Properties
Vitamin C is a major biological antioxidant that plays a crucial role in protecting the body's cellular membranes.
It contributes to:
- Strengthening natural defenses against infections and diseases,
- Protecting cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals,
- Accelerating muscle recovery after intense exercise or competitions,
- Collagen synthesis, essential for the health of joints, tendons, and ligaments,
- Promoting rapid and effective healing of wounds and injuries,
- Supporting the body during stressful situations (transport, etc.),
- Reducing the risk of respiratory diseases,
- Preventing vitamin C deficiencies in daily nutrition, particularly in aging or unhealthy horses.
Advantages of Protected Vitamin C Compared to Standard Ascorbic Acid
Protected Vitamin C is in the form of Phosphorylated L- ascorbic acid. Unlike ascorbic acid, this esterified form is non-acidic. It is therefore more palatable and better tolerated by the digestive system, reducing the risk of gastric irritation and digestive issues, particularly in sensitive horses. It also offers greater stability and is more efficiently absorbed by the body than ascorbic acid, thereby increasing the bioavailability and overall effectiveness of supplementation..
