The placenta is beneficial even after childbirth!

Many women are interested in what happens to the placenta after the baby is born. Its role in the development of a child is difficult to overestimate: this organ provides the child with oxygen and nutrients, protects against infections and dangerous external factors. During pregnancy, the placenta accumulates many proteins, amino acids, vitamins, valuable microelements, as well as unique growth factors and stem cells.

According to the standards of our maternity hospitals, the placenta and umbilical cord are simply disposed of as biological material that has served its role. This is despite the fact that this organ can bring enormous benefits not only to the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry, but also to the specific family to which it rightfully belongs.

What benefits can placental tissue bring to humans? There are several areas in which drugs made from it are successfully used.

Cell therapy

Just like umbilical cord blood, the placenta contains a huge number of stem cells. Stem cells deservedly bear the title of “gold of medicine”, since due to their properties they can be used to treat many diseases. These cells are successfully used all over the world for the treatment of cancer, diabetes mellitus, liver cirrhosis, bone and joint diseases, neurological pathologies, and vascular diseases. The list of indications for the use of cell therapy can be continued for a very long time. Scientists even have experience growing organs and tissues from stem cells.

Most countries have cord blood banks, but only a few offer placenta preservation. Despite the fact that the placenta contains many times more stem cells than cord blood, the process of isolating them is more complex, time-consuming and expensive. This requires special technologies and experienced specialists. In Ukraine, the technology for isolating stem cells from the placenta is owned by the Institute of Cell Therapy.

Galina Stepanovna Lobyntseva, Director of the First Cryobank of Stem Cells of the Institute of Cell Therapy: “Our specialists have developed a unique method of cryopreservation of the placenta for further isolation and cultivation of stem cells. The use of special cryoprotectors and a special freezing regime make it possible to preserve the unique structure of placental tissue. If necessary, the material can be thawed and stem cells can be extracted. There are so many of them in the placenta that they could potentially be enough for multiple transplantations.”

Restoration of the body

Thanks to the content of highly active biological compounds, the placenta is an excellent tool for strengthening the immune system, slowing down the aging process, combating chronic fatigue syndrome, increasing libido and potency, activating metabolism, treating diseases of the digestive tract and nervous system, and recovering from serious injuries and illnesses.

Placenta extract, which is obtained after appropriate processing, contains the entire necessary complex of microelements that restore health and youth.

By resorting to cryopreservation of the placenta, the family receives a universal medicine that can be used at any time. Placenta extract is introduced into the body using subcutaneous injections, that is, its use is a fairly simple and not time-consuming procedure. At the same time, the extraction of the extract from the placenta stored in the Cryobank of the Institute of Cell Therapy is carried out absolutely free of charge.

Cosmetology

Many women know about the effectiveness of placental cosmetics. These products are invariably in great demand, and their use gives excellent results. Of course, the concentration of placenta extract in industrially produced creams and masks is very small, and heat treatment of such cosmetic products significantly reduces their effectiveness. A much greater effect can be obtained if you use a “live” placenta extract for cosmetic purposes - prepared and delivered from the Cryobank for a specific procedure.
