Anja Health is a personalized doctor-backed cord blood banking company that freezes umbilical cord and placenta stem cells. It sends a kit to soon-to-be parents in preparation for their birth experience. The baby's umbilical cord is clamped and cut immediately after birth, but Anja Health's offering allows for up to 2 minutes of delayed cord clamping.
