Anemia & Blood Building
HOW HORSE BLOOD BUILDERS WORK
Nutritional blood building supplements work by stimulating red blood cell (RBC) production and hemaglobin formation. This helps to increase available oxygen - and that improves performance. That’s exactly what you want, especially when competing in endurance activities such as racing, western gaming, and cross-country events.

Select a product for help with supporting Anemia symptoms and to assist with building better blood quality for health & performance issues, such as:
low energy - loss of appetite - overall weakness.
If you compete in any equine discipline, you want your horse to perform at his/her best level. That’s what it’s all about, right?
Oxygenated muscle tissue will encourage horses to run faster, finish better and recover quickly.
Start with a diagnosis then find a formula for the specific problem, and a delivery system that ensures all nutrients are absorbed. Concentrated extracts are quickly assimilated and ready to be absorbed for immediate use. What is not absorbed is excreted. Read more in the FAQ tab.
If you, or your vet, suspects anemia, and have tried other blood builders with no results, consider bleeding ulcers. Researchers (and personal experience) have found that high performance horses have a larger incidence of bleeding ulcers and low level anemia.
