One Bio C
Stabilized Vitamin C Supplement for Aquaculture Feeds
One Bio C is a phosphorylated derivative of L-ascorbic acid engineered for modern aquaculture feed production. It delivers reliable, bioavailable Vitamin C through the most demanding processing conditions — protecting aquatic health from hatchery to harvest.
Why One Bio C?
Conventional ascorbic acid degrades rapidly under heat, moisture, and mineral interaction during feed manufacturing. One Bio C uses sodium-calcium L-ascorbyl phosphate — a phosphorylated molecule that shields Vitamin C through pelleting and extrusion, then releases fully bioavailable ascorbic acid upon digestion.
Key Benefits
Skeletal Integrity
Supports collagen synthesis essential for bone formation, cartilage development, and connective tissue strength across all life stages.
Immune Activation
Promotes phagocytic immune cell activity, enhances pathogen defense, and improves recovery speed following infection or injury.
Antioxidant Defense
Neutralizes reactive oxygen species to preserve cellular membranes, proteins, and DNA under intensive production stress.
Stress Adaptation
Supports physiological stress response pathways, helping fish and shrimp adapt to temperature shifts, handling, and high stocking density.
Feed Stability
Phosphorylated structure resists oxidation in premixes and complete feeds, ensuring declared Vitamin C levels reach the animal intact.
Broad Species Range
Effective for marine and freshwater fish, shrimp, prawns, and aquatic invertebrates across all production stages and feed formats.
Technical Superiority vs Plain Vitamin C Sources
One Bio C is purpose-built for modern aquaculture feed technology. Unlike plain ascorbic acid or coated alternatives, the monophosphate structure offers molecular-level protection that holds up under the toughest production conditions.
| Feature | One Bio C (Ascorbyl Phosphate) | Plain Ascorbic Acid |
|---|---|---|
| Heat stability during pelleting/extrusion | ✓ Excellent (stable to 130°C) | ✗ Poor — significant loss |
| Resistance to trace mineral oxidation | ✓ High — phosphate shields active site | ✗ Low — rapid degradation |
| Shelf life in premix | ✓ Up to 24 months | ✗ 3–6 months typical |
| Bioavailability in vivo | ✓ Full — enzymatic hydrolysis in gut | ✗ Variable — degrades before use |
| Consistent declared potency at feeding | ✓ Reliable | ✗ Unreliable |
| Suitable for extrusion-based feeds | ✓ Yes | ✗ Not recommended |
Dosage & Administration
One Bio C is incorporated directly into premixes, concentrates, or complete feed formulations. The product is free-flowing with a bulk density of 0.8–1.0 g/mL and mixes uniformly without special handling equipment. Inclusion rates should be adjusted based on species, life stage, and prevailing environmental or health conditions.
| Production Stage | Species Category | Recommended Level (mg/kg feed) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Larval & Juvenile | Marine & Freshwater Fish | 100 – 300 mg/kg | Critical phase — higher end recommended |
| Grow-out Phase | Marine & Freshwater Fish | 50 – 150 mg/kg | Standard maintenance level |
| All Stages | Shrimp & Crustaceans | 150 – 300 mg/kg | Sustained supplementation recommended |
| Stress / Disease Challenge | All Species | Up to 400 mg/kg | Short-term therapeutic use |
