Are Stem Cells Legal in Medicine?
Yes, pluripotent mesenchymal stem cells are legal in medicine. Holistic Bio Spa provides 100% legal and certified stem cells from Latin America’s top stem cell banks licensed by the COFEPRIS (Mexico’s Federal Health Ministry equivalent to the FDA).
In our sterilized clinical environments, quality and safety are the #1 priority. We follow international standards that are more rigorous than North American standards to ensure superior results.

Patient Testimonials: Does Stem Cell Therapy Work?
I had a bike accident and I had been living my life with enormous pain in my hip. We made the decision ... treatment with stem cells. I didn't really know about it, but Dr. Zoli explained in such a great way. And the therapy ended with such a great, great thing, I just got back my life! I'm not living my life with constant, 24-hour pain in my hip!

Frequently Asked Questions About Stem Cells Used Legally in Medicine
Federal Health Ministry Certifications
Our labs’ quality control is based on the highest international clinical standards and they are active members of the Stem Cell Association of Latin America.
Stem cells are legal to use in regenerative medicine if your provider has FDA or equivalent approval to transfuse or transplant stem cells. At our stem cell therapy clinics in Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Vallarta, we use 100% ethically-sourced stem cells that are approved by the federal health ministry for use in regenerative medicine.
We obtain all our mesenchymal stem cells from these cryobanks for use in intravenous stem cell therapy and implanting compatible tissue with stem cells. As you can see in the accompanying documents, all of our labs have licenses to extract, harvest, store, and administer stem cells for medical purposes.
What types of stem cells are safe to use in medicine?
- + Self-extracted stem cells iPSCs are adult stem cells extracted from your own body, such as those involved in bone marrow transplants or various forms of prolotherapy, but these are limited to becoming that specific type of cell; in other words, an extracted red blood cell cannot become a brain cell, heart cell, nor a lung cell.
Autologous stem cells are extracted, cultivated, and harvested from your own bone marrow. These marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) have a high success rate because they are already programmed to your DNA.
- + Allogeneic Donor stem cells Allogeneic stem cells are extracted from a qualifying donor (usually a relative), cultivated, and harvested to generate high-quality stem cells for your body.
- + Pluripotent mesenchymal stem cells Mesenchymal stem cells are responsible for the proper formation of organs, bones, cartilage, skin, hair, nerves, and more. With just one injection, we administer a dose of millions of stem cells! These mobilize quickly in the body looking for areas that need help and regenerates into those specific types of tissue or nerves. Almost instantly, the causes of pain, autoimmune diseases, and chronic degenerative disorders (like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s) begin to reverse. And that’s just one dose in the treatment protocol.
Umbilical cord and placenta stem cells are ethically sourced from the placenta and umbilical cord (never harming the embryo itself) of a healthy, carefully screened new mother within her 1st trimester. All stem cells have restorative properties that can be applied in treating medical conditions. These stem cells especially are teeming with 100% natural growth potential thanks to the wondrous processes during pregnancy and can:
- Heal cancer-infected organs and tissues.
- Speed up the recovery time from injuries or surgeries, even preventing the formation of scar tissue.
- Reduce pain—especially joint pain caused by chronic disease.
- Increase range of motion, flexibility, and sleep quality.
- Repair nerve damage and regenerate brain cells.
- Increase collagen—when used for aesthetic procedures.
- Reduce and restore hair loss.
The COFEPRIS granted these federal licenses recognizing our labs as legal Stem Cell Banks nationwide and authorizing the ethical collection and management of stem cells in Mexico.
Video Testimonials About Stem Cell Therapy
‘‘Robert looked at me like I was crazy and said, ‘But Sandrine, these are adult patients—adults do not grow new nerve cells.’ And much to his surprise, I said, ‘Well, actually, we do.' Robert isn't a neuroscientist..."
‘‘He said there is no cure, and I was pregnant with twins. It was absolutely devastating to know that I would be a mom and that I would eventually go blind.”
