Vitamin C

Ascorbic acid

Mechanism

Das gesunde Pferd synthetisiert Vitamin C in der Leber selbst und ist nicht auf eine Zufuhr angewiesen. Diskutiert wird eine ergänzende Gabe bei Senioren, PPID oder Atemwegsbelastung, wo der oxidative Bedarf erhöht sein kann. Die orale Bioverfügbarkeit von reiner Ascorbinsäure ist begrenzt.

Cautions

  • · Regelhaft nicht nötig (Eigensynthese)
  • · Abruptes Absetzen nach Hochdosis vermeiden
