Vitamin B-12 – 5,000 mcg. per ounce & Folic Acid – 3.22 mg. per ounce

Vitamin B-12 in conjunction with Folic Acid is essential for normal formation of red blood cells and also may aid in stimulating the appetite and growth.

It is indispensable for the formation of individual amino acids. Insufficient B12 can lead to anaemia and poor feed utilisation.

Vitamin B-12’s most important functions are to assist in the production of red blood cells and in the utilization of proteins, fats and carbohydrates in feed. B-12 helps convert propionic acid, a primary volatile fatty acid produced via synthesis in the gut. Many horsemen believe that B-12 builds hemoglobin in red blood cells, which increases the oxygen transport capacity of the blood, thus making supplementation useful for racehorses.
