Benefits

Besides its role as antioxidant, vitamin C is important to many metabolic processes, including the recycling of vitamin E, biosynthesis of collagen, and a significant role in the functionality of the immune system.   Most farm animal species can endogenously synthetize enough vitamin C. However, that is not the case for the very young ones (chicks and newborn piglets, e.g.) and those under challenging conditions, such as heat stress and weaning. For fish and shrimp, vitamin C is an essential nutrient and must be supplied in the feed.

While regular vitamin C supplements are very unstable to heat and light, therefore, not suitable for pelletized or extruded feed, stabilized forms are very costly.   C-Power^® is a 100% natural feed supplement of vitamin C to all species. It is composed of plants that contain vitamin C analogs (gallotannins), which are very stable and very effective, and other natural antioxidants. Such complex composition guarantees C-Power^® sustained bioactivity.
