Blood plasma is a rare commodity that is in high demand all over the world and cannot be duplicated.
It is exported by a few nations annually for billions of dollars, including to Australia, which cannot produce sufficient supplies on its own.
You probably have several pints of it circulating in your body at this very moment.
Plasma is a light, yellow substance that makes up about half of our blood. It contains compounds that can save lives and are used to treat dozens of medical conditions.
Plasma products are still in high demand, but only a few countries supply them to the rest of the world.
The largest of them all is the United States of America.
