Celebrities are turning to the latest advancements in science—and they want you to know that you can too. To potentially help benefit the future health of their little ones and family, famous figures like Chrissy Teigen are saying "yes" to cord blood banking with Cord Blood Registry®(CBR®).1
Cord blood banking is a simple and painless process of collecting and storing newborn stem cells (a.k.a. cord blood and cord tissue) from the umbilical cord after delivery. With CBR, over 700 families have used their preserved cord blood samples for potentially life-saving transplants and other therapies.2 Over 80 conditions, such as blood disorders, certain cancers, immune disorders and metabolic disorders, may be treated using these valuable cells.3
Banking your baby's cord blood with CBR is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that can potentially help protect you and your family’s future health!
Chrissy Teigen, Kealia Watt and Arielle Charnas are paid CBR ambassadors.

The use of cord blood is determined by the treating physician and is influenced by many factors, including the patient's medical condition, the characteristics of the sample, and whether the cord blood should come from the patient or an appropriately matched donor. Cord blood has established uses in transplant medicine; however, its use in regenerative medicine is still being researched. There is no guarantee that potential medical applications being studied in the laboratory or clinical trials will become available.
Cord tissue use is still in early research stages, and there is no guarantee that treatments using cord tissue will be available in the future. Cord tissue is stored whole. Additional processing prior to use will be required to extract and prepare any of the multiple cell types from cryopreserved cord tissue. Cbr Systems, Inc.’s activities for New York State residents are limited to collection of umbilical cord tissue and long-term storage of umbilical cord–derived stem cells. Cbr Systems, Inc.’s possession of a New York State license for such collection and long-term storage does not indicate approval or endorsem*nt of possible future uses or future suitability of these cells.
