What does the natural biologics literature study?

Published scientific research in this field examines topics including:

  • Functional biology research
  • Cell and tissue biology
  • Cellular inflammatory processes
  • Comfort-related scientific literature

How does the literature describe inflammation?

In the scientific literature, cellular inflammation is described as a defense mechanism and part of the immune system's response to stimuli such as damaged cells, pathogens, toxic compounds, or irradiation. Researchers note that inflammation is not inherently “bad” — it is described as part of normal biological processes. The literature discusses how a sustained imbalance between inflammation and recovery may be associated with chronic inflammation.

This section summarizes how published research characterizes these biological processes. It is provided for educational and informational purposes only and does not describe the intended use, performance, or effect of any GGEVITYY material.

How does the literature describe umbilical cord tissue?

Scientific literature describes the biological characteristics of the umbilical cord as being associated with Wharton's Jelly (WJ). Published research characterizes Wharton's Jelly as containing the following components:

Extracellular matrix

Described in the literature as making up roughly 95% of Wharton's Jelly by wet weight, including collagen, glycoprotein, hyaluronic acid, sulfated glycosaminoglycan, and diffusible plasma proteins. Collagen I is reported as the most common protein in Wharton's Jelly.

Mesenchymal stem cells

The literature reports Wharton's Jelly as having a high concentration of mesenchymal stem cells relative to tissues with a rich extracellular matrix. These cells are described in research settings as immunoprivileged and non-tumorigenic and are studied in laboratory settings for their biological characteristics.

Growth factors, cytokines, and extracellular vesicles (exosomes)

These substances are studied in scientific literature for their biological properties in laboratory and research settings.
