Physioxic HUC-MSC · Made in-house since 2014
Stem cells cultured in low oxygen. Tested batch by batch.
Yakin Medic grows umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HUC-MSCs) under physioxic conditions, the lower oxygen levels found inside the body, in our own GMP-certified lab. Every batch is checked for purity, viability and safety before it is released.
Oxygen level during culture
Where physioxic began
It began with thin air in the Himalayas.
Our founder, Patrick Tan, travelled from Kathmandu to Kongde Ri in Nepal's Everest region. At high altitude he struggled to breathe, and he was fortunate to be flown back to lower ground by helicopter.
The experience left him with a question: how do people such as experienced high-altitude hikers survive in air that thin? He turned to the research and learned that the cells inside the human body already live in low-oxygen conditions. That is why Yakin Medic focuses on manufacturing stem cells in low oxygen.
Follow his route
At sea level, air is 21% oxygen. Higher up it is still 21% oxygen, but the pressure drops, so every breath carries less of it. Drag the hiker to see how much.
Drag the hiker up or down, or pick a stop.

Why this matters for cells
Cells inside the body never meet room air. Oxygen falls step by step on its way from the lungs to the tissues, so cells live their whole lives at lower oxygen levels. That natural level is called physioxia. We culture our cells within that range instead of at room air.
Oxygen figures are calculated from standard air pressure at each altitude.

03 — About us
Culturing umbilical cord stem cells in Malaysia since 2014.
At a glance
Yakin Medic isolates and cultures stem cells from donated umbilical cord tissue. We have done this in our own laboratory, to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards, since 2014.
We supply stem cell therapies to aesthetic clinics and hospitals, mostly in China, Dubai, Indonesia and Hong Kong, and we contribute to Malaysia's medical tourism industry.
We work with researchers in regenerative medicine around the world to keep our methods current.
Our brand
Our logo stands for two commitments: quality-controlled, carefully secured mesenchymal stem cell therapy, and personal, attentive service for every customer.
Founder's message
Patrick Tan, Founder
We have many years of experience in stem cell therapy.
Our cell culture standards are built on a method patented by the University of California, Davis, and our stem cells are manufactured to strict safety standards.
This collaboration supports stem cell research. We also want to take part in public discussion of the ethical, legal and social questions that stem cell science raises.
Mission
To produce stem cells at scale, at a price people can reach, and to bring them to those who need them. Our goal is healthy longevity and a more active, healthy society.
Vision
To be a one-stop provider of stem cell manufacturing and consultation, and to develop tailored stem cell therapies that are safe and effective, turning stem cell knowledge into practical biotechnology and therapies.
Culture
Reliability, efficiency and responsibility. These are the traits we build into our work. We keep our promises, aim to exceed expectations, and keep improving our service.

05 — Common questions
What people ask before they enquire.
Is it safe?
Every batch goes through safety testing before release, in a GMP-certified lab. Your consultation covers what is known about risks and side effects.
Where do the cells come from?
HUC-MSCs come from donated human umbilical cord tissue, collected after birth with consent.
What does “physioxic” mean, and why does it matter?
Physioxic means the oxygen level cells experience inside the body, which is lower than room air. We culture our cells at that lower level. The Physioxic MSC page will set out the evidence.
How much does it cost?
Price depends on dosage, and dosage depends on your medical report. We give you a personal quote after your consultation.
