemFlo has very powerful antioxidants and one may not need other antioxidant supplements
while taking StemFlo. Also if one is taking nattokinase, Serrapeptidase or other
proteolytic enzymes you may not need these if you are taking StemFlo. You can take
any other supplements that you have found work well for you.
18. What if I am being treated by a healthcare practitioner
for a health concern?
If you are being treated or are taking any medications from your treating health
care provider you should consult them before taking any nutritional supplement including
StemFlo.
19. Are there any medical conditions in particular
with which one should show precaution when taking StemFlo?
Proteolytic compounds like Fibrinerase are known to have anti-coagulant properties.
Persons who suffer from clotting disorders or who are on anti-coagulant medications
(see question 21 below) should consult their treating health care practitioners
prior to taking StemFlo.
20. Can StemFlo be taken with prescription or over
the counter drugs?
Proteolytic compounds like Fibrinerase are known to have anti-coagulant properties.
Persons who suffer from clotting disorders or who are on anti-coagulant medications,
such as warfarin, coumadin, or aspirin therapy could experience an increased bleeding
risk. Such persons should consult a physician prior to taking any proteolytic enzymes,
including Fibrinerase which is an ingredient in StemFlo.
The absorption and tissue distribution of antibiotics may be increased when taken
at the same time as Fibrinerase. Persons on antibiotics should consult their physicians
prior to taking StemFlo.
21. Will someone experience a detoxification when they
take StemFlo or any side effects?
All the ingredients in StemFlo have a long history of safety. As with any nutritional
supplement or health lifestyle change, one can experience the detoxification or
adjustment process. If you experience flu like symptoms or gastrointestinal discomforts
please decrease what you are taking until the adjustment symptoms are resolved and
then start increasing slow.
22. Can StemFlo be taken on an empty stomach or is
it recommended to take after a meal?
StemFlo can be taken with food or without, but to optimize the benefit of the proteolytic
enzymes in the Fibrinerase in StemFlo, it is best to take it between meals, which
is one hour before eating or 1.5 hours after eating.
23. For chronic or severe conditions, what is the suggested
usage?
There is no suggested usage for different conditions as StemFlo is a nutritional
supplement, not a drug and we make no medical claims as it is not intended for use
for treatment or therapeutic effect; as such the claims for StemFlo have not been
evaluated by the FDA. Stemflo is not intended to diagnose, cure, prevent or treat
any illness or disease.
24. Can a person of any age take StemFlo?
Yes, just follow the directions on the label and do so under adult supervision.
25. Does StemFlo contain any artificial ingredients,
preservatives, gluten, coloring or dairy?
No.
26. Why does the label of StemFlo say to consult your physician if you are pregnant
or nursing?
There is no evidence to suggest that the ingredients in StemFlo are safe or unsafe
in pregnancy and nursing. Many dietary supplements have such warning out of an abundance
of caution rather than any known pregnancy risk.
Q&A ON FDA'S DRAFT GUIDANCE
COMPLIMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE PRODUCTS AND THEIR REGULATION BY THE
FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION
http://www.fda.gov/OHRMS/DOCKETS/98fr/06d-0480-gld0001.pdf
Q: Does this Draft Guidance change how FDA regulates dietary supplements such
as StemEnhance?
A: No – The Draft Guidance provides FDA's proposed definition of CAM products (Complimentary
and Alternative Medicine Products) and explains how these products, depending on
how they are labeled and marketed and for what specific intended uses, will fall
into existing FDA regulatory categories such as "drugs," "biologics," "devices"
or "foods" (which include "dietary supplements").
Q: Can dietary supplement products still be marketed with structure/function
claims such as "supports the natural release of adult stem cells"?
A: Yes – The Draft Guidance has no impact on legal structure/function claims for
foods or dietary supplements, and does not change how products making such claims
will be regulated.
Q: If individual distributors or the manufacturer make oral or written claims
for a dietary supplement that the product will help prevent or treat a disease,
how will the product be regulated according to the Draft Guidance?
A: As an illegal drug -- Disease prevention or treatment claims, such as curing
or preventing cancer, diabetes, arthritis or other disease, would cause FDA to regulate
the dietary supplement as an illegal drug, with the exception that if there is an
FDA-approved health claim, disease prevention claims might be legal. Disease treatment
claims for dietary supplements were illegal before the issuance of the Draft Guidance
and continue to be illegal. Claims to decrease risk or prevent disease should not
be made in the context of the sale of dietary supplements without first confirming
that such claims are legal as a result of an FDA-approved health claim.
