The world of sports and competition is riddled with doping scandals. I can think of no sport
that is not affected, thus casting a shadow over the dedicated athletes that train many hard
hours in preparation for competition.
As this is a real issue, one that all elite athletes contend with, we are providing two statements
that address the STEMTech position on anti-doping.
Human Statement*
The STEMTech HealthSciences, Inc product ingredient list is found on the product labels.
After review of the WADA (World Anti-Doping Association) banned substance list, to the best
of our knowledge STEMTech products do not contain ingredients that are on the banned list.
We encourage all athletes subject to anti-doping testing to become fully informed of all products
that they consume as well as thoroughly know and understand their organization’s
banned substance regulations.
* Also see the StemSPORT brochure and information on stemsport.com.
Equine Statement**
STEMTech StemEquine® product contains Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, a blue-green algae,
and blackstrap molasses. After review of the United States Equine Federation banned substance
list, we can state that StemEquine's ingredients are not on the list of banned substances.
We encourage all subject to drug testing to become fully informed of all products
that are consumed by their animals and to know and understand their organization’s banned
substance regulations.
According to the United States Equestrian Federation, blackstrap molasses and blue-green
algae are permitted under the Therapeutic Substance Provision of the USEF Drugs and Medications
Rule.
** This statement is also available in the StemEquine product section on the STEMTech website.

Why do we make these statements?
We do so to provide confidence in the STEMTech products and comfort for everyone who distributes and consumes them.
WADA (World Anti-Doping Association) and USADA (United States Anti-Doping Association)
do not certify products as drug-free, and they do not endorse any laboratory that tests for
banned substances. They do provide a list of banned substances. It is then the responsibility
of the company that sells product to review their products’ ingredients and make a statement
such as those above.
It is a similar process for equine products. The United States Equine Federation (USEF)
does not certify products as drug-free and it does not endorse any laboratory that tests for
banned substances. USEF did review our ingredients in StemEquine, however, and supports
the above statement from STEMTech.
To STEMTech Distributors
When asked, share the STEMTech corporate anti-doping statements. They will assist the
product user in making the decision to use STEMTech products and begin providing outstanding
stem cell nutrition for themselves and their horses
