Stem cell therapy is a big decision. The right questions help you separate legitimate providers from hype, and protect your health and your wallet.

Here are the questions we encourage every client to ask, including at iCRYO Mauldin (https://icryo-mauldin-sc.com/services/stem-cell).

New to stem cells? Start with What Is Stem Cell IV Therapy? (https://icryo-mauldin-sc.com/blog/what-is-stem-cell-iv-therapy)

## 10 Questions to Ask

### 1. What exactly is the product?

Is it cell-based? What type of cells or components does it contain?

### 2. Where does it come from?

Donated birth tissue? Your own tissue? Ask about donor screening and consent.

### 3. How is it processed and tested?

What lab prepares it? Is it tested for safety, sterility and quality?

### 4. What is its FDA status?

Only cord blood–derived blood-forming stem cells are FDA-approved, for certain blood disorders. Ask how the product you'd receive is regulated.

### 5. What does the research show?

Ask for the evidence behind your specific goal and how strong it is.

### 6. What are the risks?

Ask about side effects, rare complications and who shouldn't receive it.

### 7. Who administers it?

Make sure licensed, trained medical staff are involved.

### 8. What results should I realistically expect?

A trustworthy provider will set honest expectations, including that some people don't notice a difference.

### 9. What follow-up is included?

How will you be monitored? Who do you call with concerns?

### 10. What's included in the cost?

Ask for a clear breakdown: product, administration and follow-up.

## Red Flags

Be cautious of providers who:

- Guarantee results
- Claim to cure or treat diseases
- Pressure you to decide immediately
- Give vague answers about the product
- Suggest stopping treatment your doctor prescribed

## Talk With Your Doctor

It's always wise to discuss regenerative therapy with your primary care doctor, especially if you have medical conditions.

## Our Approach

At iCRYO Mauldin, we welcome every one of these questions. We'll explain the product, the evidence and what to expect so you can make an informed decision.
