Stem cells help to rejuvenate the body through two functions: differentiation, in which they transform into tissue-specific cells, and self-renewal, in which they reproduce in a non-tissue specific way. Over time, however, stem cell’s tissue rejuvenation functions decrease with age.
 
Life Extension, a Ft. Lauderdale, Florida-based company, announced its new product, Geroprotect Stem Cell, which claims to help maintain youthful, healthy stem cell function. The company partnered with Maryland-based Insilico Medicine to utilize Insilico’s artificial intelligence during the product’s formulation.
 
“Scientists from Life Extension and Insilico Medicine collaborated to use artificial intelligence and other expertise to identify a combination of phytonutrients that support stem cell health,” said Dr. Andrew G. Swick, chief scientific officer at Life Extension. “This is another example of our scientific team utilizing cutting edge technologies to provide innovative products to our customers.”
 
The nutrients included in Geoprotect Stem Cell’s formula encourage balanced stem cell differentiation and self-renewal, and additionally are known to promote healthy stem cell function, cellular protein regulation, DNA health, AMPK signaling, and more, according to Life Extension.
 
Insilico Medicine used deep machine learning to identify specific ingredients that promote healthy stem cell function, and those were the piceatannol found in passion fruit, trans-resveratrol, and garcinol from kokum fruit. According to their findings, this formulation helps promote cell signaling pathways to support healthy tissue maintenance and longevity. Geroprotect Stem Cell also encourages the body’s natural process for managing senescent stem cells, according to Life Extension.
 
Additionally, Life Extension advises that the product can serve as a standalone supplement, or it can be paired with other Geroprotect products, as well as Life Extensions Senolytic Activator
