DESCRIPTION & ACTIONS:
- Vitamin C Injection is a high-potency supplement delivering essential.
- Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) to support overall health and performance in animals. This water-soluble vitamin plays a critical role in:
- Joint health – Supports the maintenance and repair of cartilage.
- Stress reduction-Aids adrenal function during periods of stress.
- Cardiovascular support-Improves heart and blood vessel function.
- Immune system performance Enhances disease resistance and healing.
HOW IT WORKS
Vitamin C functions as a coenzyme in key metabolic pathways, including:
- Amino acid metabolism (Tyrosine and Phenylalanine).
- Collagen synthesis for joints, tendons, ligaments, and skin.
- L-Carnitine production, crucial for energy metabolism.
- Red blood cell formation.
- Folic acid conversion and iron absorption from the gastrointestinal tract.
- Steroid hormone metabolism.
- Immune modulation and wound healing.
During stress, Vitamin C levels become especially important, as large concentrations are required in the adrenal glands. Furthermore, it acts as a powerful antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals generated during intense physical activity or illness. While horses typically synthesize their own Vitamin C, deficiencies can occur, particularly under stress or when liver function is impaired.
KEY BENEFITS:
- Potent antioxidant – Protects against oxidative stress.
- Supports tissue repair and growth.
- Strengthens immune response.
