Revolutionizing Nutraceuticals with Stem Cell

Dr. Gitte Jensen, a seasoned researcher and founder of NIS Labs, is kindling a fresh perspective in the world of nutraceuticals. She is focusing on the potent effects of natural compounds on stem cell proliferation, potentially ramping up the body's repair and immune systems.

Delving into the medicinal properties of sea buckthorn, a Himalayan superfruit, Dr. Jensen has spotlighted its potential to awaken our body's inherent repair machinery. In a rigorous, double-blind study published in Clinical Interventions in Aging, she explored how proanthocyanidins from sea buckthorn affect stem cell activation. The study revealed that sea buckthorn extract significantly increased the number of circulating stem cells  by ~40% within two hours. [1]

Dr. Jensen's work suggests that the stimulated stem cell types, such as endothelial, mesenchymal, and hematopoietic, may revert to a pluripotent state, supporting additional repair processes. This research aligns with studies showing fewer cardiovascular events in individuals with a higher number of circulating stem cells.

Dr. Jensen asserts that understanding stem cell activation could revolutionize research design, yielding more robust clinical trials. "Every time you take a concentrated dose of sea buckthorn extract, you boost the number of stem cells in your circulation," she explains. Future research could uncover how this rapid mobilization occurs and how it could be harnessed.
