TECHNICAL INFORMATION

TURBOCÁLCIO is a ready-to-use injectable solution containing Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Thiamine (Vitamin B1), Sorbitol and Methionine, indicated for the treatment of hypocalcemia and for the supplementation of minerals, amino acids and energy in cattle. Calcium is an essential element in the formation and maintenance of the bone system. It also plays a fundamental role in cell permeability, blood coagulation and is an integral part of intercellular cement. It also acts as a remineralizer in bone formation, pregnancy, milk production, etc. The role of Phosphorus in the animal organism is of great importance for the development of young animals and maintenance of adult animals. It is present in all cell membranes, is part of the structure of bones and teeth, actively participates in the metabolism of carbohydrates, acts in muscle contraction, is responsible for activating enzymes and maintaining the acid-base balance of the organism. Magnesium Chloride is included in the formulation, as acute and chronic calcium deficiencies are usually accompanied by magnesium deficiency, which worsens hypocalcemia. It also stimulates the production of antibodies, and is essential in the presence of infectious diseases, weakness, exhaustion, poisoning and intoxication, as well as in cases of infertility linked to a deficiency of this mineral. Vitamin B1 is important in the transformation of carbohydrates into lipids, and acts as a coenzyme in energy and glucose metabolism, converting glucose into fats. It helps maintain appetite and normal functioning of the nervous system, muscles and heart. Sorbitol acts as a source of energy, quickly restores acid-base balance and helps prevent liver failure resulting from food poisoning, drug poisoning, pregnancy paresis during childbirth, lactation or tetany. Methionine is an amino acid of choice in cases of poisoning, constituting an excellent hepatoprotector with antitoxic properties, as it is a donor of the methyl radical, it favors the methylation of different chemical agents, with the purpose of eliminating them from the body.
