Why Not Use Birth Tissue (umbilical cord, placenta, amniotic fluid) Stem Cells?
I am frequently asked “My cells are old. Why not use stem cells from umbilical cord or placenta?”
The answer is simple.
- According to the FDA, birth tissue stem cells are illegal for use in orthopedics.
- Birth tissue stem cells carry a risk of infection.
- Multiple independent laboratories have tested the birth tissue products and found that they contain No Live Cells.
Please review this recent press release from the US Department of Justice detailing the guilty plea of the founder of a company that illegally marketed unapproved birth tissue stem cell products.
Come see what safe and FDA compliant regenerative orthopedics can do for you!
