Selecting a Ration Balancer - Nutrena, Purina or Pro-Elite?

I guarantee there is iron in the Empower Balance, it’s just a matter of how much, and if there’s any added (which I suspect there is). I’m looking for an ingredient list to see if any iron is added (I’d be surprised if there wasn’t), but I guarantee there is iron in it, since a lot of ingredients used have inherent iron.

I was going by their guaranteed analysis which does not list iron, and the Triple Crown ration balancer lists 750ppm for Iron.

So maybe there are trace amounts in the Empower but it is not listed on the label.

Right, but a lot of companies don’t list the full GA, which is a pita, and unacceptable IMHO. They also don’t list magensium on the label but I guarantee it’s there.

Here is an image of the ingredients. Iron oxide is listed right near the top of the added nutrients. Ferrous sulfate and carbonate are farther down. So the Fe content in it is more or less as significant as most of the others.
