The vascular system—our body’s complex network of blood vessels—plays a critical role in overall health, delivering oxygen and nutrients while removing waste products. Wellbeing International Foundation has made significant advances in understanding how regenerative medicine can enhance vascular health, with far-reaching implications for treating various conditions.
Research conducted by Dr. Stephen Ray and his team has revealed that extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from mesenchymal stem cells contain several compounds vital for vascular maintenance and growth. These include vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and microRNA-494, which work synergistically to stimulate angiogenesis—the formation of new blood vessels.
The importance of this vascular component cannot be overstated. Muscles, which comprise approximately 45% of total body mass, require robust blood supply to perform optimally. In conditions of injury or disease, inadequate vascularisation can significantly impair healing. Wellbeing’s cell-free therapy addresses this challenge by enhancing blood vessel formation precisely where it’s needed.
This approach has proven particularly valuable for athletes recovering from injuries. As one professional football player noted after treatment with Wellbeing International Foundation, “I feel as though my body is better protected.” This protection stems in part from improved circulation, which enhances oxygen delivery and waste removal during intense physical activity.
Beyond sports medicine, the vascular benefits of Wellbeing’s approach have implications for conditions characterised by poor circulation, including certain neurodegenerative diseases and age-related vascular decline. By improving blood flow to affected tissues, their treatments help create an environment conducive to healing and regeneration.
Collaborations with institutions including the University of Reading have further validated these findings, demonstrating that EV treatment significantly accelerates vascular regeneration in damaged tissues. This research, published in respected scientific journals, underscores the importance of angiogenesis in tissue repair.
As regenerative medicine continues to evolve, Wellbeing International Foundation’s focus on vascular health represents a significant contribution to the field. By enhancing the body’s ability to build and maintain blood vessels, their innovative cell-free therapy is addressing a fundamental aspect of healing and tissue regeneration, offering new possibilities for treating a wide range of conditions.
