🍊 Vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbate) 

This Vitamin C supplement contains Sodium Ascorbate, a highly bioavailable and easily absorbed form of Vitamin C, designed to support equine health, performance, and recovery.

Key Functions of Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a vital nutrient that supports numerous physiological processes in horses, particularly under conditions of stress or heavy work:

  • Immune Support: Enhances immune system function and assists in maintaining resistance to infection.
  • Collagen Production: Essential for the synthesis of collagen, supporting healthy joints, tendons, ligaments, and skin.
  • Exercise Recovery: Assists in recovery following intense exercise by reducing oxidative stress and supporting tissue repair.
  • Antioxidant Protection: Neutralizes free radicals, helping protect cells from oxidative damage.
  • Allergy Relief: Acts as a natural antihistamine, helping to alleviate symptoms of seasonal allergies and environmental irritants.

Considerations
While horses can synthesize their own Vitamin C, horses in heavy work, under stress, or during illness may require additional supplementation to maintain optimal health. Sodium Ascorbate is preferred for its high absorption and bioavailability.
