Vitamin C is an essential nutrient involved in many normal biological processes within the body. It is also known as ascorbic acid, which refers to pure Vitamin C in its simplest form.
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, meaning the body does not store large amounts of it and regular intake through diet or supplementation may be beneficial.
Vitamin C occurs naturally in many foods such as fruits and vegetables. It is commonly included in food supplements to support daily nutritional intake.
