Ascorbic Acid (vitamin C) is a powerful antioxidant that plays a crucial role in supporting the health and well-being of horses. It helps neutralize free radicals, protecting cells and tissues from oxidative stress caused by exercise, aging, or environmental factors. Vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis, which is critical for maintaining the structural integrity of connective tissues, including skin, tendons, and ligaments. It also supports immune function, helping horses maintain resilience during periods of stress or recovery. While horses can synthesize ascorbic acid in their liver, certain conditions such as aging, illness, or high-intensity activity may increase their need for supplemental Vitamin C. By promoting overall cellular health and aiding in tissue repair, ascorbic acid contributes to optimal performance, recovery, and general vitality in horses. Ensuring an adequate supply of Vitamin C through diet or supplementation can help maintain a horse's long-term health and well-being.
