How Laminine food supplement stimulates stem cell regeneration
1. Fertilized Avian Egg Extract
First discovered in 1929, little was known about the main ingredient of Laminine, also known as Young Tissue Extract (YTE). The extract was derived from partially incubated chicken eggs (embryonic stage) that contain Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF-2).
Studies have shown that placental-derived FGFs, such as FGF-2 (basic FGF), have potent regenerative and angiogenic properties. These are critical elements in stem cell therapy but are not readily available. [Oncotarget, 2016]
Norwegian egg expert Dr. Bjodne Eskeland developed a better way to extract YTE known today as Fertilized Avian Egg Extract (FAEE). The patented formula is considered the most potent egg extract.
2. Combination of ingredients
By combining FAEE with other natural protein ingredients, Laminine, as we know it today, has the ability to activate and regenerate stem cells in our body.
Laminine contains FGF-2 and the full chain of amino acids that helps regenerate and trigger the protein synthesis required for homeostasis and cellular repairs. [PDR]
DISCLAIMER: Laminine is a food supplement, not a stem cell therapy.
3. Understanding embryonic and adult stem cell
Embryonic stem cells (ES) differentiate into vital organs in animals or humans during fetal development. But certain adult stem cells (AS) remain present in the body. It cannot create new limbs or organs but is the default repair mechanism.
As aging takes place, these “specialized cells” deplete over time. It becomes dormant or quiescent (reserved). Thus, an intravenous or oral supplementation becomes necessary. [Urban, Cheung, 2021]
Stem cell regeneration
Dormant stem cells are usually triggered by cell injury. Still, they can be activated by signaling proteins or stimuli (growth factors) to re-enter the cell cycle (daughter cells) and start dividing again to repair damaged or aging cells. [NCBI, 2013]
This is basically what happens in stem cell therapy. Cellular regeneration is induced: The body is injected with growth factors (signaling protein cells) and stem cells to help regenerate certain tissues, nerves, or muscles. [Nature]
Similarly, Laminine can trigger stem cell regeneration.

Pluripotent stem cells
Scientists have explored induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as an alternative to embryonic stem cells (ES) and adult stem cells. [NCBI, 2018]
They are capable of self-renewal and have the potential to differentiate into any cell type in the human body. However, they are also expensive, if not unethical. [Lo, Parham, 2009]
Therefore, Laminine food supplement is a convenient alternative.
Telomeres Lengthening: Critical to the aging process
Perhaps, the most important use of Laminine recently discovered is its ability to encourage telomere lengthening (telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences located at the ends of chromosomes).
Telomeres shorten with age and contribute to age-related declines such as joint pain and increased risk of certain diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders, and certain types of cancer. [NIH, 2022]
Improved telomere length
A limited experiment shows those who took four capsules of Laminine maintained or improved telomere lengths after 90 days. [See dosage]
Other experiments have also indicated Laminins’ ability to affect the following:
- Maintain healthy blood sugar levels
- Improve triglyceride maintenance and cholesterol.
- Reduce cortisol levels. [PDR]
