One of the benefits of receiving regenerative therapy from R3 Stem Cell is that our patients do not have to undergo a stem cell harvesting procedure.  These procedures, such as bone marrow aspiration, can be painful, have additional associated risks, and produce far fewer stem cells than the current manner we use to acquire them.  Our patients receive regenerative materials from donors under the age of 35, who are undergoing a planned C-section.  The regenerative materials come from the products of conception, such as amniotic fluid, placental membrane, Wharton’s Jelly, and umbilical cord tissue and blood.  These products are normally discarded in the delivery process, so there is no harm to the mother or baby in order to acquire them.

Some patients experience worry over the ethical implications of regenerative therapy.  We only take material from consenting donors, and no material from aborted fetuses or embryos is used.  Also, R3 Stem Cell has taken great care in selecting the labs that process and store the materials.  This helps to ensure our patients receive the most effective regenerative material possible.  If you have any questions or want more information about how R3 Stem Cell acquires its regenerative materials, be sure to contact us at 844-GET-STEM for more information.  We aim to be as open as possible with our Gilbert, Arizona patients to make them feel as comfortable and confident as possible in their decision to undergo regenerative therapy.
