Forever Labs cryopreserves your adult stem cells to create a reservoir of young stem cells for future use. The decline in the number and viability of stem cells contributes to the decline in health associated with aging. Stem cell replacement experiments in mice suggest that young-to-old transplantation of stem cells can extend healthy lifespan. Mark Katakowski co-founded Forever Labs with the goal to bring autologous stem cell replacement therapy to humans. https://foreverlabs.com
