When buying pet food, treats, and supplements, modern pet parents don't just look for quality ingredients or complete and balanced nutrition. They also place emphasis on things like functional ingredients with health benefits. Plasma is a clean, natural, and highly digestible nutrient source that stands out as a functional ingredient because it benefits health and helps the planet. Learn more about plasma, how it supports whole-body health, and great products that feature it.

 

Plasma Supports Human Health and Pet Health


Plasma is the liquid component of blood. So when you donate blood, you're giving plasma, a life-saving gift used around the world every day to help people survive and thrive. And just like plasma supports human health, so too can it play a meaningful role in pet health and nutrition. Plasma sourced from pigs and cattle is collected and dried, preserving the amino acids, nutrients, bioactive compounds, and highly digestible proteins. It's a tasty, functional ingredient that can be added to pet foods, treats, and supplements to support vitality, well-being, and everyday health.

 

Adding Plasma to a Dog's or Cat's Diet Is Good for the Whole Body


Plasma about 70% to 80% protein, so you can see right away one of the main benefits for dogs and cats. Four-legged family members rely on protein-rich diets to build and repair tissues, produce enzymes and hormones, and support overall growth, function, and energy. Beyond that, plasma also contains a myriad of other beneficial compounds, including:
 

  • Amino acids
  • Electrolytes
  • Minerals
  • Antibodies
  • Immunoglobulins
  • Bioactive peptides
  • Growth factors
     

Together, these compounds have a systemic effect, supporting the immune system and its ability to respond to stress and inflammation. They also help with digestive health, the gut microbiome, nutrient absorption, muscle development, skin and coat health, and energy levels.
 

What's more, plasma is a valuable byproduct of meat processing. Reclaiming plasma from the meat industry reduces waste, minimizes environmental impacts, and supports a more efficient food system.
 

Easy Ways to Add Plasma to Your Dog's or Cat's Diet


Plasma is a powerful, natural, sustainable ingredient that supports canine and feline health at every life stage. It delivers essential nutrients, helps manage stress and inflammation, supports immunity, and promotes overall vitality, keeping dogs and cats active, resilient, and thriving. When you add food, treats, and supplements with plasma to their diet, you're supporting whole-body health for them and helping the planet too.
