Dietary supplement for the treatment of anemia symptoms in dogs.
Ingredients:
The main function of iron (heme iron) in the body is the production of hemoglobin and myoglobin, two very important substances for oxygen transport. The content of organic iron in the form of heme is the best absorbable form of iron with much greater bioavailability compared to inorganic iron.
Copper is a component of two enzymes, ferroxidase, which have the property of oxidizing iron in a form that can be transported to the site of red blood cell production. The role of copper in red blood cell production is confirmed by the fact that in the case of copper deficiency, the mobilization of iron from storage sites is incomplete, resulting in a decrease in red blood cell production.
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is used in the body as a coenzyme in the phosphate form. Pyridoxine phosphate is an essential coenzyme in the process of producing heme, the main component of hemoglobin.
Vitamin C is involved in the differentiation of hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow.
Folic acid also plays an important role in the production of red blood cells, but to ensure this process, there must be an adequate amount of vitamin B12 (cobalamin). Deficiency of these 2 vitamins causes deterioration of DNA production in the rapidly growing cells of the bone marrow, resulting in the production of large immature red blood cells with an insufficient amount of hemoglobin.
