Actions
Iron deficiency results in poor performance in horses. It also compromises immunity
and health, and increases susceptibility to disease and infection. Anemia also
reduces blood enzymes which are important for the elimination of harmful metabolites
produced by the muscle during racing.
Trials with Hippiron Injections in racing horses, dogs, & greyhounds showed
that treatment consistently increased hemoglobin & other blood values under
different treatment frequencies and dose schedules. The effects of the treatment
as measured by improvement in hemoglobin was evident for up to 3 months.
Indications
Hippiron is for prevention and treatment of iron deficiency anemia in horses, dogs, &
greyhounds.
