As an important component of the blood pigment hemoglobin, iron, the red blood cells are able to transport oxygen. Hemoglobin binds the inhaled oxygen and transports it to the cells.

Especially in times of great physical stress, such as the racing season, the breeding and moulting period, the high iron requirements. Iron deficiency is also one of the most common symptoms of deficiency of our racing pigeons. The immediate consequence is anemia, which makes the whole organism insufficient oxygen is supplied.

The pigeon gets its energy while flying mostly from fat metabolism. The supply of energy from fat metabolism requires more oxygen than for example the carbohydrate metabolism used by man. A sufficiently high concentration of hemoglobin in the blood is therefore a critical factor for the performance.
Active iron stimulates blood formation, increases in particular the number of red blood cells, increases the oxygen concentration in the blood and thereby accelerates the oxygen transport anar cells (mitochondria). Already after a few days of use, the iron value of the blood (hematocrit value) markedly higher, which leads to a natural performance enhancement at the races.
