Stemulite Research Reviews
Once again, I had to address the Stemulite “scam” on yet another forum full of ignorant (in the true, non-pejorative sense of the term - in most cases) people who seem to have nothing better to do than put down a product they know literally nothing about.
I don’t mean to be harsh (oops - too late), but, as a former mechanical engineer, it just doesn’t make sense to me how any allegedly thinking person can go to a forum and say, “Stemulite is obviously BS.”
T. Harv Eker, author of “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind” says one of my favorite lines ever:
It’s not too expensive. You just can’t afford it.
Similarly …
Stemulite is not BS. You just don’t understand the science behind it.
If you can handle it, go to PubMed.com and check out one of the main studies that led Dr. David Summers to create Stemulite: (I’ve emphasized the key points in case you prefer to skim)
Physiol Rev. 2004 Jan;84(1):209-38. Cellular and molecular regulation of muscle regeneration. Chargé SB, Rudnicki MA. Ottawa Health Research Institute, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Upon injury, skeletal muscle has the remarkable ability to initiate a rapid and extensive repair process preventing the loss of muscle mass. Skeletal muscle repair is a highly synchronized process involving the activation of various cellular responses.
The initial phase of muscle repair is characterized by necrosis of the damaged tissue and activation of an inflammatory response.
This phase is rapidly followed by activation of myogenic cells to proliferate, differentiate, and fuse leading to new myofiber formation and reconstitution of a functional contractile apparatus.
Activation of adult muscle satellite cells is a key element in this process.
Muscle satellite cell activation resembles embryonic myogenesis in several ways including the de novo induction of the myogenic regulatory factors. Signaling factors released during the regenerating process have been identified, but their functions remain to be fully defined.
In addition, recent evidence supports the possible contribution of adult stem cells in the muscle regeneration process.
In particular, bone marrow-derived and muscle-derived stem cells contribute to new myofiber formation and to the satellite cell pool after injury.

Thanks for the FACTS you present here!!!
Yes there are so many people out there ready to jump in and talk without having any idea exactly what they are actually talking about. I prefer to read and try to understand the science and art behind the many claims and counter claims of the various products. The US government hasn’t helped by siding with the big drug and insurance companies to only pay for ‘treatments’ instead of funding and allowing insurance payments for PREVENTION.
Thanks again for your sanity and assistance.
You stopped by a forum, tossed in a gernade then ran off. People were asking you questions about the product but you didn’t even have the courtesy to respond.
You said “It’s not too expensive. You just can’t afford it.”
Isn’t that the same thing you said on the Body Building forums concerning why Stemulite’s inventor didn’t perform any double blind studies?
Hi, Greg -
As you can probably guess, I’m a busy guy. When I get the same question, I cut-and-paste a similar answer. I’m just being time-effective. It’s certainly nothing personal - or even discourteous.
Yes, I love to repeat T. Harv Eker’s line, “It’s not too expensive. You just can’t afford it.” (See, there I go again.)
I use it to remind people about Adam Smith’s Invisible Hand principle that the marketplace determines prices. A product that’s “too expensive” doesn’t sell and the business dies.
However …
If a product sells and continues to sell, the price is “fair” - at least to a sufficient number of people. People who won’t pay that price, frankly, don’t matter to the health of the business.
That’s no reason to make disparaging remarks about the product.
Besides, as a lifelong salesperson, I have to remind people that it’s the results not the price that matters. Can you really put a price tag on your health? (That’s the line all we “too expensive” trainers use.)
That Eker quotation, however, has nothing to do with why Stemulite doesn’t have specific double blind studies. The studies were already done with Endothil CR, a less powerful formulation based on the exact same principles.
Sorry, but I really don’t have time to hang out on forums - which I’m sure you’d agree - are dominated by under-informed, negative loud mouths.
I post in forums only when there’s the need to tell my informed side of the story.
I’m pretty sure I said in several forums (again, cut-and-paste) that if anyone had any questions, they could find me here - like you did.

I just purchased the Stemulite and I’m looking forward to trying it our myself. If it works then the price doesne’t matter to me. I work hard for my money so if something doesn’t work I don’t buy again and will tell my friends the same. If it works then I let my buddys know and they can try it for themselfs. Not everything works for everybody. The way I train may not work for some and work for others. Our bodys are all different. Hello!!!!
