Product Description

Product Knowledge:
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid, VC), also known as ascorbic acid, is a vitamin that human body cannot produce on its own. It plays, however, an important role in the metabolism of human body and physiological function regulation and is one of the essential nutrients for the living of humans.

For a long time, researchers have made much effort in seeking the pharmaceutical functional mechanism of Vitamin C and found that besides its usage for treating scurvy, it also plays a role in helping formation of collagen in the tissues, protecting the active SH base of enzyme, participating in metabolism of tyrosine and the formation of adrenocortical hormones, as well as promoting the production of antibody and the absorption of iron in the body.

As Vitamin C oxidizes itself and consumes the oxygen in the food and the air, it delays the oxidizing and deteriorating process of animal and vegetable oil, milk and carotenoid. It can also retain the color and luster of meat and keep the freshness of fruit, vegetables and frozen food. Working together with Vitamin E, the complex obviously enhances anti-oxydation of the food.

Vitamin C is also the essential nutrient for animals and used as animal additives. It can promote the growing and breeding of animals, increase the meat and milk output and develop the animal immunity from disease. In recent years, the proportion of Vitamin C as the feed additives in the US, Japan and other developed countries is increasing evidently.
