Whole Blood Contains Many Elements
Whole Blood is spun at high speeds to separate the plasma and red cells and then spray dried where it is transformed into powder.
Plasma is the straw-colored liquid in which red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets are suspended.
Mode Action Of Plasma
The mode of action of plasma is actually very simple. Plasma is comprised of a complex mixture of functional proteins (we call them FPs for short) that include transferrin, lysozymes, growth factors, cytokines, immunoglobulins and many other components that have a profound, positive impact on animals. Consumed orally, the FPs don’t interfere with the body’s natural immune response to inflammation, but instead they help the immune system to respond more quickly and efficiently. This helps animals to use their energy for productive functions instead of using it to fight the stressor. FPs help to minimize the effects of stressors and get animals back to normal quickly, effectively and consistently.
APC’s plasma FPs are formulated with other ingredients nutritionally important to animals to target a specific problem and the appropriate response. Through research and working with our customers, APC fine-tunes the appropriate level of FPs in the diet to help solve the problems caused by common stressors. The result is a fast, visual response in the animal, allowing them to thrive. A complete listing of the more than 600 peer-reviewed, published journal articles highlighting the global research conducted by APC and independent scientists is available upon request.
The Immune System Connection
Inflammation and an overactive immune response to stressors takes a toll on animals. People too – think about how difficult it is to go about your daily routine when you aren’t feeling well. The same thing happens with pigs, poultry, companion animals – and even fish! Finding ways to help support a normal immune and inflammatory response is important to keeping animals healthy and productive. APC has spent years researching the mode of action of plasma – basically how plasma works.
