How does the medicine work? : Ferrous ascorbate provides highly absorbable iron for haemoglobin synthesis, with cobalt acting as a cofactor in Vitamin B12 synthesis to further support red blood cell (erythropoiesis) production; Silymarin increases hepatic glutathione uptake and stimulates hepatocyte protein synthesis, protecting the liver from toxins while the iron component addresses anaemia - together supporting both blood and liver health in one formula.
Possible side effects: Generally well tolerated at the recommended dose; avoid combining with other iron supplements without vet guidance.
