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, increase immune system response, and relieve joint and muscle aches.

Stemulite has the answer and is the second natural stem cell enhancing product on the market. It is a stronger formulation than Endothil, the first product to reach the market, which was created by the same formulators as Stemulite. Stemulite Fitness Formula is much different and now has seven key all-natural ingredients of very effective and targeted natural proteins, enzymes and amino acids.

Stemulite goes to work when we are working out and pushing our bodies

When working out or during athletic regimens, our muscles and ligaments suffer tiny micro tears, creating the soreness from exercise. Stemulite quickly goes to work recruiting the sleeping adult stem cells in our bodies and starts building new muscle and aiding in recovery. Keep in mind this is new muscle, not the temporary enlarged effect that anabolic steroids create.

“In just one year I have seen a significant increase in strength, recovery and my ability to perform better as an athlete,” says professional football player Gary Brackett. “Of course this has been my experience; however I am not alone in these types of results. I have recommended Stemulite to several of my team players and they too are achieving similar results while consistently using this product.”

Stemulite and NitraPlex joining forces for maximum results

“NitraPlex is quite different than Stemulite,” says Omar Deckard, a professional bodybuilder for 25 years. “NitraPlex is the cleanest energy and nitric oxide booster I have ever used. Believe me, I have tried several, there is no heart racing, no jitters and no crash that is usually associated with these types of energy products.”

Deckard says, “He started his NitraPlex and Stemulite stacked regimen last year and is thrilled by the energy boost.”

“I could not believe the energy I had in the gym,” he says. “My workouts became so strong it was easy for me to lift heavier and work out longer and my recovery time was minimal. For several years, I have been at the same weight and I could not believe how I was growing. Stacking Stemulite and NitraPlex has been a big-big help.”

Stemulite Fitness Formula with NitraPlex is the most powerful stacking combination discovered. Using the two together promotes:

* Increased strength, energy and stronger workouts *
* Increased recovery speed and increased deep sleep
* Increased endurance, muscle repair and growth

Your immune system is your body’s defense system against illness and disease.

(THP) WHAT can we do to help our bodies cope better with infectious illnesses?

It definitely helps to have a strong and healthy immune system. Here’s how it works – the immune system is like the security system in your home. This system is continuously monitoring the environment for anything that is out of place, and when an unusual situation is detected, it dispatches the most appropriate defense mechanisms.

The immune system recognizes viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, and mutant cells, and it has a variety of “soldiers” (immune cells such as macrophages, neutrophils and natural killer cells), each with it own weapons and methods of attack to destroy these invaders.

Harmful free radicals and the human immune system

The harmful free radicals from our environment are a major cause of ill-health. These free radicals can come from exposure to the sun’s rays (UV light), pollution, radiation, stress, and poor diet.

Immune cells also suffer from free radical damage. This results in lowered immunity. The good thing is that we are not completely powerless. Antioxidant supplements can help protect our immune system from the damage of free radical “bombardment”.

Antioxidant army

We have our own army of defense against free radicals and they are called antioxidants. Antioxidants have the ability to render free radicals harmless. As long as there are adequate amounts of antioxidants within our bodies to handle the free radicals produced within the cell, there is little or no damage to surrounding tissues.

The body has the ability to make some of its own antioxidants, five of which are Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Catalase, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Coenzyme Q10 and Glutathione Peroxidase. However, the body may not be able to produce enough antioxidants on its own to neutralize all of the free radicals that are produced.

Although many antioxidants can be obtained from food sources, it is difficult to get enough to hold back free radicals constantly generated in our polluted environment. That is why we need to get the rest of the antioxidants from supplements.

Alpha lipoic acid

Dr Lester Packer, professor of the University of California, Berkeley, department of molecular and cell biology, is among the world’s leading antioxidant researchers and has described alpha lipoic acid as very close to an ideal antioxidant. Alpha lipoic acid can also recharge other antioxidants that have been used up. In the body, it helps regenerate other antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E and glutathione.

In addition to that, alpha lipoic acid is the only antioxidant that can boost the level of intracellular glutathione, a cellular antioxidant of tremendous importance. Besides being the body’s primary water-soluble antioxidant and a major detoxification agent, glutathione is absolutely essential for the functioning of the immune system.

