Whartons Jellytic Growth Factors: The Basics
The phrase “Whartons Jellytic growth factors” probably gives you a good idea of where this substance comes from. It is derived from the innermost layer of the placenta, which is voluntarily donated by mothers who deliver by C-section. The process of collecting the fluid is extremely safe and doesn’t affect the baby or mother.
The fluid is then processed and refined, creating something that is extremely rich in growth factors and precursor cells (including stem cells).
How Whartons Jellytic Growth Factors Heal the Body
Whartons Jellytic growth factor therapy is an injectable treatment. While using ultrasound guidance, the growth factors are deposited in and near injured tissues in order to help them rapidly regenerate themselves.
Essentially, Whartons Jellytic growth factors contain the “fuel” your body uses to create new, healthy tissues. What this treatment does is place this fuel in a particular spot to jumpstart the process.
After a patient receives Whartons Jellytic growth factors, they should notice a drastic reduction in inflammation and pain. For joints, it can also lead to an increase in mobility and strength. And, because the results stem from the body healing itself, they can be trusted to last for several months to over a year before a patient may need a follow-up treatment.
