Introduction

In modern poultry and livestock farming, stress and immune suppression are among the most common challenges limiting productivity and profitability. High ambient temperature, frequent handling, vaccinations, transportation and disease exposure lead to oxidative stress  impairing feed efficiency, growth  and immune resilience.

NATURCEE Powder, a natural vitamin C supplement fortified with standardized Amla (Emblica officinalis) extract, provides a science-based, phytogenic approach to help animals combat stress, enhance immunity and improve overall performance  naturally and safely.

Understanding Stress and Immunity in Poultry

Stress is an unavoidable part of intensive poultry production systems. Physiological stressors such as heat stress, vaccination, disease exposure and feed transitions activate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, increasing cortisol and catecholamine levels. These hormonal changes elevate reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation and cellular damage.

Excessive oxidative stress suppresses immune cell activity, weakens the intestinal barrier and increases susceptibility to infections. Birds under chronic stress show reduced feed intake, poor growth and compromised vaccine response.

This is where the antioxidant and immune-supportive functions of Vitamin C become critical. Unlike most poultry cannot synthesize Vitamin C endogenously, making dietary supplementation essential under stress conditions.

NATURCEE: A Natural Source of Vitamin C and Bioflavonoids

NATURCEE Powder is a scientifically formulated natural Vitamin C supplement derived from standardized Amla extract, one of the richest natural sources of ascorbic acid and plant bioflavonoids.

Each component in NATURCEE is selected for its synergistic antioxidant and immunomodulatory activity  providing dual protection against stress-induced oxidative damage and immune dysfunction.

Key Bioactive Components of Amla (Emblica officinalis):

• Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C): Neutralizes ROS and supports collagen synthesis and immune defense.
• Polyphenols & Flavonoids (Quercetin, Kaempferol): Enhance antioxidant enzyme activity and protect cellular membranes.
• Tannins (Emblicanin A & B): Exhibit long-lasting free radical scavenging activity.
• Gallic acid & Ellagic acid: Modulate immune cell signaling and exhibit anti-inflammatory properties.

Together, these compounds make NATURCEE an advanced, natural alternative to synthetic Vitamin C sources.

How NATURCEE Works

1. Stress Management

During stressful conditions such as heat, vaccination, transportation, or feed change, oxidative stress disrupts metabolic homeostasis.
NATURCEE mitigates these effects through the following mechanisms:

• Reduces oxidative stress markers by scavenging free radicals and reactive oxygen species.
• Stabilizes cellular metabolism and maintains integrity of cell membranes.
• Regulates cortisol secretion, helping animals adapt better to stress conditions.
• Enhances antioxidant enzyme activity, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and glutathione peroxidase (GPx).
  

By supporting cellular defense, NATURCEE improves feed intake, livability and performance during stressful events.

2. Immune System Support

Vitamin C plays a key role in immune regulation and defense mechanisms:

• Stimulates lymphocyte proliferation and enhances phagocytic activity of macrophages.
• Improves antibody production post-vaccination, ensuring stronger immune response.
• Supports mucosal immunity, maintaining gut integrity and reducing pathogen colonization.
• Promotes cytokine balance, aiding in faster recovery from infections or vaccination stress.
  

Conclusion

NATURCEE Powder represents a next-generation, phytogenic approach to animal health  combining the power of natural Vitamin C with Amla bioflavonoids to support stress resilience and immune performance.

By promoting antioxidant protection, hormonal balance, and immune stability, NATURCEE helps poultry and livestock adapt better to environmental and physiological challenges  leading to improved growth, productivity and profitability.

As the industry shifts toward sustainable, residue-free, and natural feed solutions, NATURCEE stands as a trusted innovation bridging nature, science and performance for modern animal nutrition.
