Features and Benefits
Nature Vet FOLIC ACID INJECTION& VITAMIN B12 INJECTIONare essential B Complex vitamins,
both vitally involved in many critical metabolic processes related to coenzymes
for tissue formation, DNA synthesis, complete utilisation of carbohydrates and
proteins for nervous tissue maintenance and energy production, and blood counts.
Nature Vet FOLIC ACID INJECTION and VITAMIN B12 INJECTIONact in synergy in the formation
of DNA , and deficiencies can have serious consequences, both in performance
horses with a high tissue turnover rate, and in pregnancy and growth of young
foals.
Clinically the first sign of deficiency is anaemia. Lack of either FOLIC ACID
INJECTIONor VITAMIN B12 INJECTION can create anaemias. As the deficiency may
be indistinguishable for either of these essential vitamins, they are often
grouped in one product for therapeutic and preventive use.
Indications
Nature Vet FOLIC ACID INJECTION is an essential B Group vitamin which is involved in many
metabolic processes as an important coenzyme. Its most important role is in
the formation of nucleic acids (DNA) from amino acids.
Nature Vet FOLIC ACID INJECTION (along with VITAMIN B12, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C and Iron)
is vital to the formation of red and white blood cells and haemoglobin, as well
as for rapidly dividing cells which include gastrointestinal epitheleal cells,
the growing foetus, skin and hair.
Nature Vet FOLIC ACID INJECTION is involved in the formation of the amino acids methionine
and glycine, as well as the vitamin choline. Vitamin B12 is essential to the
formation of FOLIC ACID. Folate is abundant in fresh, green feeds, but processing
feed rapidly destroys it. FOLIC ACID supplementation is highly recommended during
pregnancy, as deficiencies in young growing animals are often associated with
retardation.
Cooking and storage of feeds destroy Folic Acid levels.
When antibiotics, particularly Sulphur drugs, are used for extended periods,
the normal synthesis of Folic acid in the gut will be reduced, and the requirement
for Folic Acid are increased.
FOLIC ACID INJECTION requirements are far greater in athletic performance horses
where the synthesis and absorption from the gut are reduced by the stress of
training and performance.
Supplements of FOLIC ACID INNJECTION are reported to improve antibody response
in animals.
Nature Vet VITAMIN B12 INJECTION is useful to stimulate appetite in horses, and is essential
in maintenance of adequate blood counts.

Trainers Tips -Pregnancy: FOLIC ACID is critically involved with VITAMIN B12, VITAMIN C and
Cobalt metabolism.
FOLIC ACID should be supplemented in brood mares during pregnancy, and in young,
growing foals.
Performance - FOLIC ACID is vital in the reformation of high turnover cells, and in stressed
performance horses the synthesis of FOLIC ACID in the gut, and absorption from
the gut, may be inadequate. Also consider supplementation whenever sulphur-based
antibiotics have been used.
B Complex Vitamins:
Are water soluble, and required in regular amounts at all times. FOLIC ACID
and VITAMIN B12 are members of this group of vitamins, which are essential to
a wide range of body processes.
As the anaemias caused by deficiency of either FOLIC ACID or VITAMIN B12 are
clinically indistinguishable, the two vitamins are effectively combined in the
one product.
Other natures vet preparations contain Vitamin B12, and may be more appropriate
to certain requirements.