Has anyone used E3Live or Wheat Grass shots. This is how our cells rejuvenate - with nutrition from whole food sources: not processed junk that are more toxic and acid for our body to digest. Greg you spend your money on your stuff… artificial, and I will spend money on the natural stuff. And I do have the money, do I guess your quote doesn’t mean anything -since wheat grass shots cost $2 per day.

I know it’s a little to early to tell, but is it working, any opinions
you are a “lifelong salesman” but a “former mechanical engineer?”
engineers don’t trust salesmen. you must not have lasted very long before jumping ship to the sales side.
why cite your engineering credentials as proof of any credibility?
The only way any invention or new process ever reaches the marketplace is if the engineer sells at least the idea.
Successful engineers ARE salespeople. Just ask any engineer who’s ever had to make a pitch to venture capitalists.
I cited my engineering credentials to show I have training in logical thought processes - unlike people who slam a product they haven’t taken more than 20 seconds to even try to understand. - Stephen
I have to ask out of curiosity, would Stemulite be alright for an eighteen-year old to take? I want to know if this product could affect my growth in any negative manner. I’m going to keep researching this product but a reply would be great.
Hi, Justin -
Check this blog post for the Stemulite FAQ.
(In short, there’s absolutely no reason to believe Stemulite will negatively affect your growth, and it’s certainly OK for an 18-year-old.)
- Stephen
If this is a miracle supplement then a double blind clinical study WILL be performed. Until then you could be just shoveling some expensive poison into your own body.
Also, you don’t need a personal trainer (or even a gym membership) to achieve good health.
Hi, Anonymous -
I don’t usually post comments from people who have so little conviction in their comment they don’t attach their name to it, but …
No one has ever said “miracle” supplement. Please don’t try to put words in my mouth.
How can you say “double blind clinical study” in one sentence then say “expensive poison” in the next? Obviously, you’ve made your opinion already.
By the way, it’s neither expensive (less than you pay for cable TV) nor poison (Stemulite is contains all natural ingredients GRAS by the FDA).
Hell, my eye drops cost $130 for a month’s supply and 7% of all patients get painful headaches from it.
It’s all relative. - Stephen
Stephen,
I have been taking the Stemulite (female) and it has only been 4 days. I do feel better and sleep better as well. Like the other person said, they will try it and if it works they will tell their buddies and if not, they will do the same.
Why don’t you get rid of this blog and let people decide for themselves after reading the patents and science. Rather than reading such tit for tat blogging. Makes me wonder if competitors to this product just sit around waiting to write negative thoughts all day.
I’ll keep you posted.
Hi, Good Health -
Thanks for your honesty. That’s all I’m looking for - just try it and make an informed decision.
I was blogging years before Stemulite, so getting rid of this blog is out of the question.
I can tell you from the “tit for tat” forums that people (not just competitors) DO “sit around waiting to write negative thoughts all day.”
I’ll do my best to stay on the high ground (’though tit for tat gets traffic!)
Thanks.
- Stephen
Haha, I think I’ve seen you on every “hater” forum I’ve happened across since I started searching for tidbits on Stemulite, Mr. Holt. Rare, at least for me, to see an affiliate so defend a product as you have. Commendable really. Personally I think it’s a sign of an excellent product, though I haven’t purchased mine just yet.
Skeptics - Just try it if the “claims” seems intriguing. If they seem ridiculous, then don’t. Really is that simple. No sense in trolling forums voicing an overly negative opinion of something when you know nothing of the product.
The cost is a non-issue in my eyes, as most people have little trouble buying a DVD set or video game of the same price. And if it doesn’t work for you, well hey, the price was really modest. If it does work, yeah it’ll GET expensive…but in the end, it’s your health we’re talking about and you’re worth that expense.
I have personally tried Endothil-CR and absolutely loved it. In conjunction with a protein shake and multivitamin, Endothil worked extremely well…for me. Whether it will for you or not, I can’t say. But I still vouch for it.
Looking forward to trying Stemulite, Mr. Holt. Best of luck.
David
This is a load of crock. Stemulite is no more going to get you in shape or give you energy than a speed drug. You are basically taking an upper in the morning and a downer at night. Don’t believe this scam. All supplements are scams.