The active ingredients found in standardized extracts of grape seed are Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins (OPCs). Research indicates that OPCs may be 20 to 50 times more potent as an antioxidant than vitamin C and E.

The body produces many types of free radicals – singlet oxygen, superoxides, hydroxyl, hydrogen peroxide, peroxyl, etc, and almost all are damaging to the immune system and other parts of the body. Different antioxidants neutralize different species of free radicals. Hence when it comes to antioxidant supplementation, it makes sense to take a supplement that contains a variety of antioxidants.

Natalie Waples, IFBB Fitness Pro

Hot young fitness star lends her profile to battle health and fitness trends with True Healthy Products at Europa Show of Champions

ORLANDO, Fla., April 24 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) –
Natalie Waples is one of the brightest young stars in the fitness firmament. The eye-catching Canadian made her pro debut last season, winning her first professional event at the IFBB North American Figure Championships. She has graced the September ’08 cover of Inside Fitness Magazine and her new DVD, “Building a Beautiful Body #1, with Natalie Waples,” is racking up sales in both countries. Now she’s taking the next big step and teaming up with True Healthy Products (truehealthyproducts.com), the company that powered the Stemulite craze last year, working with them to launch the first of its kind, all natural protein supplement: Protein Power Mix.

Natalie Waples and Roger Craig”I am very conscious of what I put into my body,” says Waples, who hails from Ottawa. “I talk to groups all the time and it’s amazing how many kids 12 and 14 years old are using energy drinks and supplements. And people ask about steroids too. I just tell them that I would never put any of that in my body and that they have to discover all natural solutions. That’s why I am excited about Protein Power Mix.”

True Healthy Products used the Europa Show of Champions Sports and Supplement Expo in Orlando, Florida as a venue to launch its newest entry into the protein wars and the response was overwhelmingly positive. In addition to having Waples at the booth, the team also consisted of former Mister Florida, Corey Simpson and college and pro football legend Roger Craig.

CEO Jan Hrkach was overjoyed with the show of star power. “To have these three people, all at the top of their game, at our booth to introduce our new product was a dream come true. When everyone saw those three, they began to gravitate to our booth and try our product. We got rave reviews all over the place. While Natalie was impressing the judges from the stage, she was also impressing attendees and her fellow fitness models that all-natural is the way to go. Said Waples, “I love what True Healthy Products stands for and I feel strongly that using all natural foods and supplements should be a priority for all athletes, and really for everyone!”

Whether bodybuilders, power lifters, strongman competitors or fitness models, it was practically unanimous that a quality protein drink was a major part of their routines and that the smooth tasting, naturally sweet, all natural Protein Power Mix was an exciting newcomer. Several walked away impressed with the benefits of going natural. Even veteran bodybuilder Andy Haman was impressed by the taste. “I’ve been using protein my whole career and this is one I feel like I can recommend to everyone.”

Natalie will also be with the THP team when they introduce Protein Power Mix, as well as several of the other stellar products in their health and fitness lineup, at the Europa Show in Dallas, Texas this August 14 and 15.

According to Hrkach, “We first met Natalie while we were promoting Stemulite. She was using it with tremendous results and I was so impressed by her that I asked if she would try some of our other products. As we began to develop Protein Power Mix, Natalie was one of the first people we asked to sample it. Her feedback was invaluable and her hearty, unsolicited endorsement convinced us that we had to get her on our team. It’s an honor to have someone of that stature as one of our first celebrity endorsers.” Hrkach went on to say: “The fact that Natalie teaches and works with others, and is an all-natural athlete, means so much to a company like True Healthy products because that’s what we are all about. I won’t market anything that isn’t 100 percent natural and good for people.”

In only two short years Natalie has gone from amateur enthusiast to Champion, all while going the all natural route. That’s just one reason she is fast becoming a role model for other women interested in fitness modeling and weight training. And that’s also why teaming up with Protein Power Mix was a natural fit. “This is a ‘state-of-the-art all natural formula’ developed by nutrition expert Andrew Wood. Wood, himself a power lifter and former college baseball player has created something I can be proud to put my name on.”

According to Waples, another thing that distinguishes this blend from other proteins on the market is a dual formula approach. There’s a daytime and “slow-burn” nighttime formula that works well individually or in combination as a meal replacement or protein energy boost. There is nothing artificial – no sucrose or maltodextrin – and they added an all natural stem cell recruiter for maximum muscle gain. “It is also extremely friendly to the digestive system, and it tastes great – and that’s no small matter when you’re drinking a supplemental protein every day.”

