Vitamins in aquarium care
Vitamin deficiencies can affect the health and development of aquarium fish even when their food provides carbohydrates, fats and protein. hw multivit supplies a balanced combination of vitamins to supplement the diet and support health, natural colouration and breeding.
Supplementation is particularly useful when feeding dried or frozen food, which can lose vitamins during processing. hw multivit is also suitable for supporting the vitamin supply of sensitive juvenile fish.
Application instructions
Add a few drops to dried or frozen food immediately before feeding. Allow dried food to absorb the supplement for approximately 5–10 minutes, using only enough to be almost completely absorbed.
Defrost frozen food and briefly rinse it with clean tap water, then apply the supplement in the same way. Defrosted food absorbs smaller quantities. To improve absorption, let the prepared food stand in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes, up to a maximum of 2 hours.
Important: Shake bottle well before and between applications!

Description of the main components:
- Alpha-tocopherol:
Vitamin E. Acts as an antioxidant; protects the fatty acids, retinol and enzymes against oxidation; also influences the absorption of cyanocobalamin and nuclein metabolism; antisterility vitamin. - Ascorbic acid:
Vitamin C. Serves for the formation and maintenance of the collagen level; reducer in tyrosine metabolism; protects the organism against a deficiency of other vitamins, also encourages adrenalinogenesis. - Cyanocobalamin:
Vitamin B12. Coenzyme, growth factor; encourages lipid and carbohydrate metabolism as well as the formation of blood. - D-Biotin:
Vitamin H. Growth factor, among other things for nanoplankton; also synthesised in plants. Biotin is a coenzyme for CO2 fixation and transcarboxylation in the presence and involvement of magnesium ions. - Glycine:
Amino-acetic acid. Cell protein building substance; for blood pigment synthesis. - Leucine:
Amino-isocaproic acid. Cell protein building substance. - Meso-inositol:
Constituent of every living cell; encourages cation transport through the cell membrane and stimulation of the nerves. Growth factor for numerous types of animal cell. - Nicotinamide:
Constituent of the cell building substance NADP (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). Particularly important for hydrogen transport in biological oxidation. - Retinol:
Vitamin A. Indispensable as a pigment for the retina, for reproductiveness, contributes to the stability of the lipoprotein membrane of the cell and subcellular particles. - Thiamine:
Vitamin B1. Coenzyme function for degradation of carbohydrates. - Tryptophan:
An amino acid and precursor of the neurotransmitter serotonin. - Tyrosine:
An amino acid and precursor of thyroid hormones and pigments such as melanin.
