activiron™ Paste - The new bio-available oral iron supplement for horses
Are you aware that iron is crucial for equine performance and racing at the top level as it plays an essential role in the production of oxygen-carrying proteins (haemoglobin in red cells and myoglobin in muscles). Iron is also needed for the oxygenation of red blood cells, a healthy immune system and for energy production, all vital requirements for horses in training or under competitive stress.
Until now, trainers have supplemented performance horses with basic elemental oral irons (including syrups, powders, granules and pastes) as part of a training program however most of these products have been on the market for many years with no advancement in technology. There are known limitations with absorption, conflict with certain vitamins and minerals and palatability issues with traditional oral iron supplements.
Oral iron supplements are generally regarded as a safer choice for iron supplementation. Interestingly, our research confirmed that many trainers and professionals still found the need to administer iron injections, in addition to giving daily elemental iron supplements, to horses that may either consistently return a low blood count, those enduring long training campaigns or are coming back into work after illness. With some iron injections, there can be safety concerns, with undesirable adverse reactions.
activiron™ Paste stands alone against the current market options. It is a new product, with a new active ingredient, producing better results for horses in training on grain-based diets.
HOW CAN ACTIVIRON™ PASTE HELP MY HORSES?
Designed using the latest scientific research, activiron™ Paste is next generation technology that is set to revolutionise equine iron supplementation. activiron™ Paste is a NEW IRON PRODUCT with a NEW ACTIVE INGREDIENT that offers genuine advantages over current options for equine iron supplementation. activiron™ Paste is the only product on the market that contains a highly available iron nutrient wrapped in a protective coating, or \\\\\\\'jacket\\\\\\\', of EDTA, providing superior levels of bonding in gastric conditions, higher iron absorption and therefore better and faster results.
Supported by long-term nutritional studies, the iron compound in activiron™ Paste has a higher absorption rate than other elemental iron supplements for performance horses on grain based diets. Unlike traditional iron supplements, this EDTA iron has no negative impact on the bio-availability of other vitamins and minerals, no adverse gastric side effects and can also be used with Vitamin E. More importantly, it exhibits no metallic taste, therefore making activiron™ Paste more palatable.
activiron™ Paste is fast acting and demonstrated maximum iron uptake in as little as 1 to 2 weeks, when used to product recommendations.
activiron™ Paste has been successfully trialled by leading equine racing veterinarians and trainers for the past 12 months, prior to national release. It has produced outstanding results, and trainers have commented that they did not have the need for additional iron supplementation since they began using activiron™ Paste on a routine basis.
activiron™ Paste is now set to become part of the training program for all professional trainers wishing to keep their performance horses in peak condition.