Waples is looking to expand her schedule and will be working with Hrkach to promote several of the other all natural products in the THP line.

Dan Clevenger, Lobbyist

“Like most former athletes in middle age, my body began to succumb joint by joint to the cumulative effects of pushing the skeletal system beyond its performance limits, gradually at first, then at an accelerated rate with advancing age. I seemed to zip through the replacement phase, modifying my workout regimen to accommodate what I overestimated to be my revised capacity.

Last fall my arthritis, worsening stenosis and longtime nemesis Raynaud’s Disease, a circulatory problem, seemed to gang up on me and left me a virtual cripple within a month. I could barely shuffle along and endured intense pain constantly in my arms and legs. I couldn’t sleep. After extensive testing my diagnosis was inherent neuropathy, exacerbated by my regular consumption of alcohol. The strongest painkillers were ineffective. I probably lost 80% of my strength in my legs. All the trauma shown in my MRIs, EMGs, Mylograms and CAT scans of my spine didn’t account for my symptoms so surgery was not a credible option. When I quit drinking my symptoms stabilized but did not improve.

Six weeks later a business associate Jan Hrkach urged me to give Stemulite a try. I would estimate that my condition improved by 10% a day. I saw my neurologist on day five and my neurosurgeon on day eight (02/29/2008). Both were amazed and I made sure to give credit where it was due, 100% to Stemulite. I have already recovered some of my lost strength and have only some soreness in my knees and feet, which improves daily. By the end of week two I anticipate resuming my full work out schedule and getting back to whatever version of full strength awaits me this time.

Retrospectively, had I taken Stemulite when Jan first suggested it in the early fall none of this may have occurred. But then I wouldn’t fully know what the product could do for me and you wouldn’t know fully what it may be able to do for you.”

Ellis Wyms, Professional Football Player

I have been playing Professional Football for seven years, one year with Seattle and six years with Tampa. While with Tampa as a defensive lineman I played with what I considered one of the best defenses in the past several years in Professional Football. That year we won the Super Bowl championship that was probably the highlight of my career at this point and I am now looking forward to bigger and better things.

Since I have been using Stemulite I have noticed my recovery has increased dramatically. I have been able to work out longer and have my body recover and come back the next day and work that same muscle group and not have the fatigue, the soreness and hurting. I definitely notice a huge increase in my recovery. I am able to be on the field longer, run a lot harder and push myself a lot harder in those workouts. The more I am out there the better I am getting as a player, the more reps I can put in the better I am going to play on Sundays. There are so many different products out there and so many things you can take. You have to find something that works for you consistently, I think Stemulite is that product for me.

I don’t see any need to take anything else. I take my Stemulite, I drink my protein shake and I am on the go. This is a great product for me, there are so many different positives that come with Stemulite; the recovery, energy, the boost in strength, the boost in endurance and in helping you really get rest and sleep at night. This is a great product. I recommend it to everybody, take Stemulite you will see the difference.

-Ellis Wyms, Professional Football Player, Super Bowl Winner

Simeon Rice, Professional Footbal Player

Stemulite was brought to me by my trainer several months ago. I really value his opinion he has been training me for about two years while I am in the Tampa area preparing myself for a season. I kicked around the idea of taking Stemulite for two or three months before I was even going to take it because of what is going on in the NFL with band substances and things of that nature. There are always things that sneak by players that we don’t know about so I gave it to a Doctor friend of mine for testing.

Stemulite passed the banned list of substances easy and before I even took the product he tested it on several clients he has and works with. The results he came back to me with were favorable, their sleep had changed, they had different energy levels that were rising in there workouts and he himself started taking Stemulite.

He called me and told me that I suffer from things that Stemulite will help me with. He said this product is the next level for me, that this needs to be added into my program. Anybody that’s looking to get on a natural product that’s good for your body and that needs fuel for your body to help you in every way in terms of recovery, performance and sleeping this is a one stop shop. With all my influence, I encourage people to try this product out give it a chance. Don’t do it one or two days or just a week, get on a serious plan with Stemulite and see what it can do for you.

