Why More Circulating Stem Cells help with Oxygen Delivery
Why More Circulating Stem Cells Is key to Oxygen Delivery to Tissues
Over the past two years, a number of studies have shown that a greater number of circulating stem cells equate to greater cardiovascular health. In 2001, Vasa et al reported that compared to healthy people, ones with cardiovascular problems had fewer endothelial progenitor cells in their blood stream. EPC’s are a type of stem cells responsible for the development of new blood vessels. ( I can email you the link to the study)
In 2004 Schmidt-Lucke et al measured the stem cells , EPC’s and found that their reduced numbers was linked to poor prognosis in terms of cardiovascular health. (I can send that link as well)
Historically scientists have believed that new blood vessels are formed from the sprouting of existing capillaries, a process called angiogenesis. However, scientists have shown that new blood vessels can also be formed from circulating EPC’s, a process called vasculogensis, and that in fact this might be the main mechanism of capillary development.
In blood conservation/loss situations this can lead to a lack of oxygen. When tissue lacks oxygen, it releases compounds that accomplish two specific tasks: 1) attraction of EPC’s into the tissue and 2) conversion of EPC’s into capillary cells. The greater the level of EPC’s in the blood leads to a greater delivery of oxygen and nutrients, thereby helping the tissue to maintain better health!
It is clear then that increasing the number of circulating stem cells in patients could become a valuable tool in assisting your efforts to help patients in need. Two capsules have been documented to help release 3-4 million stem cells (6-8 times the number of amniotic stem cells) It is clear then that more is better when it comes to stem cells.
I am not a doctor and am presenting this material for your information to come to your own conclusions. Please email me if any questions.
Thanks. Keep up the good work.
