There are many external and internal factors that negatively affect metabolism, immunity, and homeostasis. To normalize and restore them, specialists use vitamin-mineral complexes or amino acid preparations.
Often, nutrients have to be introduced separately. They can be used for long periods of time with multiple administrations throughout the day, which causes stress in cats. Hemobalance is an effective, safe and easy-to-use complex of nutrients that stimulates the normal course of biochemical processes.
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.

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.

Indications for use
The drug is usually allowed to be used at home. Reviews about this medicine are mostly positive. It is recommended to give Hemobalance to a cat in the following cases .
- Lack of vitamins . The state of hypovitaminosis and microelementosis has an extremely negative effect on the general health of the animal. If it is observed for a long time, it is necessary to support the pet with something. In case of anemia, the medicine will also be useful.
- Infectious diseases . There are diseases that are extremely dangerous for the life of a four-legged pet. In this case, you have to act quickly, without postponing treatment until later. To quickly restore a cat’s physical strength after an illness, it is recommended to use Hemobalance.

- Allergic reactions . When a cat has to be treated for allergies, Hemobalance is ideal. In a short time it eliminates any unwanted manifestations.

If the owner is planning to move to a new apartment or is planning a long trip with the pet, you should worry about the emotional balance of the animal in advance. It is better to start introducing the medicine a week before the planned stress. Then the cat will tolerate it better and will be able to adapt to new conditions more quickly.

Opinions about the medicine
Breeders of mustachioed pets and veterinarians generally leave good reviews about the vitamin and mineral complex. It is easily tolerated by individuals of all ages and does not cause negative reactions from important systems and organs.
From personal experience, I can say that Hemobalance is an excellent support for the immunity of domestic cats, especially those that are often sick. I never prescribe this drug separately, since it works well only in complex therapy due to severe injuries, operations or poisoning.
Anton, veterinarian
For the past 4 years I have been regularly giving Hemobalance for preventive purposes to adult cats and young animals. The product perfectly strengthens the immune system, ensures proper development, and animals practically do not get sick. Moreover, we managed to avoid the panleukopenia epidemic and not become infected.
Vladimir, breeder of purebred cats
The cat's herpes did not go away for a long time.
Over the course of 3 weeks, we underwent several therapeutic courses, but all to no avail - a couple of days after the end of treatment, the sore reappeared. The veterinarian recommended piercing the Hemobalance, which saved our Murka. The herpes disappeared after 5 days, but we still completed the full course in 2 weeks. Marina, 36 years old
