FDA Approved Uses
Currently, cord blood stem cells have been approved by the FDA in the treatment of nearly 80 diseases. A few of the approved uses include:
Currently, Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs) stem cells found in cord blood have been approved by the FDA in the treatment of nearly 80 diseases. Most of the following conditions for which children receive stem cell transplants require that the cells come from a donor. Storing your child’s cord blood at traditional family banks is primarily stored for potential transplant use, not for the use of your child.
**The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Academy of Pediatrics do not recommend routine cord blood storage, which is not offered by VitalCells.

VitalCells’ customer support is STELLAR. They are amazing to work with, friendly, knowledgeable, so helpful. I truly can’t say enough! Retrieving my cells was effortless.

VitalCells has been extremely kind, helpful, compassionate and professional. I am eternally grateful for this possible life saving opportunity and all that has done for me.

My wife and I have both sleep better at night know our sons stem cells are stored. Of all the things that you will spend on your children during their lifetime, this is a relatively small expenditure for something that could potentially drastically improve their quality of life. It will also give you greater peace of mind as parents.
The Bone Family
It’s not a secret that there are thousands of clinical trials in progress as we speak using stem cells and stem cell technology to treat (and potentially cure) common illnesses, concussions, and diseases that so many people struggle with for a good portion of their life. Having the opportunity for such a reasonable cost (in the context of your child’s future health and what will end up spending as a parent) this is probably the best health insurance policy you can have in place for your child. It’s a no-brainer.
The Grauer Family
One thing that stood out was the proprietary processing technique called CellMaxx which now makes it possible to grow potentially billions of newborn stem cells. No other company we could find could give us peace of mind that potentially 1000x more live stem cells would be available throughout our child’s entire life.

Through VitalCells, the technology now exists where we can isolate stem cell from tissue and expand them, rather then just freeze the tissue and hope for the best. VitalCells has the Technology to build the army of mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) for a child. Nobody can predict future illness, surgeries, fractures or other serious illness. Having MSCs at your disposal can help people heal much better then we normally heal. This is ground breaking technology that was not available even a few years ago. VitalCells is the best choice for anyone's personal stem cell line. The earlier in life you get then banked, the better it will be for you or your loved one.
