Benefits of Vitamin C for Horses

Vitamin C is a vital organic compound within a horse’s body that provides protection against cellular damage. It aids in equine collagen production, iron absorption, hormone synthesis, bone calcification, tissue growth & wound healing whilst simultaneously reducing allergy symptoms and inflammation by counteracting the production of histamines. Additionally, Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant which neutralises free radicals and acts to strengthen equine immune function and response.

Unlike humans, horses can synthesize their own Vitamin C from glucose in their livers – however deficiency can arise during period of stress or illness. A lack of Vitamin C can lead to several health problems in horses, including poor wound healing, reduced immunity, and joint pain.

Sodium ascorbate is a more bioavailable form of Vitamin C, meaning that the body more easily absorbs it. As a result, supplementing with sodium ascorbate can help to ensure that horses get the Vitamin C they need to stay healthy.

Immune System

Vitamin C is a natural immune system booster. It helps increase the number of antibodies in your horse’s body responsible for fighting toxins, bacteria, or viruses.

Collagen

Vitamin C helps the production of collagen, a vital tissue that promotes joint and bone health.

Interferon

Vitamin C boosts your Horse’s level of interferon, a natural antibody that helps fight viral infections and cancerous growths.

Absorption

Supplementing Vitamin C has been linked to helping the absorption rate of other nutrients in the diet (or supplement).

Antioxidant

Vitamin C is a vital antioxidant for horses. They need it to maintain a healthy, lustrous coat. It usually combines with Vitamin E for them to look vibrant.

Allergies

Vitamin C helps relieve allergy symptoms because it acts as an antihistamine, a compound that counteracts histamine and fights inflammation.

Why Sodium Ascorbate?

Sodium Ascorbate vs Ascorbic Acid

CEN Vitamin C uses Sodium Ascorbate which is a highly effective, more easily absorbed form of Vitamin C. It is pH neutral (pH 7.4) as opposed to acidic Ascorbic Acid (pH 3.0), therefore Sodium Ascorbate does not irritate the intestinal tract or kidneys. Sodium ascorbate is easily absorbed by the body, and studies have also shown that it stays in the system twice as long as the acid form. Sodium ascorbate is the only form of vitamin C approved by the FDA for intravenous injection in humans.
