I was asked in another thread about which agency is most concerning (or something to that effect). And it got me thinking.



Most regenerative medicine clinics worry about the ๐—™๐——๐—”......and for good reason. The agency has cracked down on unapproved stem cell, SVF, and amniotic products. But hereโ€™s what often gets missed: the ๐—™๐—ง๐—– is just as active, and their lens is very different.

And lately, the FTC and the FDA has shown it will strongly govern clinics from marketing regenerative therapies if claims are unsupported.



๐—ง๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐˜†: Even if your biologic processing fits FDA exemptions, sloppy or exaggerated marketing can put you in the FTCโ€™s crosshairs.
