NuVena - Vitamin C 330g

• Vitamin C is a biological antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative stress.
• It is an important cofactor in the maintenance and repair of connective tissue, collagen, carnitine and hundreds of other physiological processes.
• It has been proven that horses with RAO have low levels of vitamin C in their lung fluid, and its supply supports the proper functioning of the lungs.
• The vitamin C we offer is in the form of 100% ascorbic acid.
• It is the purest vitamin C compound and at the same time an economical way to provide the horse with this nutrient.
• It is worth knowing that horses are able to synthesize vitamin C in their body themselves.
• It should be supplied only in justified cases due to the property of this substance to enhance the absorption of iron.
• Iron, on the other hand, is a rather problematic element in the horse's diet, because it occurs in large quantities, blocking the absorption of copper, zinc and manganese.
