Measure
Active Supplement
NutraStem, 2 tablets daily, Vitamin D3 (2000 IU), BioVin® (40 mg) and the proprietary blend (900mg). NutraStem: Determine whether NutraStem® in combination with an exercise stimulus will cause increased human peripheral blood sample levels of CD34+ and CD133+ adult stem cells and whether these stem cells display more protection against oxidative stress. Determine whether NutraStem® in combination with an exercise stimulus will cause increased human peripheral blood sample levels of CD34+ and CD133+ adult stem cells and whether these stem cells display more protection against oxidative stress.
Sugar Pill
The placebo is identical in appearance to the NutraStem® supplement and contains the following ingredients in a Vegi Capsule: MCC200 DICALCIUM PHOSPHATE BROWN LAKE BLEND (SENSIENT # 09127 ) RED DYE DB-088 (COLORCON) MAGNESIUM STEARATE BLUE #1 ALUM LAKE (POWDER) Placebo: Determine whether NutraStem® in combination with an exercise stimulus will cause increased human peripheral blood sample levels of CD34+ and CD133+ adult stem cells and whether these stem cells display more protection against oxidative stress.
