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 major role as an antioxidant to remove toxic free radicals produced during hard physical exercise. Animals exercising hard, and often, will have a considerably higher demand.

VITAMIN C 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. 

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.
