Storing umbilical cord blood – why it makes sense
Parents can have their umbilical cord blood stored for the birth of their child. In this way you can take care of the future health of your child.
Cord blood contains different types of cells, some of which make new blood cells¹ and others can reduce inflammation and initiate healing processes.
More than 40,000 patients and a total of around 80 diseases have already been treated worldwide with the help of umbilical cord blood²³. Parents can ensure their children’s cord blood potential by storing it for birth.
What cord blood is used for
Umbilical cord blood is used to renew blood formation and the immune system after chemotherapy or radiation therapy⁴. Diseases of blood formation, the maturation of blood cells or the red blood pigment were treated in this “classic” way³: Within the framework of “experimental” approaches, however, autoimmune and metabolic diseases as well as brain damage, autism or stroke were also treated³⁵⁶⁷.

Umbilical cord blood can be stored for medical care for the child for up to 50 years and longer. Providers such as Vita 34 guarantee the necessary quality by complying with legal requirements for production.
In addition, at Vita 34 the entire process comes “from a single source”. The umbilical cord blood is processed and stored in one place – in the in-house stem cell laboratory and tank farm in Leipzig. Fast processing times and short process paths guarantee the highest quality in the long term.
Prepare risk-free
Cord blood banks such as Vita 34 offer special insolvency insurance. This means that storage would not be jeopardized by a company insolvency, but is also guaranteed and stored umbilical cord blood remains available for potential treatments.
