Biological supplements are becoming increasingly popular among pet parents and veterinarians. In fact, functional supplements—like those with orally fed plasma—are transforming healthcare for canines!
Conventional nutritional supplements are suitable for pet parents who need to fill gaps in a dog’s or cat’s diet. But what about animals that already eat a complete and balanced diet and still need additional support? That’s where functional biological supplements come in, and one that’s taking the veterinary world by storm is orally fed plasma. In this article, we’ll examine its main benefits and four ways it’s transforming canine care.
1. Bridging a Gap Between Conventional Supplements and Medication
Plasma is a functional, biologically active ingredient that contains a slew of beneficial elements, including:
- Amino acids
- Minerals
- Antibodies
- Functional proteins
- Enzymes
- Growth factors
Together, these components help regulate the body’s immune system responses and manage inflammation. When paired with different ingredients, orally fed plasma can help support allergies, gut health, recovery, joints, and more. In that way, plasma-based supplements serve a similar function to nutritional supplements. At the same time, they go a step beyond, targeting these issues with bioactive functional proteins and occupying a liminal space between conventional nutritional supplements and medication.
2. Appealing to Modern Pet Parents’ Desire for Natural Options with Specific Benefits
Plasma is a safe, natural ingredient sourced from the same animals raised as food for pets and humans. This is critical when you consider that 26% of pet parents want all-natural supplements, and many more prioritize natural ingredients over artificial ones.
What’s more, an even greater number—42% of pet parents—want supplements that offer a specific health benefit, such as improving hip and joint health, digestion, immunity, and beyond.
3. Offering Effective Solutions at an Affordable Price
Pet parents spend more than ever on healthcare and products for their dogs and cats, but that doesn’t mean they have unlimited budgets, especially for recurring costs like daily supplements. Most WINPRO supplements cost pet parents less than $1 a day.
4. Easily Incorporated into Daily Routines
In humans and pets, healthcare professionals have long used an injectable form of plasma to reduce joint pain, heal wounds, treat bone injuries, and manage inflammation. However, this isn’t an optimal administration method for at-home use.
But thanks to spray-dried plasma, pet parents can now access plasma-based supplements in the form of tasty, easy-to-feed products that provide dogs and cats with the same benefits, without the hassle.