Why do you think some of these supplements and companies say lose fat by doing nothing. Because you are basically taking supplement that causes your heart rate to increase at rest. It is like revving your engine of your car when it is in neutral. It is not safe or healthy. That is what most of these things do. That is why people are saying they have so much more energy.
How can I put this politely …
You have no clue what you’re talking about. (Okay, that wasn’t so polite.)
Stemulite is not a CNS stimulant or a “downer.” It does not increase your resting heart rate.
The ingredients in Stemulite work on the cellular level to optimize the function of your mitochondria.
If you believe ALL supplements are scams you should a little more searching at PubMed.com.
- Stephen
This products seems very intriging. I am thinking of purchasing as a Test. I am new to the weight lifting, so I’m not sure of the possible gains. If someone has a forum that I can post too once I buy i’ll be more then happy to share my results(Video Blog).
To all the ignorant people who have no
idea what they are talking about….
I have been a personal trainer for many years and
have used nearly every supplement known to man. One of which is creatine. I used to live and die by that. Creatine promotes faster recovery and rejuvenation of muscles by neautralizing the lactic acid that occurs after you break the muscle down from working out.
So what does that mean? And what is it’s relevance to stemulite?
Well, the faster your muscles can recover the more you can work out hence you get stronger.
Now is it relly that hard to believe that technology and science in supplementation has evolved and found a better rejuvenation product?
Here’s what I think….
Either competitors are just trying to take focus off an amazing product and trying to slam it or
the people that are thinking about using it are looking for a magic pill that gives them size and strength without lifting a finger as they are too lazy to work out..
Products like stemulite are designed to be effective with a regular workout routine. How else can it rejuvenate without anything being torn down.
The science behind it is good and stems from many years of supplementation developement.
Jacob
Stephen I agree with the last post.
I have been a personal trainer for many years and have taken and recommended many supplements in my time.
J Justice you are right in a sense. Without doing anything a supplement like this isn’t going to make you stronger or increase mass. However If you actually excersize which I assume you don’t,
then this supplement doesn’t work. The science behind this actually stems from many years of supplemental developement.
As I have read the ads like everyone else I take it that this particular supplement is designed to speed the recovery time from the tearing process that occurs from working out. Kind of reminiscent of an early rejuvenating supplement called creatine(much more advanced though). And here is the common sense part of this rambling on:
The more you can workout the more growth and strength you can achieve.
With creatine I was able to give myself an extra day in the gym every week. As creatine neautralizes the lactic acid build up that causes soreness. However with creatine rejuvenation was still slow.
Now with stemulite I can add yet another day to my workout routine and hit each muscle group even more especially with the combination of creatine(to prevent soreness) and stemulite which promotes a faster healing process.
So if all supplements are a crock then why such stringent laws against the use of steroids(steroids stimulate the testosterone levels in ones body)?
Is it really that hard to believe that there is a supplement that can stimulate the bodies natural ability to heal?
Point is, from it’s use I have gotten stronger and bigger… I can’t say that it has helped me sleep better as I’ve never had a problem with that before. But it does work.
Oh yeah one other little fact:
The FDA issues warning letters to companies that fraudulently make claims to promote better health. And if you look at vitamin companies who make certain claims I’ll cite one in particular( The GReatest Vitamin In The World), the FDA Issues harsh warnings to these types of companies who aren’t in compliance with FDA guidelines. If you go to their website you won’t find a single thing on stemulite. The reason for this is because stemulite does follow the guidelines set forth by the FDA.
I do research on everything before I decide to buy.
Stephen I agree with the last post.

Regarding the “all supplements are scams”, I refer you to the discovery of acetyl-carnitine which has shown to reverse oxidative damage to mitochondria.
Sure, LOTS of supplements are likely to be scams but if you’re able to learn how to read the research press releases, you can at least be informed about the supplement in question.
Cheers,

hey to all you haters out their. lay of stemulite. you should get ur ass in the gym and make sh*t happen. until then shut the f**k up. you may have tiny arms but you sure do have a rather large mouth.
[note from Stephen: I had to edit this a little. I'm the only one who gets to swear on my blog
]
wow you guys are tards! Do some more research and you will find out that this is a scam. It has a sleep agent in it.
Hi, Denver -
Do even more research and you’ll discover the positive effects of deeper REM sleep and body composition.
