At APC, we believe in delivering science-backed, natural solutions to support pet health. Plasma—a functional protein derived from animal blood—is revolutionizing pet nutrition by enhancing the quality, palatability, and health benefits of treats and supplements for dogs and cats across all life stages.
WHAT IS PLASMA?
Plasma is the liquid component of blood, rich in proteins like albumin and globulin, as well as essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. Through a meticulous spray drying process, plasma is transformed into a stable, powdered form suitable for nearly any application.
