Description
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in various physiological processes within the human body. It is an essential nutrient, meaning that it cannot be synthesised by the body and must be obtained through diet or supplements.
Vitamin C has a range of functions, including support for your immune system and maintaining normal skin health. It is also a powerful antioxidant that can protect your cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals, especially in times of stress or illness. Vitamin C also plays an important role in the production and absorption of other vital micronutrients too. It helps your body absorb iron, contributing to anaemia prevention, and is involved in regenerating the reduced form of Vitamin E – another micronutrient with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
