Additional Notes
- Vitamin C Overview: Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) is a water-soluble vitamin and a potent antioxidant essential for collagen synthesis, immune function, and tissue repair. It prevents scurvy and is widely used in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
- Glycine Clarification: If you intended to ask about Glycine (CAS No. 56-40-6, Molecular Formula C2H5NO2), it’s an amino acid, not directly related to Vitamin C, though it plays a role in collagen formation, which Vitamin C supports. Let me know if you need Glycine-specific details or a Vitamin C derivative like Capryloyl Glycine.

Vitamin C Features and Benefits
Key Features
1. Powerful Antioxidant Properties
Vitamin C is one of the most effective antioxidants, neutralizing harmful free radicals that can damage cells and contribute to aging and disease. It helps protect the body from oxidative stress and supports cellular health.
2. Essential for Collagen Synthesis
Vitamin C serves as a crucial cofactor in collagen production, the protein that maintains the structure of skin, bones, cartilage, teeth, and blood vessels. Without adequate vitamin C, collagen synthesis becomes impaired.
3. Immune System Support
This vitamin enhances various immune functions, including stimulating white blood cell production and activity, improving the skin’s barrier function, and helping the body fight off infections more effectively.
4. Iron Absorption Enhancement
Vitamin C significantly improves the absorption of non-heme iron (iron from plant sources) by converting it to a more absorbable form, helping prevent iron deficiency anemia.
5. Water-Soluble Nature
Being water-soluble means vitamin C is easily absorbed by the body and excess amounts are naturally excreted through urine, making toxicity relatively rare compared to fat-soluble vitamins.
6. Enzyme Cofactor
Vitamin C participates in numerous enzymatic reactions throughout the body, including those involved in neurotransmitter synthesis, hormone production, and metabolism.
