Download Liquid iron supplement

IRONCYCLEN® is
formulated to maximise
haemoglobin and red
blood cell production
which helps improve the
oxygen carrying capacity
of the blood, for peak
performance.
WHAT IS IS IRONCYCLEN®?
4Three forms of iron for maximum absorption,
including organic iron aminoates which eliminate
gut irritation and increase absorption.
4Co-factors of copper and cobalt which are
essential to incorporate iron into haemoglobin.
4Highly palatable molasses flavoured liquid.
4Liquid formulation for easy mixing in feed or
administering over the tongue.
WHY CHOOSE IRONCYCLEN®?
1. The nutrients in IRONCYCLEN® are
scientifically balanced for:
4 Speed
Optimises oxygen levels in the muscles for speed and peak
performance.
4 Improved bloodcounts
Only 15-18% of the iron in the feedstuffs of the average
horse’s diet is absorbed.
4 Stamina
Optimises the red blood cell levels to deliver oxygen
to the body, vital for stamina.
Liquid iron supplement
2. 3 forms of iron 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 supplements.
3. Essential balance of co-factors: copper
and cobalt
These blood building co-factors 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.
4. Quality and freshness assured
Packaging is light proof to prevent oxidisation of iron and
co-factors by exposure to light, air and also to maintain stability
and freshness.
5. Highest quality ingredients
Virbac has always had a commitment and reputation for quality.
The high quality of IRONCYCLEN® can only really be appreciated
once you have started using it and seen the results.
6. Palatable molasses flavoured syrup
For ease of dosing over the tongue or mixed into feed.
7. Convenient 5L cask packaging
For easy storage and dosing.

Dosage:
IRONCYCLEN® is recommended for:
Horses (450 - 500 kg): 45 - 75 mL daily in feed or as directed by
a veterinary surgeon.
•
High performance athletes. Training and competing are added
stresses which increase the demand for iron.
•
Significant blood loss: e.g. surgery, stomach ulcers, parasite
burdens, lung bleeders.
•
Animals in training prone to low blood counts and anaemia
and requiring long term therapeutic treatment.
Performance horses
•
Early Training
Maximum of 75ml daily in early training for the first 6 weeks.
•
Hard Training
Give 45ml daily in a “3 days on, 3 days off ” routine while in
hard training, increasing to a maximum of 75ml daily if required.
HOW TO USE IRONCYCLEN®?
“Booster” courses of FBC Bloodfood at key training times will
stimulate the bone marrow so that it can respond to the
increased demand for more cells.
INDICATIONS
•
Breeding horses
45-75ml daily in a ‘3 day on 3 day off ’ routine.
•
Iron deficiency anaemia
45-75ml daily until anaemia corrected (usually 14-28 days)
or as per veterinary advice.
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 increase the
requirement for iron. An adequate intake of iron and copper is
necessary for the formation of haemoglobin, the oxygen carrying
component of red blood cells, which transports oxygen from
the lungs to the body’s cells. Copper is also involved in bone
development and the maintenance of elastic connective tissue.
Cobalt has a role in nerve cell function and is essential for
Vitamin B12 synthesis.
®
IRONCYCLEN® Liquid is suitable for all racing, performance,
working and breeding horses, and racing and breeding greyhounds.
Dogs (Greyhound 30kg): 4 ml daily in feed or as directed by a
veterinary surgeon.
