Troy Vitamin C Injection is for use as a Vitamin C supplement for horses, cattle and dogs.
Vitamin C is an essential coenzyme in certain metabolic processes, particularly in the metabolism of the amino acids Tyrosine and Phenylalanine, collagen synthesis in ligaments, tendons and joint cartilage, synthesis of L-Carnitine, red blood cell formation, and modulating immune responses, as well as in the maintenance of healthy skin.
It is also essential in the conversion of Folic acid, and in promoting the absorption of Iron from the gut.
Vitamin C has a role in the metabolism of certain steroid hormones, and high levels of Vitamin C are found in the Adrenal gland in times of stress.
Like the B Complex vitamins, Vitamin C is water soluble, and is not well stored in the body.
It is rapidly absorbed and equally as rapidly excreted, so must be supplemented on a regular basis.
Horses are able to synthesise Vitamin C in normal circumstances, but failure of liver enzyme systems can initiate a deficiency.

What does Vitamin C do in my animal's body?
Vitamin C plays several important roles, including supporting collagen synthesis in ligaments, tendons and joint cartilage, helping form red blood cells, boosting immune responses, promoting healthy skin, and assisting in iron absorption. It also acts as a major antioxidant to neutralise free radicals and helps reduce inflammation.
What are the signs of Vitamin C deficiency?
Symptoms of Vitamin C deficiency in animals can include a flaky or rough coat, painful swollen joints, lameness or decreased mobility, teeth grinding or vocalisation from pain, delayed wound healing, secondary bacterial infections, and difficulty eating or loss of appetite.
How should I administer Troy Vitamin C Injection?
Troy Vitamin C Injection can be given by subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. For the correct dose for your animal and frequency of treatment, please refer to the product label or speak with your veterinarian or local agronomist. You can contact TGRM on (07) 5482 1692 or visit 55 Tozer St, Gympie for advice.
Why does my animal need regular Vitamin C supplementation?
Vitamin C is water soluble and is not well stored in the body. It is rapidly absorbed and excreted, so regular supplementation is needed to maintain adequate levels. While horses can normally synthesise their own Vitamin C, liver enzyme problems can lead to deficiency that requires supplementation.
