Great all around and easy to use

Great all around and easy to use. The customer service went above and beyond to get the box with everything we needed inside to us before my fiancé got induced. The pick up process was just as easy as the ordering process and timely as well.

The Anja Health team is awesome!

The Anja Health team is awesome! I ended up giving birth early and they got me a box in 24 hours. The box got here before my son! They were in contact with me the whole time til it arrived, and was always sweet and supportive. The directions on the box were easy to follow and your samples look cool packaged.

Anja health has been nothing but the best

Anja health has been nothing but the best! I could not imagine going through a different company. They have been so graceful with their payment plans and are incredibly understanding. They made the collection process during my labor of twins as easy as possible for staff to collect both cord blood and placentas. I find such solace in knowing my kids have access to their stem cells if ever needed!

As seen on the Anja Health Podcast

Dr. Jitsen Chang
OB/GYN

"I felt like [cord blood banking] was one thing I could do as an insurance policy so that God forbid my child were to have a devastating diagnosis like leukemia or lymphoma and needed a transplant that they could get a transplant from themselves."

Dr. Matt Guile
OB/GYN

"Collecting with your kit was seamless! No problems whatsoever. I actually think it's hugely beneficial to store cord blood - not only for treatment of metabolic diseases or leukemia - but for things like spinal cord injury, Autism, cerebral palsy, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. The research is really impressive. Who knows what the next 15 years will bring."

Michelle Curtis
Labor & Delivery Nurse

“I think it's amazing I think it can be life-saving I think it's going to change the world with some of the studies that are done.”

Dr. Allison Rodgers
OB/GYN

"I banked blood for each of my 3 kids, and it's so nice to know that I have it."

Delayed Cord Clamping, Without the Compromise

At Anja Health, you don’t have to choose between delayed cord clamping and cord blood banking. We honor your birth plan — you can delay cord clamping and still send in what remains for processing. In most cases, it’s enough to store your baby’s stem cells; if not, we’ll issue a full refund. That means you get the benefits of delayed cord clamping and the peace of mind that comes with preserving what’s left.
