Description
What it is. Sodium calcium ascorbyl phosphate, or vitamin C, is a stabilised form of ascorbic acid obtained by chemical synthesis, presented in solid form. It corresponds to a calcium and sodium phosphate salt of vitamin C, with a minimum purity of 95% and a minimum content of 35% ascorbic acid equivalent.
What it is for. This additive belongs to the functional group of vitamins and supplies vitamin C to animals, across all species. It would generally be used as a source of vitamin C in premixtures and complete feed, particularly in situations where additional antioxidant intake or metabolic cofactor support is sought. Its phosphated form is intended to improve vitamin stability compared with free ascorbic acid.
Points to watch. The minimum purity of 95% and the minimum ascorbic acid content of 35% must be respected and verified by HPLC. Storage and stability conditions must be specified in the instructions for use of the additive and premixtures, and respiratory protection is required during handling for user safety.
