What is umbilical cord blood?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Umbilical cord blood is the blood that can be collected from your baby\u2019s umbilical cord and the placenta after they are born. Umbilical cord blood contains billions of powerful stem cells to treat over 80 different diseases. They may even hold the key to regenerative medicine. This is why millions of parents in the UK and worldwide choose to store blood from their children\u2019s umbilical cord and placenta.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”Title” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

Stem cells are present in many parts of the human body. However, some sources contain richer concentrations than others. Human embryos are also excellent sources of stem cells, but they are highly controversial and illegal in some countries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In contrast, umbilical cord blood and tissue are collected from material that usually has no use following a child\u2019s birth. They are the richest and purest source of stem cells that your child will ever have. Therefore, storing umbilical cord blood stem cells allows you to safeguard your child\u2019s health for years to come. Moreover, they can be quickly and safely collected and reliably stored for treating future health issues.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Cord blood outperforms all other stem cells sources on its:” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Title” _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n