-Simeon Rice, Professional Football Player, Super Bowl Winner

Roger Craig, Professional Football Player, Super Bowl Winner

I am a three time super bowl champion winner and training played a big part of my success. I also trained Jerry Rice.

I run six marathons a year now and I love challenging myself. Stemulite has definitely helped me boost my work outs. I run 40 miles a week and I can now breathe easier. It have been a great product for me, it is bringing me to the next level. I have more energy and endurance and the resting is unbelievable. My sleeping pattern is much better now, I feel more alert when I wake up.

I even let my 18 year old son start taking it. I am telling everyone about Stemulite I am going to win with this stuff.

-Roger Craig, Professional Football Player, Super Bowl Winner

As anyone who understands fitness can tell you, one of the most important parts of your exercise routine is your recovery time. The more strenuous the workout the more recovery time the body needs to replenish cells and build resistance. Sleep is a vital part of any exercise program. A good, restful, regenerative sleep should be part of every athletes plan.

According to nutrition specialist Andrew Wood, 70% of your recovery happens during sleep.

A 2003 study performed by the University Of Pennsylvania School Of Medicine demonstrated that cognitive performance declines for most people with fewer than eight hours of sleep. Sleep is divided into two broad types: Rapid Eye Movement (REM) and Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) or “Non-REM” sleep, which has different levels. Each type has a distinct set of associated physiological, neurological and psychological features.

Sleep cycles through the night with deep sleep early on and more REM, toward morning or later in the cycle. In humans, each sleep cycle lasts on average 90 to 110 minutes. Each phase of sleep may have a distinct physiological function. Drugs such as sleeping pills and alcoholic beverages can suppress certain stages of sleep, leading to sleep deprivation. This can result in sleep that exhibits loss of consciousness but does not fulfill its physiological functions.

Timing is a big part of sleep. You body’s inner clock (also known as the circadian clock) is critical to determining the proper amount of time an individual needs for each sleep cycle. It is this circadian “rhythm” which determines the ideal timing of correctly structured and restorative sleep. You become sleepy when the circadian internal clock causes the release of the hormone melatonin, and a gradual decrease in core body temperature. Furthermore, too much or too little sleep can lead to severe health issues including cardiovascular disease, obesity, hypertension and diabetes.

It has been shown in studies that loss of sleep can cause detrimental effects to the immune system and to your metabolism as well. Sleep abnormalities can also lead to psychological disorders such as depression, addiction and bi-polar disorder. So in every way, sleep is important to the mind and body and REM sleep seems to be extremely important, especially to children and young adults. REM sleep in adult humans typically occupies 20-25% of total sleep time, or about 90 to 120 minutes of sleep each night. Vividly recalled dreams mostly occur during the REM period.

A good night’s sleep is required for good health, fitness and alertness. Yet sleep often gets short shrift when the discussion is on fitness and workouts. “Sleep is one of the two most important factors in recovery” says nutritional expert Andrew Wood. “Proper nutrition and sleep are the only real issues when it comes to proper fitness. That goes for whatever type of training you do – whether you are a tri-athlete, long distance runner or power lifter.”

Professional Fitness Trainer and former Mr. Florida, Corey Simpson also acknowledges the need for a restful, restorative sleep. Corey maintains a rigid workout routine and trains hard. The results are obvious. He recommends to all his clients that they pay close attention to their diet and to their sleep. “Nothing is more important” says Simpson. In looking for a supplement that would help him not only build muscle and gain energy, he discovered an amazing product called Stemulite Fitness Formula. One of the things that attracted Simpson to Stemulite was that it had a sleep component. “Stemulite also gives you a great sleep which is so important for recuperation.”

Stemulite is all natural and contains nothing that is harmful or will cause grogginess during the day. It contains Melatonin, which as we know, is the body’s natural sleep inducing agent. Athletes who have tried Stemulite report that they sleep better, wake up rested and energetic and recover better from strenuous exercise faster.

As another Stemulite user has said, “It has helped me with my sleep; it has helped me with my strength, my workout recovery, muscle endurance and my overall energy and sense of well being.” Those last words “sense of well being” are key because when you get better sleep you have better peace of mind, think clearer and are generally more responsive. According to one study, reported on NBC News, almost all the participants in the study said they slept better and one even reported that he had stopped taking Ambien, a commonly prescribed sleep formula for the first time in six years.

