Iron in Equine Nutrition

Iron is an essential mineral involved in normal red blood cell formation and oxygen transport, and is included in equine diets to support healthy blood parameters when provided in balanced amounts.

Supporting Red Blood Cell Production & Oxygen Transport

Iron is a mineral associated with hemoglobin and oxygen transport in horses. In nutrition programs, iron is considered alongside overall mineral balance, training demand, and forage variability.

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-complex 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.
