Hemo PLUS 100ml

Description

The production of red blood cells is dependent upon many factors such as amino acids, iron and B vitamins.  HEMO PLUS provides these building blocks to maximize the horse’s potential.

Hemo Plus contains iron, vitamins, minerals, lipotropes and amino acids.
* A great source of iron and copper, which play an important role in hemoglobin formulation.
* Contains amino acids, which provides protein building blocks.  Horses use protein to synthesize body tissues such as muscle and bone where amino acids are present in inadequate amounts due to nutritional deficiency or illness.   Hemo PLUS can act as an amino acid supplement.
* A concentrated source of B vitamins essential for red blood cell production.

1.   HEMO PLUS can be used I.V. OR I.M.  Allows for rapid provision and utilization of essential nutrients.

2.   Multi-vitamin and mineral oral use:  Due to housing and feeding regimes experienced by most horses in work and the heavy demands of performance, the development of sub-clinical vitamin and mineral deficiencies is a realistic risk in the athletic horse.  HEMO PLUS therapy following illness or intense training will ensure deficiencies are addressed for optimal performance or recovery.

3.  Combination therapy:  HEMO PLUS can be used as an additive for all I.V. fluids.  These include amino-acid and vitamin mixtures, electrolytes and dextrose.

4. Recovery:  HEMO PLUS can be administered post race competition to replace essential substances depleted due to the metabolic stress of competing.  Red blood cell (RBC) and hemoglobin levels are two of the most significant contributing factors to the performance of horses.  A blood boosting course will raise blood counts to the level required for performance, e.g.  horses have blood counts of around 6 million, high performance horses have blood counts of between 11 and 12 million.

1.  RBC requirements are higher for performance horses  This is due to:
*increased destruction of RBCs with hard training
*faster use and shorter lifespan of RBCs
*stomach ulcers and lung bleeding