Stemulite is available in a men’s and women’s formula. Even with the other benefits of its exclusive formula, the fact is, that the enhanced sleep benefit may be its most important aspect of all. Click Here To Learn More

Corey Simpson, Mr. Florida

In the first couple of days on stemulite I increased the weight I was lifting by 30% and I doubled the amount of repetitions in my workout. In weeks, my muscle definition changed and I dropped excess water weight. Stemulite also gives you a great sleep which is so important for recuperation. Nothing produces better results than Stemulite!

Rodger Craig, Professional Football Player, 3 time Super Bowl Winner

Former all-star college and pro running back, Roger Craig, has teamed up with True Healthy Products, the company that ushered in the Stemulite Fitness Formula craze, to promote their latest product release, Protein Power Mix. Craig, who sports three championship rings, is still in excellent athletic condition today and runs several marathons each year. Craig came on board after his profoundly positive experiences using Stemulite as an all natural supplement while training for the San Jose (CA) marathon. Mr. Craig will be attending and meeting guests asking them to try Protein Power Mix at the ‘Protein Power Mix’ booth # 6 at the Europa Show of Champions Sports and Supplement Expo. The Orlando Sports Expo is taking place at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, this Friday and Saturday, April 17 and 18.

Last year, while searching for an all natural supplement that would increase endurance, muscle tone and aid in recovery, Craig ran across an ad for Stemulite Fitness Formula and decided to try it. He was so pleased with the results that he began to recommend it to others, then contacted True Healthy Products CEO, Jan Hrkach, personally to rave about the results. That call eventually led to Craig endorsing Stemulite and making TV commercials for True Healthy Products. The relationship has blossomed ever since.

According to Hrkach, ‘Roger was one of the first people that were consulted as we began to develop Protein Power Mix. His ringing endorsement of our all natural formula gave our entire team a lift, and we were delighted to have him join us as a marketing partner.’ Hrkach continued his praise of Craig and the influence he has had on other athletes as well as consumers. ‘To a small but growing business like True Healthy Products, having an athlete with the high regard and creditability of Roger Craig means a lot. He’s so involved with so many worthwhile projects, that we are thrilled he has chosen to work with us.’

Craig has been so impressed by this all natural formula that he has encouraged his son and daughter to take it as well. ‘The flavor is awesome. It gives me the energy to get through my workout every day and sits well in my stomach with no bloating like other proteins I have used. Yesterday I ran 12 miles, and I felt so good! Sometimes after an intense run, I feel really hungry but I felt fine – I felt energized!’ said Craig. When asked about the taste of Protein Power Mix, he stated enthusiastically, ‘It is simply awesome! It has a creamy vanilla taste I like. It’s great combined with fruit like bananas, and it’s smooth … goes down easily.’ As a regular user of 9 a Day Plus, Craig says, ‘I mix both powder products in the blender with juice. That way I get all I need in one shot with a real good flavor.’

18-year-old Alex Craig is following in his dad’s footsteps as a world class athlete. He runs the 400 and 200 in college and has been using Protein Power Mix as part of his training regimen. He says, ‘I was skeptical at first, you know … here’s another protein drink, but it goes down easy and tastes real good with OJ. It gives me great energy.’ Craig’s daughter, Rometra is a former USC basketball star and California Female Athlete of the Year. She too enjoys the taste and energy boost she gets from Protein Power Mix. She combines it with 9 a Day Plus vitamin and mineral supplement for a complete meal replacement that doesn’t add unwanted fat but delivers a powerful energy lift.

Protein Power Mix is a ‘state-of-the-art formula’ developed by nutrition expert, Andrew Wood. Wood, a power lifter and former baseball player, says that his formula distinguishes itself from other products on the market with a daytime and ‘slow-burn’ nighttime formula that work well individually or in combination as a meal replacement or protein energy boost. Its all natural formula contains no sucrose or maltodextrin and has a all natural stem cell recruiter for maximum muscle gain. It is also extremely friendly to the digestive system, and as noted by Mr. Craig, ‘It tastes great, and that’s no small matter when you’re drinking a supplemental protein every day.’ Indeed, Wood’s inspiration for developing Protein Power Mix was his aversion to the many protein drinks on the market. He states, ‘Either they didn’t taste so hot, or they were loaded with sugars or artificial sweeteners that didn’t sit well in my stomach. I had to find a better way, so I decided to create one myself.’
