What are Stem Cells?

Stem cells are the precursors of nearly all mature cells in the body. 

They can be encouraged to develop into specific types of cells, and they have the potential to treat and cure many common conditions.

The stem cells derived from a child’s umbilical cord blood are called ‘Adult Stem Cells’. These cells are simple and painless to collect, and provide a unique, potential resource of stem cells for your child in the future.

Umbilical cord blood stem cells are very immature adult stem cells, and therefore have a greater ability to differentiate into other cell types.

They have not been exposed to the many toxins, radiation and ageing we all experience in everyday life, and are therefore healthier.

Cord blood stem cells are a 100% perfect match for the baby from whom they originated.
