We use Amniotic and Umbilical Stem Cells. What is the difference?
Stem cells are powerful cells that help your body repair, regenerate, and heal. Two common types used in regenerative medicine are amniotic stem cells and umbilical stem cells—both naturally collected at birth and rich in healing properties.
Amniotic Stem Cells
-
Where they come from: The protective fluid and membrane around the baby during pregnancy (called the amniotic sac).
-
What they do: These cells are great at reducing inflammation and helping repair tissues like joints, skin, muscle, and nerves.
-
Why they’re great: They are safe, don’t require surgery to collect, and rarely cause immune reactions.
Umbilical Stem Cells
-
Where they come from: The baby’s umbilical cord—specifically the blood and soft tissue inside (called Wharton’s jelly).
-
What they do: These stem cells are especially good at rebuilding the immune system and stimulating repair in damaged areas like bones, cartilage, and even organs.
-
Why they’re great: They are young, highly active cells and can support deep healing and regeneration.Both Are Safe and Ethical
-
Collected after birth (no harm to mother or baby).
-
Donor-screened and tested for safety.
-
Widely used in pain management, anti-aging, wound healing, and orthopedic care.
