Stem Cells are the master cells and building blocks of the entire body.
Adult stem cells are the body’s own natural repair and renewal kit. Adult stem cells are with us from the day we are born. They are undifferentiated cells found throughout the body that divide to replenish dying cells and regenerate damaged tissue and muscle. These cells are found in a variety of tissues and organs throughout the body.
The bone marrow is an abundant source of adult stem cells. Once mobilized, these adult stem cells enter the bloodstream where they migrate to areas most in need of repair and renewal. They then regenerate tissue and muscle, and support ongoing healthy cellular regeneration and maintenance throughout your entire lifetime.
Unlike embryonic stem cells, the use of adult stem cells in research and therapy is not controversial because the production of adult stem cells does not require the destruction of an embryo. Adult stem cells have a huge advantage as there is virtually no risk of rejection as these stem cells reside in our bodies from the day we are born. Currently, adult stem cell treatments are being used to help patients recover from over 150 debilitating chronic conditions previously thought to be untreatable.
