Shereene Idriss explains what exosomes are and where they come from: stem cells, bone marrow, platelets, fat, umbilical cord. Human-derived exosomes have some evidence behind them. Plant-based exosomes don't. No exosome products are FDA-approved, and quality varies wildly between manufacturers.
Okay, guys, let's talk quickly about exosomes before I answer this question. Exosomes are derived from your body, from stem cells, from bone marrow, platelets, fat, your umbilical cord. And what it does is that it signals your cells to rejuvenate and regenerate itself. And this is why people are talking about exosomes as the future of regenerative medicine. It is derived from humans. There's also plant based exosomes, but the data is really limited because last I checked, the genetics between me and a plant is very different. Not because I don't consume that many plants, but because I'm a human and it's a plant. Very different. It's not going to really work that much. So you really want to get human based exosomes now? Human based exosomes getting injected or applied topically onto your skin. There's like six manufacturers or so, and none of these are FDA approved. How are you getting apples to apples, to apples to apples to apples? You're not. You're getting apples to cranberries, to blueberries, to potatoes, to tomatoes. Because nothing between these six manufacturers is streamlined.
