Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is widely known for its potential to support the body’s natural healing processes, especially in musculoskeletal care. Traditional PRP involves drawing a patient’s blood, processing it through a centrifuge, and re-injecting the platelet-rich portion into targeted areas to promote recovery. At Physical Healthcare of Jacksonville, we offer VittiPure — a next-generation regenerative matrix that builds on the foundations of PRP without relying on a blood draw or centrifuge. VittiPure is pre-formulated and ready to use — delivering a consistent, biologically rich solution designed to support joint function, mobility, and tissue wellness as part of an integrative regenerative care plan.

What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy?

Traditional PRP therapy involves drawing a patient’s blood, spinning it in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets, and re-injecting that plasma into the injured area. The goal is to deliver growth factors that may support healing of soft tissues like tendons, ligaments, and joints. PRP is often used in sports medicine and orthopedics, but its effectiveness can vary depending on a person’s age, health, and overall platelet quality.

Key facts about PRP therapy:

  • Personalized preparation: PRP uses the patient’s own blood, drawn and processed through a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets.
  • Supportive intent: The concentrated plasma is re-injected into targeted areas to introduce growth factors that may support healing in soft tissues such as tendons, ligaments, and joints.
  • Widely used in certain fields: Traditional PRP is often used in sports medicine, orthopedics, and recovery protocols for overuse injuries.
  • Variable outcomes: Effectiveness may depend on the individual’s age, overall health, and platelet quality — which can influence consistency of results.

VittiPure: A Modern Advancement in PRP Alternatives

VittiPure offers a regenerative option that doesn’t rely on your own blood. Instead, it’s derived from Wharton’s Jelly, a rich source of extracellular matrix (ECM) , growth factors, and structural proteins, and is used in many clinical settings as a supportive tool for musculoskeletal care. VittiPure is designed to offer a consistent formulation every time. It contains over 1,000 naturally occurring growth factors, multiple collagen types, hyaluronic acid, peptides, and other bioactive components known to play a role in tissue structure and function. Hyaluronic acid contributes to synovial fluid viscosity and plays a role in joint lubrication and shock absorption.

Key features of VittiPure:

  • Wharton’s Jelly-derived: Sourced from umbilical tissue, which is rich in naturally occurring structural and regenerative components.
  • Consistent formulation: Offers a standardized blend of bioactive compounds, unlike PRP which can vary by patient.
  • Component-rich matrix: Includes over 1,000 growth factors, multiple types of collagen, hyaluronic acid, peptides, and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins — all known to play roles in tissue support and structural integrity.
  • Used as part of an integrative plan: Often incorporated into broader treatment strategies focused on mobility, joint health, and overall recovery support.
Disclaimer: VittiPure is not FDA-approved to treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition. It is considered an investigational therapy and is used at Physical Healthcare of Jacksonville as part of a supportive care approach.

How VittiPure Differs from Standard PRP

While both VittiPure and traditional platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapies are used in regenerative settings to support tissue recovery, their preparation, consistency, and biological components differ in important ways. Understanding these differences can help patients make informed choices about which option aligns with their needs and goals.
Feature Traditional PRP VittiPure
Source Your own blood (autologous) Wharton’s Jelly (donor-derived tissue matrix)
Platelet Concentration Varies by individual health and platelet quality Pre-formulated, high concentration
Procedure Requirements Requires in-office blood draw and centrifuge processing No blood draw; ready-to-use
Consistency of Results Dependent on patient’s age, hydration, and biology Standardized formulation across treatments
Supportive Components Primarily platelets and plasma proteins Contains growth factors, collagen, hyaluronic acid, ECM, and peptides
Processing Time 30–45 minutes (including prep time) Minimal; prepared and administered in a single visit
Suitability for Older Adults May be less effective if platelet quality is low Not impacted by individual platelet levels or age
Regulatory Status May be offered under FDA exemptions; depends on use and protocol Considered an investigational 361-compliant tissue product
Use in Care Plans Often used in sports medicine or orthopedic practices Used as part of a broader supportive care strategy for tissue wellness

What Conditions Is VittiPure Used to Support?

At Physical Healthcare of Jacksonville, we use VittiPure as part of a broader, integrative approach to support patients dealing with:
  • Joint stiffness or cartilage wear
  • Chronic tendon or ligament irritation
  • Soft tissue strain from repetitive movement
  • Mild-to-moderate arthritis
  • Recovery support after orthopedic procedures
While individual results vary, many patients choose VittiPure as an option to explore non-surgical paths for managing joint discomfort and promoting mobility.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Your VittiPure session is simple, quick, and non-invasive. Here’s how it typically works:
  • Evaluation: We assess your condition to determine if VittiPure is appropriate.
  • Application: The regenerative matrix is applied via a targeted injection.
  • Recovery: Most patients return to daily activities quickly, though we may recommend modified movement for a few days.
  • Follow-Up: You may notice results gradually over the course of several weeks. Some patients require multiple sessions depending on the condition.

FAQs: Choosing VittiPure for Regenerative Support

While both are used in regenerative care settings, VittiPure is derived from Wharton’s Jelly — a naturally rich source of growth factors, extracellular matrix (ECM), and structural proteins. Unlike PRP, which depends on the quality of a patient’s own blood, VittiPure is pre-formulated to offer a consistent blend of supportive components for musculoskeletal and joint wellness.

VittiPure is not intended to replace conventional medical treatment or surgical intervention. However, it is often explored by individuals seeking non-surgical options to support joint function, mobility, and soft tissue integrity as part of a broader care strategy.

VittiPure is minimally manipulated and used in accordance with FDA Section 361, which allows for investigational use under specific conditions. It contains no live cells and is processed for safety and consistency. As with any biologic therapy, your provider will assess whether it’s appropriate for your individual health needs.

Regenerative therapies like VittiPure are typically not covered by insurance. Costs vary based on treatment area and plan. During your consultation, we’ll walk you through transparent pricing and discuss payment options so you can make an informed decision.
