Scientists had suggested that APC works by protecting healthy cells from dying and had found it to have anti-coagulant effects. From its solar evaporation pond system on the southern shores of the Dead Sea, APC manufactures various grades of potash--including Standard, Fine, Granular, Industrial, Red Standard and Fine 98%--and exports them to markets around the globe.
