Welcome to the Forever Labs blog

At Forever Labs, our mission is simple: Empower every person to age on their terms. Today, we can't consume media without being bombarded with ads for health and wellness products. Some of these products are created based on little scientific basis, if any at all.

For the best overall health and longevity, there is no substitute for diet and exercise. Walk a few miles a day and avoid soda, and you’ll be on your way to the top few percent of healthy Americans.

But is there more that could be done? We want more. We're dedicated to the idea that modern science has given us a unique opportunity to maintain a piece of our youthful selves into the future—maybe even well into the future. We sit at an inflection point for health and wellness that we predict will change some of the ways in which people think about their own health.

As you may have guessed, I’m talking about stem cells, specifically your adult stem cells. Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) contribute to a myriad of systems in the body. They help produce blood cells. They help rebuild connective tissue. They impact your immune system.

More and more, we see MSCs in particular employed in research and clinical practice for applications such as joint healing and cosmetic procedures for skin. The downside is that these treatments rely on using your stem cells as they currently exist.

Sadly, as we age we tend to lose our MSCs. This inevitable loss has been correlated to many health deficits, including cognitive decline, general malaise, and a failure to recover from injuries.

The good news is that when you’re relatively young and healthy, your stem cells have remarkable ability to replenish themselves. At Forever Labs, we help you cryopreserve your adult stem cells for your benefit. We've built one of the largest networks of board-certified physicians in the United States who can remove a small portion of your bone marrow or adipose (fat) tissue. They send your stem cell samples to our labs, where we can isolate your essential cells (MSCs and others), then store them for you for as long as you like. You maintain full chain of custody of your biology along the way.

Each year, research advances and more treatments that are based on MSC therapy become available. We believe there is no better donor than your younger, healthier self. The science is on our (your) side, and is becoming clearer all the time.

Our goal is for the Forever Labs blog to be a portal for you to learn about new developments in the evolving world of stem cell research and science—a place where you can find interesting bits and find out about what it all means to you. We hope that you will come, stay, read, and reflect on this new and promising frontier in medicine.
