Understanding Vitamin C for horses

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient for horses, known for its antioxidant properties and its role in supporting the immune system, skin health, and joint function. Horses, unlike humans, can produce vitamin C naturally in their bodies through the synthesis of glucose. However, there are circumstances where additional vitamin C supplementation may be beneficial, such as during times of stress, illness, or for horses in high-performance work.

Benefits of Vitamin C for horses:

Supports the Immune System: Vitamin C is crucial for the proper functioning of the immune system

Antioxidant Protection: As a potent antioxidant, vitamin C helps neutralize free radicals in the body, protecting cells from oxidative damage. This is particularly beneficial for horses exposed to environmental stressors such as extreme temperatures, heavy training, or travel.

Collagen Production and Joint Health: Vitamin C is essential for collagen production, which is vital for the health of connective tissues like tendons, ligaments, and joints. This makes it useful for maintaining joint health, particularly in older horses or those with joint issues.

Improved Wound Healing: Vitamin C supports the healing of wounds, cuts, and injuries by promoting the production of collagen and other essential healing factors. Horses recovering from surgery or injury may benefit from an extra boost of vitamin C.

Stress Support: Horses undergoing physical stress, such as during training, competition, or transport, may have higher vitamin C needs. Supplementing with vitamin C can help replenish levels that may be depleted during periods of stress.

Signs of Vitamin C Deficiency in Horses:

Weakened immune response: Increased susceptibility to infections and illnesses.
Poor coat condition: Dull, rough, or patchy coat, which may be a sign of poor collagen synthesis.
Wound healing problems: Slower recovery from cuts, scrapes, or injuries.
Joint issues: Stiffness, discomfort, or decreased mobility in older horses or those with joint problems.
Fatigue or lethargy: Decreased energy levels, which can be a result of insufficient vitamin C

Vitamin C powder can be a beneficial supplement for horses, especially in times of stress, illness, or recovery. It supports immune function, joint health, and overall well-being. When used correctly vitamin C supplementation can help keep your horse in optimal health. Be sure to follow proper dosing recommendations and monitor your horse’s response to supplementation.
