The Benefits of Vitamin C For Dogs

Vitamin C is an important antioxidant for dogs. It assists immune system function, relieves allergy symptoms, helps to neutralise free radicals in their bodies, protects cells from damage and reduces inflammation and cognitive aging. Although they can naturally produce their own Vitamin C, dogs produce lower amounts in times of stress or sickness (such as UTIs) and may benefit from Vitamin C supplementation.

Sodium ascorbate is a form of Vitamin C that is more easily absorbed by the body than Ascorbic Acid, making it an ideal choice for dogs. In addition, it is non-toxic and safe for dogs of all sizes.

Why Sodium Ascorbate?

Sodium Ascorbate vs Ascorbic Acid

CEN Vitamin C uses Sodium Ascorbate, a highly effective, more easily absorbed form of Vitamin C. It is pH neutral (pH 7.4) as opposed to acidic Ascorbic Acid (pH 3.0). Therefore Sodium Ascorbate does not irritate the intestinal tract or kidneys. The body easily absorbs sodium ascorbate, and studies have also shown that it stays in the system twice as long as the acid form. Sodium ascorbate is the only form of vitamin C approved by the FDA for intravenous injection in humans.

Benefits

Immune System: Vitamin C is a natural immune system booster. When absorbed into the body, it helps increase the number of antibodies responsible for fighting toxins, bacteria and viruses.

Allergies: Vitamin C helps relieve allergy symptoms because it acts as an antihistamine, a compound that counteracts histamine and fights inflammation.

Collagen: Vitamin C helps the production of collagen, a vital tissue that promotes joint and bone health.

Interferon: Vitamin C boosts your Dog’s level of interferon, a natural antibody that helps fight viral infections and cancerous growths.

Absorption: Supplementing Vitamin C has been linked to helping the absorption rate of other nutrients in the diet (or supplement).

Antioxidant: Vitamin C is a vital antioxidant for your Dog. They need it to maintain a healthy, lustrous coat. Vitamin C usually combines with Vitamin E to maintain their vibrant appearance.
