Activiron™ is a highly bio-available oral iron supplement for horses on grain based diets or where an iron supplement is required. Activiron™ contains the exclusive ferric sodium EDTA. New to the Australasian market Activiron™ is the first to contain this highly available iron nutrient wrapped in a protective coating or ‘jacket’ of EDTA, providing superior levels of bonding compared with other chelated agents.
Unlike other forms of iron which can be poorly absorbed, the Ferric Sodium has a protective coating of EDTA, this exclusive EDTA coating provides the best combined result for iron fortification in terms of bio-availability, safety and oxidative stability for iron nutrition, making it the perfect choice for racehorses and performance horses.
Supported by extensive long-term studies, this iron compound has a higher absorption rate than other elemental iron supplements in grain based diets, has minimal gastrointestinal disturbances and exhibits no metallic taste. Unlike traditional iron supplements, Activiron™ has no negative impact on the bio-availability of other minerals and vitamins, and may be used in conjunction with Vitamin E.
