Five Types of People Should not Use Apple Stem Cell Supplements to Lose Weight
Slimming supplements have always been a popular product on the market. As people hope to easily maintain their ideal body shape, good skin condition and good health, "additional supplementation" of nutritional supplements has become a popular choice.
In the recent slimming nutritional supplement market, "Apple Stem Cells" is the most discussed product. In order to make the slimming process easier, many slimming supplements have been launched on the market, such as enzymes,intestinal probiotics, or various plant fiber supplements, and "apple stem cells" is a popular option that has emerged recently.
These products claim to be made from a precious apple tree in the Alps. Legend has it that the bark and unpicked fruit of this tree have the ability to self-repair when damaged, leading to their initial use in beauty products. Currently, most apple stem cells sold on the market are in powder form and packaged individually. It's claimed that drinking one packet daily can help detoxify the liver, cleanse the intestines, and improve acne and...lose weightMultiple functions.
Regarding this popular fruit stem cell nutritional supplement, the program "Heho Topic" specially invited Dr. Zhang Yiwen, CEO of Jianzhong Cell Biomedicine, to discuss its authenticity from a professional perspective - does "apple stem cell" really exist and is effective as advertised?
After reviewing the product's ingredients, Dr. Zhang Yiwen first raised a key question: "It's essentially impossible for stem cells to be stored in bags or jars and sold at room temperature." Due to the biological characteristics of cells, stem cells must be in a "viable" state, and their preservation requires specific temperature conditions and an oxygen environment. Sealed packaging at room temperature simply cannot meet these survival requirements, so it's almost impossible for such products to contain living stem cells. Furthermore, there are many precautions regarding the use of other ingredients in the product, and it's not suitable for everyone:
The first ingredient that needs attention is "smilk thistle". Dr. Zhang Yiwen pointed out that such products containing milk thistle have not been tested for reproductive toxicity, so pregnant women, breastfeeding women and children are not suitable for consumption, otherwise it may have an adverse effect on the growth and development of the fetus or child. In addition, people who are allergic to plant ingredients must also be cautious when taking nutritional supplements containing Chinese herbal substances to avoid allergic reactions. More importantly, milk thistle has a hormone-like effect. If you suffer from hormone-related diseases, such as ovarian fibroids, uterine fibroids, etc., taking it may cause the condition to worsen; at the same time, milk thistle may also affect the P450 enzyme system in the liver, interfering with the body's drugs.Normal metabolismprocess, increasing the risk of medication.
The second ingredient to watch out for is aloe vera. Aloe vera produces aloin, which, after being metabolized in the human intestine, is converted into aloe-emodin—a laxative. For those with weak gastrointestinal function, consuming this ingredient may cause persistent diarrhea, seriously affecting gastrointestinal health and overall well-being.
