\nIntroduction<\/h2>\n

Like primates, guinea pigs<\/a> require dietary vitamin C or ascorbic acid (Fig 1). Therefore, guinea pig treats should ideally be high in vitamin C and dietary fiber (*), but also low in calcium<\/a>. As the degree of freshness varies with market conditions, so can the vitamin C content. Tosun found that the highest vitamin C levels were detected in local open markets while the lowest vitamin C levels were seen in green grocery samples.<\/p>\n
