Research shows that cord blood and cord tissue samples only contain about 1 to 3 million live stem cells, which is not enough for even one therapeutic use (ISCT Cytotherapy). This is why live cell count isn’t just a technical detail; it’s the foundation of your sample’s long-term value. Many clinical studies are quantifying the amount of stem cells per treatment based on bodyweight, with a common metric being 1 million mesenchymal stem cells per kg of bodyweight per treatment. (Stem Cell International) For example, a 55lb child (25kg), in the example above would require 25 million cells PER TREATMENT and thus the 1-3 million cells natively available in the cord tissue only offers 4-12% of the cells needed for just the first treatment.
Why Live Cell Count Matters
In regenerative medicine, live autologous (your own) stem cells are used for therapeutic purposes. These living cells give the body its ability to repair and regenerate tissue.
Studies show that larger quantities of live stem cells are important for successful outcomes, which is why a live cell count is critical. The greater the number of live stem cells you have, the broader your therapeutic options become. It takes a substantial quantity of viable cells to meaningfully support regeneration within the body.
Research shows that cord blood and cord tissue samples typically contain only 1–3 million live stem cells, not enough for even a single use. This is why live cell count isn’t just a technical metric; it’s the foundation of your sample’s long-term value.
When used systemically, for chronic conditions, healing often requires a series of stem cell therapies, not just a one-time solution. Having a higher live cell count ensures more opportunities for regeneration and resetting the immune system.
Verified Cells, Real Confidence
At VitalCells, we use advanced technology to naturally culture-expand your baby’s live stem cells, giving you access to a growing, replenishable source for a lifetime of regenerative therapies. Every family also receives a guaranteed live cell count, confirming the presence and viability of their stored sample.
If your cells do not grow, we provide a full money-back guarantee—because your investment deserves transparency and trust.
Choosing the Right Stem Cell Storage Option
When comparing cord blood and stem cell banks options, it’s essential to choose one that guarantees a live stem cell count that can be replenished for a lifetime. Without live cells, therapeutic use is impossible—and the long-term value of your sample is lost.