In addition, REM sleep is enhanced by the unique combination of melatonin and indium found in Stemulite.
It’s no scam. Improved sleep is an important factor in how Stemulite works. - Stephen
haha yeah only REM sleep is important sleep… all other sleep is BS. More than just reading about supplements you should read about sleep patterns and how sleep affects your body. The average person who sleeps 8 hours a night has only about 2 hours of REM sleep. A person generally has three REM sleep periods. This is when you dream… And everyone dreams no ifs, ands or buts. This is the time of your sleep when you mind unwinds and your muscles relax at its fullest leaving the body to repair muscle tissue.
But keep in mind that supplements are made for people whose bodies cannot already process the foods to its raw forms and build it to forms the human body needs adequetly. Or they need help due to high strains on the body which proper diet and nutrition cannot provide.
Example: Old people take vitamins and drink Ensure. Which are essentially supplements that keep them healthy because their bodies need the extra help. And children also take vitamins to keep from getting sick.
Thus just because this supplement may not be all natural does not mean it is harmful to our bodies or is useless. As many medicines which are very beneficial and needed for our health are purely bioengineered.
There’s all this hype about Stemulite and what it does but is it truly effective?
If anyone could give me some feedback on how the product worked for you, i would appreciate it.
Why dont we all put away the guns and leave the decision to the consumer, as for all those people who are bashing the product and have not tried it then how can you say its a “crock”? Thats like saying a gastric bypass surgery went great…. but you have never done it.
I dont care if your a personal trainer all the way to a high class doctor. If the substance works then it works. And I am sure that if you know how to make something like Stemulite and understand stem cell research you obviously didn’t get there by accident.
It wouldnt be FDA approved if it was poison so that statement is untrue in all aspects of this conversation. Research then talk.
As an 18 year old I work as a CSR for a Insurance Agency that I partly own , and I could talk out of my butt all day about how well a certain product works that I have no idea about but until you try it you wont know how it will affect your life.
Just like a shirt doesn’t fit every one, but it fits some.
I am personally going to try it.
Thanks for keeping an open mind, Marcus.
- Stephen
Just started reading about the product myself and I’m deeply interested. I believe in hard gains and work myself to that end in the gym, but my recovery time is getting longer as I get older. I am a little conserned about the “mushroom allergy” warning on the label though as it could be indicative of other potential allergic side effects. Still, going to give it a shot.
I can agree with Steven, and I can agree with some of the nay sayers. You will never know if a product works unless you try it. But what most people (who can’t afford to just toss around 60 bucks) would like to hear at least some testimony as to whether or not it worked for somebody.
I have just come across this supplement. I have taken many supplements over the years and found many trash and others quite the opposite. I have friends that agree or disagree but the bottom line is try it once and go from there.
I consider myself a very experienced lifter and supplements don’t have the same affect me the same as beginners or intermediates. This company boasts to their testimonials of professional atheletes..which I do not care for; as well as using the usual doctor jargon trying to talk over people it seems. I understand the cell recovery process, it is a pretty elementary concept.
I would like to give it a shot but putting myself through college really limits funds. I powerlifted for many years and now just focus on bodybuilding. But I am always looking for new and better ways to keep an edge while maintaining drug free.
The only thing that concerns me is with my 2 day on 1 day off workout schedule…that leaves me running out in 18 days. Looks like I might have to go with the larger one for 120. Someone mentioned it shortening their recovery days….I don’t want that then I would be down to like 16 days. I dont really like the way they set up the buying packages, they need alter those a bit. Hopefully after three weeks, I’ll have a life altering experience. If I even experience a 5-10% increase in strength or rep difference you bet I’ll be back.
I do know that with a varying activity lifestyle and being in college my sleep patterns are all over the place…a little sleep aid might prove to help exponentially.
Just my 2 cents
I just gave Stemulite a try. Have used it for a week, taking one pill with breakfast and one an hour before bedtime. Here’s my take so far: I’ve slept better than I have in years, and feel more alert during the day. I’m not looking to lose weight and do work out, but am not a body builder. Common sense tells me that better REM sleep equals better decision making, lower stress, and a constant energy during the day. So far I give it two thumbs up. If all it does is give you a much better sleep, I have to think I will see it pay off in many ways.
