Athlete Protocols
Clinics like Golden Cells have developed protocols specifically for professional athletes. Focus on sports injuries, recovery optimization, and performance enhancement.
Published Research
Stem Cell Institute has published peer-reviewed research on their protocols. More scientific documentation than most international clinics.
