Vitamin C is also called ascorbate or ascorbic acid, which is the major dietary form of the vitamin. It is similar in structure to glucose, and is an essential nutrient for humans. Vitamin C has a number of biological functions, including the manufacture of collagen and connective tissue, the biosynthesis of carnitine and certain neurotransmitters, the protection of LDL against oxidative damage, and the absorption of iron. Vitamin C may be the most important water-soluble antioxidant in the body.
Vitamin C has antioxidant activity, and may help in the detoxification. It may support immunity by enhancing components of the immune system such as glutathione.
