Top 3 Supplements To Naturally Boost Stem Cell Production

Stem cells are special cells in the body that are capable of developing into different cell types such as brain cells, muscle cells, among many others. In addition to that, they also have the ability to repair damaged tissues. Researchers believe in the concept that stem cell therapies can be used to treat devastating conditions like paralysis and Alzheimer's disease.

Types of stem cells

Stem cells are divided into 2 main types: adult stem cells and embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells come from unused embryos which results from the vitro fertilization procedure and are donated to scientific research. They are also pluripotent which means that they can transform into more than one type of cell.

There are 2 types of adult stem cells. The first one comes from fully developed tissues like the skin, brain, and bone marrow. There are only a few numbers of stem cells in these tissues, and they have the ability to generate into certain types of cells. So, if the stem cell is derived from the liver, they can only form more liver cells.

The second one is induced pluripotent stem cells. This type of adult stem cells is being manipulated in a laboratory to take on the pluripotent characteristics of the embryonic stem cells. It was in 2006 when scientists first reported that these stem cells can be programmed this way. Even though that induced pluripotent stem cells don't seem to be clinically different from embryonic stem cells, scientists weren't able to find one that can transform into every kind cell and tissue.

What are the 3 supplements that can help boost stem cell production?

• Spirulina
• Quercetin
• Astragalus Root

Here is some more information to help you get a better understanding on how these supplements perform in stem cell production.

Spirulina - 

This one grows in both salt and fresh water wherein it's sometimes referred to as blue-green algae. Just like plants, spirulina can produce energy with the help of sunlight via the process we know as photosynthesis.

The standard daily dose for spirulina should be around 1 to 3 grams but an increase dosage of 10 grams daily have been used effectively.

Here are the benefits of spirulina:

• Antioxidant
