Umbilical Cord Blood (UCB), which remains in the umbilical vein and placenta after the baby’s birth, is a unique opportunity for families to secure their health. This blood is rich in the most essential building blocks of the body, particularly various types of stem cells necessary for the body’s renewal and restoration. Unfortunately, this valuable material is often lost aimlessly. However, by storing the newborn’s UCB, families can ensure these unique stem cells will be available if necessary. Thus, it is a form of ‘biological insurance policy’ and a potentially effective treatment for many diseases. The power of the umbilical cord blood cells to save lives is truly remarkable.
