Finding the best Stem Cells for you.
Adult Stem Cells can be found in multiple areas in the body including bone marrow, umbilical cord blood and adipose tissue (fat). Adult Stem Cells work for body’s repair, restoring the body’s important structures, tissues and organs. The scientific interest in adipose tissue derived Adult Stem Cells is firstly based on its easy collection. If you did not get the chance to bank umbilical cord blood, you can still collect adipose tissue to isolate your Adult Stem Cells.
Advantages of Adipose Tissue Derived Adult Stem Cells
Adipose tissue (fat) derived Adult Stem Cells offer key advantages over other collection sources:
- Fat is easily accessible.
- Fat tissue contains quantities of Adult Stem Cells that are at least 500 times greater than bone marrow.
- Fat collection is a minimally invasive process. The procedure is ambulatory with a short recovery period and can be accomplished in conjunction with other procedures.
The younger the Adult Sten Cell, the greater its capacity to divide, repair and peplenish organs and tissues.
As we age, environmental factors and the body’s natural wear and tear adversely affect cellular health. These factors cause damage to our DNA with associated consequences to our overall health, vitality and life span. If we collect and store our Adult Stem Cells today, it ensures safeguarding of our current cellular age, while the Stem Cells are still healthy and “as young as possible”; this allows for the optimal quality in future cellular treatments.
Today or not today is not even a question
Our bodies have a limited number of stem cells. Over time, even stem cells become damaged and lose their potential to differentiate into other cell types that regenerate our organs and tissues. This kind of ongoing cellular damage by heavy metal intoxication, pollution, and unhealthy nutrition reduces regenerative potential and puts stem cells into a state of premature sleep, limiting their ability to divide.
Like all cells, Adult Stem Cells are comprised of chromosomes and sequences of DNA. As we age, our cells are subject to oxidative stress from external and internal factors, which amount to accumulated cellular toxicity. At the ends of chromosomes there are protective caps called telomeres, which slow down the deterioration of DNA. Every day that we grow older, cells divide and the telomere end caps diminish, making our DNA increasingly susceptible to damage and mutation. Every day that we age is a day we cannot take back. Cryogenic storage can “halt ageing” and ensure that the collected cells stay in their pristine state until needed.
Swiss Quality
Under the strict regulation imposed by Swiss Medic (Swiss health authorities), you can rest assured that your Stem Cell Banking will be conducted with the utmost attention to quality, security and discretion.
Thinking ahead
The future of Stem Cells is promising, with its multifaceted applications thought to help cure what we consider un-curable today.
It is sufficient to note that hundreds of clinical studies are currently under way for the use of these cells in the treatment of a large number of pathologies, such as diabetes, Crohn’s, acute renal failure, and even a myocardial infarction.
