Vitamin C or Ascorbic Acid is a water-soluble vitamin essential for plants and animals. Humans, unlike other animals, are unable to synthesize vitamin C on their own so it must be obtained from the diet. Vitamin C is a strong antioxidant that provides protection against oxidative stress-induced cellular damage by scavenging of reactive oxygen species. Vitamin C is also an essential co-factor for collagen biosynthesis, carnitine and catecholamine metabolism, and dietary iron absorption.
