WHY CHOOSE VIT-C EQUINE?
Horses possess the enzyme L-gulonolactone oxidase required to produce Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, however the horse may not always be able to produce enough Vitamin C to meet the demands placed upon the body during intense training and exercise.
The most important function of Vitamin C is its involvement in Collagen formation. The vitamin is essential for the formation and maintenance of Collagen, and it is the main component of connective tissue.
As a water-soluble antioxidant, Vitamin C can help keep the horse healthy in times of stress working to fight against free radicals by neutralising them and therefore rendering them non-harmful. If antioxidants are unavailable free radicals can build up in the body leading to damage of cells and tissues.
