  Heparin is a synthetic compound that is made from rabbit proteins called plasma protein. Many different types of pharmaceutical companies produce different versions of Heparin. This compound is typically manufactured by exposing proteins to extreme temperatures in order to induce their transformation to a liquid state. The resulting product, which is commonly called 'Hep' is then injected into the body so that it can diffuse throughout the body and eliminate toxins and other substances.
