Extract

Vitamin C is a dietary component that enhances bioavailability of inorganic ferric iron (Fishman et al., 2000). However, vitamin C is unstable in the presence of alkali and it might be destroyed in the duodenum (Arrigoni, and De Tullio, 2002). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of supplementing piglets with Stay C®35, a stable preparation of Vitamin C on plasma unbound iron and vitamin C status in piglets.
