Frequently Asked Questions
Guinea pigs, like humans, cannot synthesise Vitamin C internally and must obtain it through diet. Deficiency causes scurvy, leading to joint pain, lethargy, and bleeding gums.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) degrades on exposure to air, moisture, and heat. Use within 90 days of opening and store in a cool, dry, sealed container to maximise potency.
