Vitamin C Powder plays a vital role in immunity, in the growth and maintenance of connective tissue and in combating stress and toxins.

Vitamin C in ample quantity is necessary for the production, formation and maintenance of collagen, blood vessels, ligaments, and tendons giving them all strength and structure. Collagen is the honeycomb in which minerals are deposited to form bone. Without collagen the body could come unglued and collapse. Large breed puppies are particularly susceptible to hip dysplasia where in the first 2 years their bodies are subjected to large growth and high stress. Vitamin C is one of nature’s best detoxifiers. It is very useful in treating Kennel Cough. Vitamin C is an anti- oxident and has the ability to trap free radicals that disrupt and damage cells which may cause cancer.
