Eggplant Extract: 10 mg

Eggplant is a member of the Solanaceae family, which includes some of the most nutritious plants--potato, eggplant, tomato. It contains a powerful alkaloid which acts as an agonist on the acetylcholine (AChR) receptor which when activated is the most effective stem-cell and growth factor combination yet discovered.

How it Works

With the discovery of the adult stem cell found in the bone marrow of adults by Catherine Verfaillie at the University of Minnesota in 2002 it became obvious that stem cells carried an enormous potential to accelerate and enhance the building of new muscle and other tissues in the human body. John Cooke, et al., of Stanford University later identified a specific agonist and receptor for adult stem cells and demonstrated a mechanism of action for the de novo building of blood vessels in blood-starved limbs of animals. It followed that not only blood vessels but any tissue theoretically could be built or be remolded with adult stem cells.

Eggplant alkoloids binding the acetlycholine agonist receptor enhances cognitive functions, such as learning, memory, and retention through activation of brain nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR). The most common nicotinic receptors found in the brain are the low affinity a 7-nAChR and the high affinity a 4b2-nAChR. a 7- and a 4b2- nAChR agonists possess cognitive-enhancing properties. Several large pharmaceutical companies are developing alpha 7 agonist binding agents. Target treatments include stem-cell activations and recruitment, Parkinson Disease, Schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s.

Fitness/Training Applications:

Two new types of stem cells have been found that can seek out injured muscle tissue and replace the damaged cells. Both types respond to the alkaloids found in eggplant extract. Researchers in Italy used stem cells from blood vessels to repair muscle in mice with muscular dystrophy. Canadian scientist found that stem cells from damaged muscle give rise to new muscle fibers. The studies reveal how different types of stem cells repair injured muscle and point to common: Damaged tissue sends out molecular signals that attract new stem cells. The stem cells then multiply and form new muscle fibers, replacing and repairing injured tissue.

Until recently the signals that recruit stem cells to sites of injury have been unknown. Understanding these signals seems to be the key to finding new ways to replace damaged tissues by encouraging the growth of stem cells already in the body. Athletes should also be interested in these findings, which lend credence to the “no pain, no gain” approach to strength training and may lead to new strategies for bulking up. Researchers found that stem cells from normal tissue would not multiply in culture, but those isolated from injured muscle readily proliferated and gave rise to new muscle cells.

Mental acuity and sharpness are required in almost all sports. Stem cell recruitment combined with exogenous ingestion of natural alkaloids that bind and activate the alpha 7 AChR receptors in the brain and promote clarity and mental concentration.

Summary:

The Stemulite™ combination of mitochondrial energizers, free radical scavengers, amino acid “stackers,” immune stimulators, stem-cell recruiters, inflammatory down-regulators, rest and sleep enhancers, and a rare earth mineral that produces mood elevation and HPA synchronizing of all hormonal functions is without doubt the most complete and effective workout and fitness supplement available in the world!
