What is Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)?

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient involved in many important functions within the body. It is also known as ascorbic acid, which refers to pure Vitamin C in its simplest form.

Vitamin C is water-soluble, 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, particularly fruits and vegetables. It is commonly included in food supplements to help support daily nutritional intake.
