Commitment. Teamwork. Passion.

We are committed to inspiring animal science: the first to bring alpha-2-macroglobulin to the veterinary space, and continuing to lead clinical applications and research on α2M.

Who we are

Alpha2EQ® was created by Astaria Global, a company founded to bring the best orthobiologic products and therapies to the veterinary market. We created a unique orthobiologic that makes a profound impact on the lives of horses and their owners, and we strive to improve their quality of life, companionship and performance. We are honored to work with you and your equine athletes.

In 2025, Astaria Global joined Creative Science, a CIMA Animal Health company and a leading team of equine health innovators. Alpha2EQ® continues as a Creative Science brand, with the same clinical team, kits and support.
