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 is Ironcyclen suitable for?
Ironcyclen is formulated for horses in training, competing, or under other forms of hard exercise, as well as horses recovering from significant blood loss (such as following surgery, stomach ulcers, or parasite burdens) and horses prone to low blood counts and anaemia.
What does Ironcyclen contain?
Ironcyclen is a liquid supplement containing iron, copper and cobalt. It includes three forms of iron designed for maximum absorption, organic iron aminoates to minimise gut irritation, and copper and cobalt co-factors that are essential for red blood cell and haemoglobin production.
How do I give Ironcyclen to my horse?
Ironcyclen is a palatable molasses-flavoured liquid that can be mixed into feed or administered as directed by a veterinary surgeon. For specific dosing instructions for your horse's age, weight, and circumstances, please refer to the product label or contact your veterinarian.
Why might my horse need an iron supplement?
Hard training and competing increase a horse's iron requirement. Additionally, only a small percentage of iron in typical feedstuffs is absorbed by the horse's gut. A supplement like Ironcyclen helps maximise haemoglobin and red blood cell production, which improves the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood for peak performance.
Where can I find dosing and safety information?
Full dosing instructions, directions for use, and safety information are detailed on the product label. We also recommend consulting your veterinarian or agronomist to ensure the supplement is appropriate for your horse's individual needs.
