AmStem International, Inc. Finds Innovative New Ways to Use Cord Blood Stem Cells in Skin Care and Anti-Aging Products

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - June 16, 2010) - AmStem Corporation (OTCBB: AMST), a world leader in stem cell research using stem cells collected from the umbilical cord immediately after birth, has found an innovative use for those cord blood stem cells that are unable to be used for transplant or regenerative medicine purposes.

AmStem’s President David Stark said, “We are now using Human Conditioned Stem Cell Media or HCSM, which we have found provides the skin with vital proteins and supplements to make it healthy, balanced and rejuvenated.”

HSCM is a main ingredient in AmStem’s facial cream, SteMixx™. SteMixx contains IGF-1, 2, which are polypeptides that are part of a complex system that cells use to communicate with their physiological environment. Almost every cell in the body is affected by IGF-1 including cells in the skin, muscle, bone and liver. IGF-1 also stimulates the growth of cells and the composing of collagen. These and other proteins assist with anti-inflammatory and skin regenerative mechanisms creating a smoother, more youthful appearance.

SteMixx™ along with an extensive line of cosmeceutical and hair restoration products was developed by Dr. Han Hoon, Chairman of AmStem Corporation and Histostem, Ltd., in Seoul, Korea. Histostem, a 90% owned subsidiary of AmStem Inc., which operates one of the largest cord blood banks in the world with over 80,000 units stored for personal and unrelated transplant uses.

In preclinical studies conducted by Dr. Han in 2008, HCSM was shown to promote cell division by stimulating fibroblasts and increasing production of collagen and elastine. The studies also showed that the higher the concentration of HCSM, the higher the increase in the proliferation of skin fibroblasts. SteMixx™ contains one of the highest concentrations of HCSM available in any skin care product in the marketplace. The product is targeted for use by skin care professionals and others in the field.

SteMixx™ has been approved by the Korean FDA as a “functional cream” for the treatment of facial skin disfiguration associated with signs of aging such as wrinkles. Dr. Han noted that “sales in Korea have indicated a strong reception for SteMixx™, the first product release in our line of anti-aging stem cell based cosmeceuticals.”

AmStem is currently conducting consumer-based studies in the United States while in discussions with distribution networks and major cosmetic distributors. The Company expects to offer SteMixx™ for sale through fine cosmetic stores and on-line distribution channels in time to reach the year-end holiday market in 2010.
