Why Certain Stem Cell Treatments Are Restricted in the U.S.
Many people ask why some stem cell therapies aren’t available in the United States.
The main reason isn’t safety, it’s regulation.
In the U.S., the FDA often classifies advanced stem cell therapies as drugs. That means they must go through years of trials, approvals, and administrative processes before becoming widely available.
While regulation plays an important role, it can also delay access for people already living with chronic pain, autoimmune conditions, or degenerative diseases. People who may not have the luxury of waiting years.
In other countries, such as Colombia, stem cell therapies like umbilical cord–derived stem cells are regulated under different legal frameworks. Licensed medical centers operate with strict safety standards, ethical sourcing, and clinical oversight, without the same level of bureaucratic delay.
That’s why medical tourism has grown rapidly. Patients are seeking legal, regulated, and innovative care that is already being used to support healing and recovery around the world.
