  • Combined effects of nutrients on proliferation of stem cells
    Patent number: 8574640
    Abstract: A method and composition for stimulating the proliferation and differentiation of stem cells is used to self-repair injury in mammals. A supplement is administered having an effective dose of blueberry, carnosine, catechin, green tea extract, VitaBlue, Vitamin D3 or combinations of these. For example, a therapeutic amount of two or more of the supplements may be selected having a synergistic effect, allowing a lower dose to achieve the same or greater effective protection as a higher dose of any one of the supplements.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 8, 2010
    Date of Patent: November 5, 2013
    Assignees: University of South Florida, The Department of Veterans Affairs, Natura Therapeutics, Inc.
    Inventors: Cyndy Davis Sanberg, Paula Bickford, Paul Sanberg, Jun Tan, R. Douglas Shytle

  • COMPOUNDS FOR STIMULATING STEM CELL PROLIFERATION INCLUDING AFA-OMEGA (EtOH)
    Publication number: 20080089905
    Abstract: A method and composition for stimulating the proliferation and differentiation of stem cells is used to self-repair injury in mammals. A supplement is administered having an effective dose of substances selected from blueberry, carnosine, catechin, green tea extract, VitaBlue, Vitamin D3, Spirulina, AFA or effective combinations and derivatives of these. For example, a supplement comprising wild blueberry, green tea extract, carnosine, vitamin D3, and AFA-Omega (EtOH) or Spirulina and AFA-Omega (EtOH) exhibits a synergistic and unexpected association with substantially increased proliferation of bone marrow stem cells and CD34+. A therapeutic amount of a substance that is associated with a substantial increase in stem cells may be used to prevent and repair damaged tissues of the brain, due to stroke, the heart, due to coronary artery disease or a heart attack.

  • COMPOUNDS FOR STIMULATING STEM CELL PROLIFERATION INCLUDING SPIRULINA
    Publication number: 20080085330
    Abstract: A method and composition for stimulating the proliferation and differentiation of stem cells is used to self-repair injury in mammals. A supplement is administered having an effective dose of substances selected from blueberry, carnosine, catechin, green tea extract, VitaBlue, Vitamin D3, Spirulina, AFA or effective combinations and derivatives of these. For example, a supplement comprising wild blueberry, green tea extract, carnosine, vitamin D3, and a Spirulina and/or an AFA-Omega (EtOH) exhibited a synergistic and unexpected association with substantially increased proliferation of bone marrow stem cells and CD34+. A therapeutic amount of a substance that is associated with a substantial increase in stem cells may be used to prevent and repair damages tissues of the brain, due to stroke, the heart, due to coronary artery disease or a heart attack.
