What is Vitamin C for Horses?

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a vital water-soluble vitamin that serves as a powerful antioxidant and is essential for collagen production, which strengthens connective tissues. It plays a critical role in the immune system, energy metabolism, and wound healing.

While horses can naturally synthesise Vitamin C from glucose, their ability to maintain optimal levels can be compromised during times of stress, poor health, or intense exercise. For horses on a hay-based diet or those who are stabled, natural Vitamin C supplementation can help fill the gap and ensure they maintain adequate levels of this crucial nutrient.

Why Supplement with Natural Vitamin C?

Although horses can synthesize Vitamin C, their ability to maintain sufficient levels can decline during periods of stress, illness, or heavy exercise. Horses fed primarily hay or haylage may also be at risk of Vitamin C deficiency since fresh grass provides a much higher concentration of this essential nutrient.

• Stabled horses often consume less Vitamin C, especially during winter months when fresh grass is unavailable.
• High-performance horses require additional Vitamin C to support energy metabolism and reduce oxidative stress caused by intense physical activity.
• Horses recovering from injury benefit from Vitamin C’s role in collagen production and wound healing.

Who Will Benefit from Natural Vitamin C Supplementation?

• Stabled horses: Horses with limited access to fresh grass, especially during winter, will benefit from natural Vitamin C to maintain optimal immune function and overall health.
• High-performance horses: Horses involved in activities like racing, eventing, or endurance riding require more Vitamin C to support energy metabolism and combat oxidative stress.
• Horses recovering from injury: Ideal for horses that are healing from wounds, fractures, or soft tissue injuries as Vitamin C aids in tissue repair and recovery.
• Older horses: Beneficial for older horses experiencing age-related health issues, as Vitamin C supports immune function and overall vitality.

Vitamin C Dosage for Horses

For optimal health and support, the recommended daily dose of natural Vitamin C varies based on your horse’s size and needs:

• Immune & lung support (standard dose): 3 to 10 grams per day.
• Performance or heavy work: 1 to 5 grams per day to support energy metabolism and reduce stress.
• Gut microflora challenges: 1 to 5 grams per day.

1 x 2.5ml scoop = approx. 3 grams

Caution: For horses with iron overload, Vitamin C can increase iron absorption, which may exacerbate the condition. We recommend feeding at the lower dose or consulting us for further guidance if your horse has iron issues.
