Program at a glance
What matters most, at a glance
A fast, patient-friendly summary of the service, likely travel window, and how the coordination works.
What this program is
A physician-supervised cellular wellness program at a partner clinic in Turkey. The doctor reviews your case and decides what to offer — usually an IV-based program over a few days, sometimes paired with check-ups and supportive care. The exact biological material and protocol structure vary by partner clinic and physician review, so patients should ask for the written program description before travel. These programs are not approved by the FDA or any US federal regulatory body.
Commonly explored by
Adults researching wellness programs after talking with their own US doctor. Only the partner doctor decides if the program is a fit for you, and only after reviewing your history. Astramedica doesn't make that call.
What the program typically includes
A typical trip usually looks like this:
- An intake review with the partner doctor
- Bloodwork and basic screening at the clinic
- Two or three program sessions over 3 to 5 days
- Rest at your hotel between sessions
- A written summary you can share with your US doctor
- Remote check-ins for a few weeks after you return
Typical travel window
Plan for 4 to 6 nights in Istanbul. Direct flights from major US cities are easy to find — our team helps you sort it out.
What Astramedica coordinates
We handle the travel side, not the medical side:
- One US-based coordinator you can reach from day one through your return flight
- A short list of vetted partner clinics, with doctor credentials and lab info
- Flights, airport pickups, and hotel bookings
- Translator help when you meet the doctor
- Paperwork pass-through and scheduling your follow-ups after you get home

Program overview
What this service can look like
A clearer picture of the journey before you book anything with a clinic or arrange travel.
This is a physician-supervised stem cell program for people in the US who want to travel to Turkey for cellular support. Your care is handled by an independent doctor at a partner clinic — not by Astramedica. We help you compare clinics, book your travel, and stay with you through the trip. The partner doctor makes every medical decision.
We don't work with just any clinic. Before a clinic joins the partner list, we check licensing, laboratory accreditation, and the doctors' qualifications. You'll get a written summary of the clinic's specific program description before you travel so you know what to expect.
Broad stem cell searches also pull in research pages, transplant pages, and cancer-related hospital pathways. This program is a different category, so patients should make sure they are comparing the right kind of pathway before deciding.
Stem cell and exosome-based programs are not FDA-approved for any therapeutic use. Before booking, please talk to your regular US doctor about whether this experimental program is a fit for you.
Why patients look at Turkey
“Turkey is one of the places where people research physician-supervised cellular support programs. Clinics there run under the Turkish Ministry of Health. Some jurisdictions may operate under different legal and regulatory frameworks, but these programs are not FDA-approved for therapeutic use in the US. Before a partner clinic joins our list, we check its license, its lab accreditation, and the doctors' backgrounds.”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The practical questions patients usually ask before they move from researching into reaching out.
What is the US regulatory status of this program?
Stem cell and exosome-based programs are not FDA-approved for any therapeutic use. The program runs at partner clinics in Turkey under the Turkish Ministry of Health, which uses a different regulatory framework.
Does Astramedica administer the program?
No. Astramedica is a US-based travel and planning company. We don't operate clinics, employ doctors, or administer any biological products. Everything medical is done by independent licensed doctors at the partner clinic.
What happens during the partner doctor review?
The doctor at the partner clinic reviews the medical history you send, talks with you about your goals, and decides whether the program is appropriate for your case. Astramedica doesn't take part in this medical decision.
What type of stem cell program is this?
There is not one universal cell type or protocol across every partner clinic. The independent physician documents the exact program description in writing after reviewing the case, and Astramedica does not advertise one fixed cell source for every patient.
How long is the on-site stay?
Most people plan a 3 to 5 day trip. The exact length depends on what the partner clinic recommends for your specific program and any post-stay observation.
