Iron for Horses

Supporting Red Blood Cell Production and Oxygen Transport

Iron is an essential trace mineral required for the formation of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying component of red blood cells. Adequate iron availability supports normal oxygen delivery to tissues, which is particularly important for performance horses, horses in training, and horses under physical stress.

Why Iron Matters in Equine Nutrition

Horses rely on iron to:

• • Support normal red blood cell production

• • Maintain oxygen transport efficiency

• • Support endurance and recovery

• • Maintain overall metabolic function

Iron works in conjunction with other nutrients—particularly B-vitamins and trace minerals—to support normal blood parameters.

Iron in Blood Max™

Blood Max™ includes iron as part of a balanced nutritional formulation, selected to support bioavailability while minimizing unnecessary excess. The formulation is designed to complement a horse’s existing diet rather than overwhelm it.

Responsible Supplementation

While iron is essential, excessive supplementation may be unnecessary or undesirable. Blood Max™ is formulated to support nutritional balance, not pharmacological intervention.

Always consult with a veterinarian or equine nutritionist before adjusting iron intake.
