Aging is a complex degenerative process that occurs in everyone in time. Everyone’s cells accumulate damage and weaken over the course of their life. While lifestyle factors such as stress, smoking, or poor diet can accelerate the aging process, ultimately this cellular damage is inevitable through the wear-and-tear of normal daily life.

In early age, the body is able to utilize its own stem cell pools to regenerate and rejuvenate this ongoing damage. Targeted versions of these stem cells exist in every organ and tissue in the body, but the body’s largest stem cell pool exists in the bone marrow, which can release cells to support the regeneration of any other organ or tissue in the body.

However, as the body ages, all of the internal sources of these stem cell pools—including the bone marrow—begin to decay. They begin to produce fewer new cells and the body has fewer building blocks to replace damaged old cells. The body’s organs and tissue begin to accumulate old and damaged cells, and progressively lose the ability to self-repair and regenerate their structures and functioning.}

The indications of aging typically begin around 40 years old, and include everything from poor memory and declining mental functioning, to general fatigue and pain, to loss of skin texture, hair color, and libido. These symptoms continue to worsen over time, if untreated.

In short: aging is a debilitating degenerative disorder that can only be effectively treated by repairing the body’s ability to regenerate itself, through the introduction of new stem cells into the body after it has reduced its ability to produce its own.

Unfortunately, conventional therapies do not address these underlying elements of aging and at best can mask its symptoms in the short-term.
