Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) is an essential nutrient for maintenance, growth, repro-duction and health. Long-term lack of Vitamin C will lead to scurvy. For humans, the main symptoms are gum swelling, slow wound healing, bone deformation, hy-pogenesis, and reducing immunity. As to animals, they are body abnormality, in-side hemorrhage, anorexia, sleeping a lot, reducing immunity, and finally influenc-ing the growth of animals.
Humans, especially aquatic species, need supplementing Vitamin C from outside sources, because they are incapable of synthesizing Vitamin C. Lower dosage addition of Vitamin C can prevent and treat scurvy. Its higher dosage supplementa-tion can improve animals' resistance to illness, environmental and physical stress.
