When it comes to stem cell therapy, not all harvests are created equal. The number of viable stem cells—those alive and ready to repair tissue—determines how effective a treatment can be. So which source gives the most usable cells? The clear winner is adipose tissue, commonly known as fat.
💡 Why Cell Counts Matter
n stem cell therapy, results depend on how many living, functional cells are delivered. Too few viable cells can mean slower healing and reduced outcomes. That’s why leading regenerative medicine centers measure cell counts and viability before using them in treatment.

🧬 Adipose Tissue: The Top Source for Viable Stem Cells
Adipose tissue contains up to 2,500 times more mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) than bone marrow. These cells can be harvested safely using gentle liposuction under local anesthesia, making the process both efficient and comfortable.
Typical yield: 500,000–1,000,000 viable stem cells per milliliter
Viability rate: 85–95%
Autologous (your own): No risk of rejection
Same-day harvest and use

🩸 Other Sources Compared
Bone Marrow: Fewer viable cells, more invasive procedure, lower yield with age.
Umbilical Cord/Placenta: High counts but donor-derived, not from your own body—raising safety and regulatory concerns.
