Composition, release form
Hemobalance looks like a colorless liquid with an amber tint. Packaged in sterile glass containers with a volume of 5, 100, 500 ml. also have a protective aluminum cap, which eliminates the possibility of introducing germs.
Each substance included in the composition enhances the effect of other components and has a positive effect on the animal’s body. The composition compensates for the lack of vitamins in cats.
Main active substances
L-lysine hydrochloride is an amino acid responsible for the creation of bone tissue and the absorption of phosphorus and calcium. Also promotes the formation of red blood cells. A deficiency of this amino acid in the body causes fatigue, anemia, decreased concentration and disorders of the reproductive system.
DL methionine is an amino acid that promotes metabolism. Synthesizes tissue proteins, hormones, enzymes. Lack of methionine contributes to loss of appetite, muscle atrophy and impaired kidney function.
Glycine is responsible for good memory and emotional balance.
Biotin takes part in metabolic processes.
Cobalt sulfate synthesizes hemoglobin and participates in metabolic processes. Helps remove fluid from the body and produces thyroid hormones. In case of cobalt deficiency, anemia, loss of appetite, exhaustion and deterioration in the appearance of the coat occurs.
Vitamin B2 promotes growth, development, and improves immunity . A lack of vitamin can be identified by such signs as: hair loss, rare breathing and slow pulse, decreased body temperature, and malaise. This also affects the condition of the cat’s eyes and skin: clouding of the cornea, cracks. Kittens with a lack of vitamin B2 are developmentally delayed.
Vitamin B6 supports the functioning of the nervous system. Its deficiency can cause delays in growth and development in kittens. If an adult cat does not receive the required amount of vitamin with food, then it may develop seizures and various skin diseases.
Vitamin B4 (choline) is necessary for animals to prevent fatty liver.
Vitamin B8 is needed for fat metabolism. A lack of vitamin can lead to increased cholesterol levels, general weakness and cramps in the paws. Hair problems are also possible.
B12 is necessary for the maturation of red blood cells and the formation of antibodies. A lack of this vitamin will lead to decreased fertility in cats and the birth of weak kittens. A rough cat with developed dermatitis, poor appetite, and gas formation are the first symptoms. In more advanced cases, disorders such as paralysis, poor coordination and unsteady gait may develop.

Did you know? Biologically, a cat's brain is much closer to a human's than the same organ in dogs. The same areas as in humans are responsible for the expression of emotions in these small predators.
Reviews from veterinarians
Andrey, veterinarian with 6 years of experience
An effective but painful drug. Often, small lumps appear at the injection point, but they go away on their own and do not require medical intervention. Prescribed for kittens with developmental delays. Helps in most cases, but there are exceptions. An effective drug for use in combination with other medications.
