Ascorbic acid: physiology and health effects

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is an essential dietary nutrient required for various biological processes in the human body. These include its vital role as antioxidant, and it acts as cofactor for the biosynthesis of collagen, catecholamines, amino acids, and various peptide hormones. Accumulating liter...

Accumulating literatures suggest that vitamin C may potentially implicate in the development of various chronic diseases partly due to its role in maintaining oxidative balance, this is due to the fact that initiation and development of many chronic diseases stemmed from oxidative stress and inflammation.
