Most clinics and orthopedic surgeons use a synthetic form of Hyaluronic Acid which does not lead to tissue regeneration and the growth of cartilage in joints. At Embody Wellness Naturopathic, we use a form of Hyaluronic Acid derived from Wharton’s Jelly contained within umbilical cord tissue. Along with Hyaluronic Acid, the main material that joints are made of, the Wharton’s Jelly contains growth factors and 28 types of collagens to enhance joint health.
How do you use Hyaluronic Acid?
At Embody Wellness Naturopathic, we use Prolozone or Ozone gas with the Hyaluronic Acid injections to help stimulate the cartilage cells to integrate the Hyaluronic Acid material into the cartilage tissue. They work best together to supercharge regeneration and joint health.
FDA allows for human cell and tissue products to be marketed in the U.S. for medical use. At Embody Wellness, the choice for Wharton’s Jelly products comes from a AATB certified lab, which is the gold standard for the biological tissue industry for safety and quality.
Is Hyaluronic Acid Safe?
The Wharton Jelly products are safe and do not trigger any immune reactions (immune naïve and do not contain histocompatibility antigens) or any significant risk of transfusion type of reactions, meaning tissue rejection from this type of donor tissue/cell. The Wharton Jelly products are thoroughly tested for sterility from any infectious conditions.
