What Is It
Vitamin C is a water soluble Vitamin that is synthesised from glucose in the equine liver. It is involved in the metabolism of the amino acid tyrosine and is a cofactor in the synthesis of carnitine, thyroxin, norepinephrine, dopamine and tryptophan. It also plays an important role in oxidation- reduction reactions, cellular respiration, iron and carbohydrate metabolism, synthesis of lipids, proteins, cartilage, collagen and folinic acid, catabolism of cholesterol to bile acids, has free radical neutralising and antioxidant activity and helps maintain immune function.
Low levels of serum ascorbate have been been found in stressed horses and those suffering from recurrent airway obstruction.( Kirschvink N. Fievez L. Bougnet V. Art T. Degand G. Smith N. Marlin D.
