At our stem cell therapy clinic in Mexico, mesenchymal stem cells are extracted from healthy post-birth umbilical cord tissue called Wharton’s Jelly and placenta tissue.

After extraction, these pluripotent cells undergo a rigorous laboratory testing and cultivation process to harvest billions of stem cells viable for use in regenerative medicine. Our lab and application centers abide by the highest international standards enforced by COFEPRIS and ISO class 5 and 6.

It’s amazing that for centuries, these valuable tissues teeming with the potential for life were usually discarded after birth. But thanks to advances in medicine, our mesenchymal stem cells can develop into virtually any type of cell in the body: neuron, nerve tissue, cartilage, bone, heart cell, liver cell, kidney cell, blood cell, and more.

Stem cell therapy in Mexico costs between $4,000 USD to $25,000 USD depending on the condition being treated. You can get 10 times the results and save up to 40% in total out-of-pocket costs compared to an equivalent stem cell treatment in the USA.

At StemLife Clinic, our all-inclusive stem cell treatment protocols can include doses of up to 300 million mesenchymal stem cells (way more than what you can get in the USA), doctor consultation fees, lab work, auxiliary medical treatments,  daily transportation, personalized prepared meals, and more!  

Even including plane tickets, lodging, and other expenses, our stem cell therapy protocol is more accessible than what you would have to pay for equivalent treatments with stem cells in the USA or Canada. So it’s worth it to get a vacation in Mexico while you receive treatments.

Every year, over 1 million tourists mainly from North America, Europe, and Asia undergo quality medical treatments in México that would cost twice or up to 5 times as much in their home countries.

At our stem cell clinic in Mexico, we use ethically-sourced human pluripotent mesenchymal stem cells derived from donated umbilical cord tissue and placentas of screened patients.

These types of stem cells are called pluripotent because they are the most powerful and versatile cells that can become any type of cell in the body: brain, heart, liver, bone, skin, muscle–whatever type of cell your body needs. And these are 100% ethically-sourced, never endangering babies or their mothers.

Your doctor will review your lab work and current health condition to determine the best application technique and the right quantity of stem cells for your condition.

It can be. Just as you wouldn’t let just any provider perform surgery on you, you should endeavor to find a qualified doctor preferably away from places where there is a high crime rate (like border towns). Every year, millions from all over the globe travel to Mexico for dental surgery, plastic surgery, and many other specialized medical procedures for a fraction of the cost.

At StemLife Clinic, our doctors and clinical team are committed to practicing safe medicine that is regulated by COFEPRIS, Mexico’s equivalent to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Our beautiful clinic is located in Guadalajara, Jalisco, one of the safest and most prestigious and affluent cities of Mexico.

Since Guadalajara isn’t near the US border which is known for cartel violence, our clinic is safer than Tijuana and northern Baja California.

Thanks to the quality and quantity of cells transplanted, yes, our mesenchymal stem cell therapy is superior to therapies available in North America, hence why patients are traveling to Mexico to receive treatment.

Quality of stem cells: our clinic and partners use international-caliber cellular expansion and cryopreservation techniques that yield mesenchymal stem cells that are about 10x more potent than others in North America. These procedures and our supplementary therapies ensure the stem cells from our clinic have a 94% viability rate for differentiation at the time our patients receive the cellular transplants.

Quantity of stem cells: Thanks to these advanced procedures, you can receive up to 300 million mesenchymal stem cells in a single dose at our clinic! Which is 6x more than clinics in North America and other countries that can only provide upwards of 40 million stem cells. Because they have not yet adopted these international standards, those cells are typically of low viability rate, are from controversial sources, and are permitted in only a few cases.

In fact, beyond the Americas, there are many other countries in Europe, Asia, and Oceania that use these superior techniques for stem cell therapy. Our stem cell clinic in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico is more accessible for travel, price, and quality.

The next step is to send a message to our medical review team to determine if you are a candidate for treatment with stem cells. Then, on a free video or phone consultation, we’ll discuss our suggested treatment protocol and pricing.
