Ironcyclen liquid is an iron supplement for horses
Ironcyclen Liquid contains iron, copper and cobalt to supplement diets which may be deficient in these essential minerals.
Racing, training and other forms of hard exercise increases the requirement for iron.
Ironcyclen is a specially formulated supplement to maximise haemoglobin and red blood cell production which helps improve the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood for peak performance.
Recommended For:
High performance horses:
Training and competing are added stresses which increase the demand for iron.
Horses who have experienced significant blood loss: e.g. surgery, stomach ulcers, parasite burdens, lung bleeders.
Animals in training prone to low blood counts and anaemia
Features:
Supports improved blood counts:
Only 15-18% of the iron in the feedstuffs of the average horse’s diet is absorbed.
Formulated for maximum absorption:
Ironcyclen contains 3 forms of iron which are readily absorbed by the gut and are generally of a higher quality than the regular iron used in many other supplements.
Essential balance of co-factors:
Copper and cobalt are essential for red blood cell and haemoglobin production.
Without these co-factors, even with high levels of iron, the horse will still be unable to produce optimal amounts of red blood cells.
Liquid formulation:
The unique formulation makes Ironcyclen easy to mix into feed or administered as directed by a veterinarian.
The highly palatable molasses flavoured liquid formulation contains:
Three forms of iron for maximum absorption
Organic iron aminoates which eliminate gut irritation
Co-factors of copper and cobalt essential to incorporate iron into haemoglobin
Dosage & Directions for Use:
Horses (450 - 500 kg):
45 - 75 mL daily in feed or as directed by a veterinary surgeon.
Performance horses:
Early Training:
Maximum of 75 mL daily in early training for the first 6 weeks.
Hard Training:
Give 45 mL daily in a “3 days on, 3 days off” routine while in hard training, increasing to a maximum of 75 mL daily if required.
“Booster” courses of FBC Bloodffod at key training times will stimulate the bone marrow so that it can respond to the increased demand for more cells.
Breeding horses:
45 – 75 mL daily in a “3 days on, 3 days off” routine.
Iron Deficiency Anaemia:
45 – 75 mL daily until anaemia corrected (usually 14 - 28 days) or as per veterinary advice.

Common Questions
What horses benefit most from Ironcyclen?
Ironcyclen is recommended for high-performance horses in training and competition, horses recovering from blood loss (such as after surgery, stomach ulcers, or parasite burdens), and animals prone to low blood counts and anaemia. It's also suitable for breeding horses.
Why does Ironcyclen contain copper and cobalt as well as iron?
Copper and cobalt are essential co-factors for red blood cell and haemoglobin production. Iron alone isn't enough — without these minerals, your horse won't be able to produce optimal amounts of red blood cells even with high iron levels.
How should I give Ironcyclen to my horse?
Ironcyclen is a palatable molasses-flavoured liquid that's easy to mix into feed. It can also be administered as directed by your veterinary surgeon. Always follow the dosage instructions on the product label, and consult your vet if you're unsure about the right routine for your horse's individual needs.
What makes Ironcyclen different from other iron supplements?
Ironcyclen contains three forms of iron that are readily absorbed by the horse's gut and are generally of higher quality than regular iron used in many other supplements. The organic iron aminoates help eliminate gut irritation, and the formula is designed specifically to maximise absorption and haemoglobin production.
Where can I find dosing instructions and safety information?
Please refer to the product label and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for complete dosing instructions tailored to your horse's weight and condition. If you have any questions about the right dose for your situation, contact your veterinary surgeon or call TGRM on (07) 5482 1692.
