Actovegin is a highly filtered extract taken from calf blood. It is purified so it contains no proteins or disease-causing particles, but keeps small natural substances like amino acids, electrolytes, sugars, and other building blocks found in blood. It is used in some countries to support circulation and tissue healing, though it is not approved for use in the United States or Canada.
