VITAMIN C (Ascorbic acid) INJECTION provides Vitamin C supplementation.

Vitamin C is essential to normal joint cartilage maintenance and repair and acts to reduce stress and improve cardiovascular function. VITAMIN C has a major role as a potent antioxidant to remove toxic free radicals produced during hard physical exercise. Vitamin C is essential in the synthesis of L-Carnitine. Vitamin C is water soluble, and is not well stored in the body. Horses are able to synthesise Vitamin C in normal circumstances, but failure of liver enzyme systems can initiate a deficiency. It is rapidly absorbed and equally as rapidly excreted, so must be supplemented on a regular basis. VITAMIN C can be safely used with all Nature Vet products.
