A women’s monthly miracle is the menstrual blood naturally shed during each menstrual cycle. The menstrual cell comes from a woman's endometrium, or lining of the uterus, derived from her monthly menstrual cycle.

Until now, menstrual blood has typically been discarded as unsanitary waste. However, exciting new research shows that menstrual fluid contains self-renewing stem cells that can be easily collected, processed and cryo-preserved for potential cellular therapies that may emerge in the future.

The menstrual stem cell comes from the uterine lining (endometrium) that is shed as part of a woman’s menstrual period. These menstrual stem cells are “Mesenchymal stem cells” and are unique because they have many properties and characteristics similar to both bone marrow and embryonic stem cells; they multiply rapidly and can differentiate into many other types of stem cells such as neural, cardiac, bone, fat, cartilage and possibly others; demonstrating great promise for future use in clinical regenerative medical therapies. Preliminary research suggests that in addition to potential use by the donor, these stem cells may possibly be used as well to benefit other family members who are genetically related to the donor, such as perhaps a parent, sibling or child.

LifeCell Femme - a revolutionary service provides women with the unique opportunity to collect and preserve these vital stem cells that can be harvested from the body's menstrual blood during the menstrual cycle demonstrating great promise for future use in clinical regenerative medical therapies.

Preserving your menstrual blood ensures that you and your family will have a source of stem cells that is an exact match, with almost no risk of rejection, if need arises for medical treatment.
