A short transcript from a YouTube video by Joy Kong, MD titled "The Effects of Stem Cell Treatments on the Body." The speaker explains that administered stem cells typically persist in the body for about 1–3 months and that the regenerative signals they secrete (exosomes, growth factors) produce effects lasting on average another ~3 months. The speaker suggests retreatment intervals: roughly every six months to maintain regenerative signaling, or every three months if one wants living donor-like cells continuously present.

Questions this video answers

About one to three months.

About another three months (on average).

Roughly once every six months to maintain signals; every three months if one wants cells continuously present.

In general, the stem cells will live in your body for about one to three months. And then the benefits, you know, that they secrete exosomes and all these growth factors and that will have an effect in the body, and that effect will last for, on average, about another three months. So that's just an average. We're talking about average here. So if you always want to have some of these signals that's promoting regeneration in your body, then maybe once every six months. But if you always want some cells in your body, these young cells that help you, that's active and triggering all these regeneration, that may be every three months.
