Oxbow Natural Science Vitamin C Supplement is a hay-based, high-fibre chewable tablet providing stabilised vitamin C for guinea pigs and other small animals. Unlike vitamin C added to water — which degrades rapidly — the tablet format guarantees each animal receives its full dose with every feeding.

Guinea pigs cannot synthesise their own vitamin C and require daily supplementation to prevent scurvy — a condition that causes lethargy, rough coat, swollen joints, and bleeding. The hay-based tablet format provides natural fibre alongside the vitamin, and the palatable formulation is accepted readily by most guinea pigs. Also beneficial for other small animals during illness, recovery, or periods of environmental stress. Each tablet provides a guaranteed dose. Available in 120g (60 tablets).

Oxbow Vitamin C is the recommended supplementation method for guinea pig owners because the tablet format ensures dose reliability — a critical advantage over water-soluble vitamin C that degrades within hours. Consistent daily dosing is essential for preventing deficiency in guinea pigs.
