Victor Chavez registered the "stemvidainternational.com" domain on May 25, 2012. The Stem Vida International website itself provides no information about who owns or runs the business. Promotional materials circulated by affiliates identify Chavez as the company's CEO, operating from an advertised California address that appears altered when cross-referenced with public mapping services.
The domain registration lists a California address for Stem Vida International, matching the corporate address displayed on their website. But a comparison with Google Maps, linked directly from the company's own page, shows a different building. The website image of the office differs significantly from the actual street view.
Most of Stem Vida International's promotional content appears in Spanish. This suggests the company primarily targets Spanish-speaking communities within the US, despite its English name. A language barrier prevented tracing any prior multi-level marketing history for Chavez. His involvement in the MLM sector before Stem Vida International remains unclear.
The company's main offering is "Stem Alive," a product without a clear description on the Stem Vida website. A closer look at the product bottle in the online catalog reveals the text: "Promotes adult stem cell function and health." One bottle contains 90 capsules and sells for $65.
The Stem Vida retail storefront indicates that orders for Stem Alive "will not be shipped until further notice." No explanation for this shipping halt appears on the company's website. The product's availability remains uncertain.
The shipping delay stems from a voluntary recall initiated earlier in the year. Stem Alive 90 Count Capsules contain undeclared milk. The ingredient, bovine colostrum, is a known milk allergen, but the product label failed to include an allergen warning. Six months after the recall, Stem Vida International apparently still has not resolved the labeling issue.
Stem Vida International also markets other items. These include a "nature beauty set" priced at $297, "StemCleanse" for $57.90, "StemMask" (a green face mask cream) at $113.90, and "StemMoist" (a red face cream) for $139.90. No additional product details are provided for StemCleanse, or any of the other beauty items, on the company's website.
The lack of product information for the beauty line mirrors the ongoing shipping suspension of Stem Alive due to the undeclared milk allergen.
