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.
