How Does It Work?
Vitamin C is an essential coenzyme in certain metabolic processes, particularly
in the metabolism of the amino acids Tyrosine and Phenylalanine, collagen synthesis
in ligaments, tendons and joint cartilage, synthesis of L-Carnitine, red blood
cell formation, and modulating immune responses, as well as in the maintenance
of healthy skin. It is also essential in the conversion of Folic acid, and in
promoting the absorption of Iron from the gut. Vitamin C has a role in the metabolism
of certain steroid hormones, and high levels of Vitamin C are found in the Adrenal
gland in times of stress.
VITAMIN C INJECTION has a major role as a potent antioxidant to remove toxic
free radicals produced during hard physical exercise.
VITAMIN C INJECTION is critical and essential in the maintenance and repair
of joints and joint cartilage, synthesis of collagen, proteoglycans and other
joint components, tooth, bone, skin and blood vessel maintenance, and in the
healing and repair of wounds, burns and fractures.
Vitamin C is essential in the synthesis of L-Carnitine.
Like the B Complex vitamins, Vitamin C is water soluble, and is not well stored
in the body. It is rapidly absorbed and equally as rapidly excreted, so must
be supplemented on a regular basis.
Horses are able to synthesise Vitamin C in normal circumstances, but failure
of liver enzyme systems can initiate a deficiency.
Key Features & Benefits:
* VITAMIN C INJECTION is a major antioxidant to neutralize free radicals.
* VITAMIN C INJECTION enhances tissue healing and growth.
* VITAMIN C INJECTION improves immune function and acts as an anti inflammatory
