NV B Complex Injectable

Vitamin B Complex Injection

Injectable B-Complex vitamin supplementation to support normal energy metabolism, red blood cell formation, nervous system function and overall health in horses.

Vitamin B Complex Injection provides a combination of essential water-soluble B-group vitamins involved in many of the body's fundamental metabolic processes.

B vitamins play important roles in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, helping the body utilise nutrients and produce energy. They are also involved in normal red blood cell formation, nervous system function, muscle function and the maintenance of healthy skin and coat.

This comprehensive injectable formulation provides Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12.

Key Benefits

Vitamin B Complex provides nutritional support for:

• Normal energy metabolism
• Carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism
• Red blood cell and haemoglobin formation
• Normal nervous system function
• Healthy muscle function
• Protein and amino acid metabolism
• Healthy skin and coat
• Normal cellular function
• Horses with an increased nutritional demand during periods of work or stress

Vitamin B1 – Thiamine

Thiamine (Vitamin B1) plays an essential role in carbohydrate and energy metabolism.

It is also important for the maintenance of normal nerve and muscle function.

Vitamin B2 – Riboflavin

Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) is involved in cellular energy production and contributes to normal growth and tissue maintenance.

It also plays a role in maintaining healthy skin, mucous membranes and normal vision.

Vitamin B3 – Nicotinamide

Nicotinamide (Vitamin B3) is involved in numerous metabolic reactions required for normal cellular energy production.

It also contributes to normal skin health and cellular function.

Vitamin B5 – Pantothenate

Pantothenate (Vitamin B5) plays an important role in energy metabolism and forms part of coenzyme systems involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates and fatty acids.

It is also involved in the normal synthesis of several biologically important compounds within the body.

Vitamin B6 – Pyridoxine

Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) is essential for normal protein and amino acid metabolism.

It contributes to:

• Haemoglobin and red blood cell formation
• Normal nervous system function
• Protein metabolism
• Healthy skin
• Normal cellular processes

Vitamin B12 – Cyanocobalamin

Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) is essential for normal cell metabolism and is particularly important for tissues with rapid cellular turnover.

It plays an important role in red blood cell formation, nervous system function and normal cellular metabolism.

Why B Vitamins Are Important

B-group vitamins work together across numerous metabolic pathways, meaning adequate availability of the complete group is important for normal physiological function.

As water-soluble vitamins, excess amounts are generally not stored extensively in the body and are eliminated through normal metabolic processes.

Nutritional requirements may be influenced by factors such as diet, workload, age, health status and periods of increased physiological demand.

Performance & Working Horses

Performance and working horses have increased energy demands, making appropriate nutrition particularly important.

B-group vitamins are involved in the pathways responsible for converting nutrients from the diet into usable energy and therefore form an important component of normal energy and nutrient metabolism.

Vitamin supplementation should complement, rather than replace, a correctly balanced diet.

Dosage & Administration

Horses:
Give 5–10mL by intramuscular injection, twice weekly, or as advised by a veterinary surgeon.

Use strictly according to the current product label.

Important Information

Vitamin B Complex Injection is an injectable veterinary product. Correct injection technique, hygiene and administration are essential.

Seek veterinary advice regarding supplementation where a horse is showing persistent:

• Poor appetite
• Lethargy or reduced performance
• Weight loss
• Anaemia
• Neurological signs
• Muscle weakness
• Poor recovery following illness

These signs can have numerous underlying causes and should not automatically be assumed to represent a B-vitamin deficiency.

For competition horses, always check the current rules of the relevant racing or equestrian authority regarding injectable products, ingredients and administration timing before competition.
