Everyone is aware of the controversy surrounding embryonic stem cells. Stem cells are found in human embryos, but not everyone is aware that stem cells are also found in adult tissue. The most abundant supply of adult stem cells is formed in the bone marrow.

Stem cells are "master" cells. In other words, they have the ability to become any cell within the body. According to the National Institute of Health, stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body. Stem cells can theoretically divide without limit to replenish other cells as long as a person is alive. When the stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential to remain in the bone marrow or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as: a eye cell, a muscle cell, a liver cell, a skin cell, etc. Through a natural process, stem cells circulate to areas of the body where they are needed and replace dysfunctional cells. Adult stem cells also have the ability to rebuild, renew and rejuvenate the body. Recent scientific developments have discovered that stem cells derived from the bone marrow travel throughout the body, and act to support optimal organ and tissue function. The circulation of millions 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. This recent advance in stem cell research was listed as one the most significant health-related stories in the past 25 years by CNN, second only to the complete mapping of the human genome.

Our body requires vitamins, antioxidants and good food, because they provide the nutrients for healthy tissue, but they do not provide the building blocks to renew tissues, bones, organs, or any part of the body. Traditional nutritional supplements nourish existing cells; they do not renew body tissue. As we get older, the number and quality of stem cells traveling through our body gradually declines. This decline makes us more susceptible to injury and other health challenges as we age. A constant release of our existing stem cells into the bloodstream can produce incredible health benefits.

By supporting the body's natural renewal system, we are able to support the natural process of recovery from exercise to build strength and stamina.

To summarize, there are no doubts regarding the value of our own adult stem cells.
