QUICK SUMMARY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Liposomal Vitamin C is a complementary feed for dogs and cats with 300 mg of vitamin C per capsule. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation, the normal function of the immune system, and the protection of cells against oxidative stress?<\/span><\/span><\/span>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What’s in this supplement?<\/h2>\n

Each capsule contains 300 mg of ascorbic acid, the chemical name for vitamin C. The vitamin C is encapsulated in liposomes?<\/span><\/span><\/span>: tiny fat bubbles made from sunflower lecithin. The capsule shell is made of HPMC and is therefore plant-based. <\/p>\n

The biochemistry of vitamin C<\/h2>\n

Collagen.<\/strong> Collagen?<\/span><\/span><\/span> is a tough protein, a kind of rope that holds skin, bones, and cartilage together. The body needs vitamin C to assemble that rope properly. <\/p>\n

Antioxidant.<\/strong> In everything the body does, free radicals?<\/span><\/span><\/span> are produced: substances that can damage cells. Vitamin C scavenges those substances. <\/p>\n

Immune cells.<\/strong> Immune cells contain much more vitamin C than the blood.<\/p>\n

Energy.<\/strong> Vitamin C helps produce carnitine. Carnitine transports fats to the place in the cell where they are converted into energy. <\/p>\n

Natural production.<\/strong> Dogs and cats produce vitamin C themselves in the liver, from sugar.<\/p>\n

How strong is this evidence?<\/strong> The role of vitamin C in collagen formation and protection against free radicals is well established. Most research has been done in humans and laboratory animals. Less research has been done in dogs and cats. <\/p>\n
