The antianemic activity of water-soluble polymetallocomplexes of pectin polysaccharides containing
d metal ions — Fe
2+, Co
2+, and Cu
2+ — at different ratios was studied in laboratory rats. The results showed that complexes had marked stimulatory effects on
hematopoietic processes, with increases in hemoglobin concentrations and erythrocyte counts, along with intensification of
the recovery of hematological parameters after anemia induced by hemorrhage. The highest level of activity on hematological
measures was obtained with the polymetallocomplex containing Fe
2+, Co
2+, and Cu
2+ ions at a ratio close to 1:1:1.
