Guinea Pig Pellets contain stabilized Vitamin C in levels that more than met the daily recommended Vitamin C requirement. We use a mono-phosphate ester of vitamin C which maintains it's shelf life for a guaranteed 6 months after the manufacture date stated on the bag. Not all guinea pig pelelts are created equal however. Many brands use ascorbic acid as their Vitamin C source, which only has a shelf life of 3 months after the manufacture date.
