C-Vite

A Vitamin C supplement for dogs, cats, and all small animals. The demand for Vitamin C increases quite dramatically when any kind of stress is involved. Any animal subjected to stress will immediately produce large quantities of adrenalin to counter the stress - the adrenalin in turn blocks the availability of Vitamin C in the gut, which in turn severely impairs many vital bodily functions. One of the most important functions of extra Vitamin C is an "anti-oxidant". All mammals, including ourselves, are subject to agents within our bodies called Free Radicals. These Free Radicals can be highly dangerous, causing various chemical changes including cell growth, moulting, recovery from injury etc. Vitamin C is a very powerful enemy of these Free Radicals, playing an important part in their destruction. Because of its anti-oxidant properties, Vitamin C is also an excellent defence against the ravages within the body caused by pollution.
