This is a new product and helps to release stem cells from the bone marrow.
This is from the company's own webpage:
"StemEnhance� is a breakthrough, natural botanical extract that supports wellness by helping your body maintain healthy stem cell physiology. It is the very first product on the market from the latest phytoceutical product category called ``stem cell enhancers''.
What are stem cell enhancers? Recent scientific developments have revealed that stem cells derived from the bone marrow, travel throughout the body, and act to support optimal organ and tissue function. Stem cell enhancers are products that support the natural role of adult stem cells."

- I have read about a brown seaweed and stem cells. In basic Google search, I see that StemEnhance is Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) - a type of blue green algae.
A search on Spirulina would also be interesting.
PubMed may have more.
As I think I understand it, though, our body is constantly making new stem cells. I'm not sure any one particular food - and that is all StemEnhance is - a food - will have specific effects of a "cure" sort of thing.
Just as spirulina (which is very similar if not the same thing), though, it may have some nutritional value. I know that Spirulina is absolutely fabulous as a nutrient. More reading will shine a broader light on this. It's really an important area to study. -

- The kind of seaweed discussed here can be found at PubMed, too. However, as I recall, the abstracts are more about its use in combating adipose tissue (bad fat).
In looking at the ingredients, I see that Fucoidan by VRP contains N-Acetylglucosamine. If one considers taking this kind of seaweed, another source might be better, considering this:
BIOCHEMISTRY OF LYME DISEASE: BORRELIA BURGDORFERI SPIROCHETE / CYST

3/4 of the way down:
`` . . . A popular treatment for arthritis includes the administration of chondroitin sulfate and N-acetylglucosamine. If the arthritis is Lyme-induced, N-acetylglucosamine is contraindicated. 22 `` . . . (See Chart 14.) -
