Frequently Asked Questions

What are adult stem cells?

A stem cell is often called a "master" cell in that it has the ability to develop into tissues and organs. Thus, stem cells are the fundamental building blocks that exist within our bodies. Now we know there are stem cells within the body, which are called "adult stem cells", which help to maintain a healthy immune system.

Why are our stem cells important?

According to the National Institutes of Health, the primary roles of adult stem cells are to maintain and repair the tissue. As we age, our adult stem cells decrease in number and lose their natural ability to help maintain a healthy immune system, leaving the body more open to injury and other health-related issues.

Why do I need this product?

NutraStem® nutritional supplements strive to support the normal growth and function of our body's own adult stem cells at a cellular level.

The science of NutraStem®

Recently, our team at Natura Therapeutics, Inc. published a scientific article that shows the effectiveness of NutraStem® on human stem cells (Bickford et al., 2006; Stem Cells & Development). We exposed three different types of adult stem cells, commonly found within the body, to natural compounds known to promote healing and measured the growth of these cells. Our results demonstrate a significant growth in these cells exposed to blueberry extract, green tea, catechin, carnosine and Vitamin D3, and that a specific combination of these ingredients at certain doses could promote even more growth of these stem cells. The combination of ingredients at certain doses that produced the maximum growth of the stem cells was chosen as the base formulation for NutraStem®. Learn More
