In regard to autologous platelet gel: It is a medical procedure involving the use of your blood. In the U.S. it also is a fraction. Thrombin is mixed with the product. That is a form of a fraction. So, our perfusionists make sure that the person is ok with medical uses involving the use of their blood and fractions.

In regard to fractions: It is always good to check the package insert. For example, it will indicate if albumin is from human source. To my knowledge, there is no form of EPO available in the U.S. that is not made with human albumin as a stablizer. (Been down that road before and was unable to find any) MMR aslo has albumin as a stabilizer, as do many drugs. The process of isolating a fraction and sterilization and/ or washing with detergent is immense. It looks like a big beer processing plant. The fractions such as albumin, contain no RNA or DNA. Certainly, a more purified product than when you eat meat. Hope this helps as well. Great posts. Thanks
