Cell-Iron
Pelleted Iron Supplement with Additional Synergistic Nutrients
Cell-Iron is a premium iron supplement designed for horses in regular and intense training, racing, endurance or equestrian competition to help maximise performance and accelerate recovery.
The pelleted supplement contains three different forms of iron along with essential iron co-factors such as vitamin C and folic acid to facilitate iron uptake.
Cell-Iron is particularly beneficial for horses receiving a predominantly hand-fed diet of hay and grain and allows specific adjustment of iron levels in the diet for overall health and optimum athletic performance.
Product Information
The pelleted supplement contains three different forms of iron along with essential iron co-factors such as vitamin C and folic acid to facilitate iron uptake.
Cell-Iron is particularly beneficial for horses receiving a predominantly hand-fed diet of hay and grain and allows specific adjustment of iron levels in the diet for overall health and optimum athletic performance.
Our Concept for Cell-Iron
Horses on a predominantly hard-feed diet, or with limited grazing access, can have inadequate levels of iron, in turn compromising their athletic performance, stamina and blood oxygen levels.
The iron content and uptake of iron from feeds and forages can vary significantly. Iron provided by grass and hay may be only 15-18% bioavailable (even when soil content is high) due to the native form of iron and the natural limit of digestive absorption.
Shortfalls of dietary iron have been associated with anaemia and low red cell counts in performance and racing horses.
Cell-Iron is a great alternative to injectable iron preparations as orally supplemented iron is less reactive, with a protected absorption route. In a pelleted form, Cell-Iron is also more effective compared to liquid or powdered iron supplements, which will react with sensitive vitamins in feeds, particularly antioxidants.

The premium, pelleted and palatable iron supplement uniquely formulated to maximise iron uptake and utilisation
Which Horses Benefit?
- Athletic horses in regular training, racing or upper level equestrian competition
- Allows careful adjustment of the iron levels in the diet to the training intensity or exercise level of the horse.
- Horses with poor coat condition, colour intensity or reduced vitality
- Helpful to enhance coat colour intensity in black, bay, brown or chestnut horses with normally low dietary iron levels.
- Horses with low blood iron levels, anaemic horses to supply supplementary iron, a safer oral alternative to injectable iron preparations.
Major Ingredients
- 3 forms of iron including high purity iron carbonyl, safe and bioavailable organic chelate of iron as well as iron sulfate as a concentrated inorganic source.
- Vitamin B9 (folic acid), vitamin B12 and vitamin C for optimal iron absorption and utilisation
- Cell-Iron does not swab but rules prohibiting the use of pre-race supplements should be followed if required by local Racing or Competition authorities.
- Pelleted and palatable supplement which mixes easily into all types of feeds (wet or dry). Reduces wastage from dust, sift-out, sludging and blow away from paddock or yard feeders.
Supplementation Guidelines
For horses in early or moderate training, give 20 grams daily. For athletic horses in full work or heavy training with grain-based home-mixed rations, give 30 grams daily.
For top-up of prepared feeds give 12 g per 2 kg of additional grain added daily.
Pre-Race/Competition Supplementation. Give 30 grams per day on the last 3 evenings prior to racing or competition and for 3 days after performance to help stamina and recovery.
