Stemulite: The Latest Supplement Scam

I ran across this ad/article for Stemulite. I haven’t tried this stuff, and I don’t have to: I can tell it is bogus by the article.

I’ll quote the article (in italics) and analyze it for you.


According to studies and research, using anabolic steroids merely inflates your muscles (hence the term "juiced") and does not provide permanent results.

“Inflates” your muscles? What the . . . ?

OK, let’s get to the truth.

First, the “juiced” term has nothing to do with muscles “inflating.” It’s just a nickname given to steroids.

The permanency of muscles built on steroids depends on several factors. Basically, the higher the dosage of steroids used, the more muscle mass someone will lose once they go off steroids (that's a highly over-simplified explanation, but you get the point). But muscle gained on steroids is not anatomically different from “naturally” built muscle.

There are also several harmful side effects of steroid use, like diabetes, rage, aggression, uncontrollable mood-swings and significant changes to body systems that are not natural to the user's gender.

Steroids can produce some undesirable side effects, especially for women. But diabetes, rage, and mood swings? There’s no scientific proof of this.


Several years ago, a widely respected and still used natural supplement Endothil CR entered the market. Dr. David Summers, the creator of Endothil CR, says that body builders and athletes are using this product instead of steroids to build and sustain strength and muscle mass.

Bodybuilders have stopped using steroids? Come on! I guess rock stars have also stopped using drugs and alcohol and switched to fruit loops.

Stemulite, the core muscle building ingredient, is a natural dietary adult stem cell agonist. When working out and pushing our bodies, our muscles and ligaments suffer tiny micro tears, creating the soreness from exercise. Stemulite quickly goes to work recruiting the sleeping adult stem cells in our bodies and starts building new muscle. Keep in mind this is new muscle, not the temporary enlarged effect that anabolic steroids create.

Anyone know what an “adult stem cell agonist” is? Here’s the answer: complete nonsense (it is a legitimate medical term, but it has nothing to do with bodybuilding supplements). “New muscle” instead of “temporary enlarged effect?” Again, there’s no such thing as “inflation” caused by steroid use. Muscles either get bigger or they don’t.

"Stemulite is the most powerful supplement I have ever put into my body, period," says Corey Simpson, a former Mr. Florida and now active fitness professional. "In the first couple of weeks of using Stemulite, I increased the weight I was lifting by 30 percent and I doubled the amount of repetitions in my workout. It was a little hard to believe. In weeks, my muscle definition changed and I dropped excess water weight. In addition, Stemulite has also given me a great and deeper sleep, which is so important for recuperation. I just feel better than ever and have so much more endurance and energy."

What is an “active fitness professional?” Are we really supposed to believe that this stuff caused a 30% strength increase in two weeks? Ridiculous. There is one "supplement" that could produce these results--steroids!

OK, let’s see the ingredients:



There’s nothing here I see that would cause the gains claimed by this product.
Now, let’s see the price:



60$ a bottle, and you actually need two bottles for the “day” and “night” formulas. One thing I can guarantee: this product doesn’t do anything that’s worth 120$ a month.

I'm not condoning or promoting the use of anabolic steroids--I'm simply opposed to supplements making bogus claims in order to sell their products.


NOTE: If you really want to gain muscle, invest in a decent program like Jason Ferruggia's Muscle Gaining Secrets.  You'll learn the real way to gain size and strength.

Knowledge is power--spend your money wisely. 

Proper training and nutrition are MUCH more important than supplements.

Spend your money wisely--invest in knowledge, not supplement scams.
