Ans: Organic Bounty uses 95% USDA-certified organic ingredients, including organic grass hay, berries, and herbs, while providing the same vitamin C fortification and nutritional completeness as Essentials formulas.

Ans: Each serving provides 250mg/kg of stabilized vitamin C (L-Ascorbyl-2-Monophosphate), meeting adult guinea pig daily requirements without additional supplementation when fed as directed.

Q3: Can I feed this to young or pregnant guinea pigs?
