Functions

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble antioxidant that reacts directly with superoxide, hydroxyl radicals, and singlet oxygen. Vitamin C readily undergoes reversible oxidation and reduction in the body and has been shown to regenerate other antioxidants within the body, including alpha-tocopherol.

It decreases oxidants in gastric secretions which may protect lipids in plasma and against peroxidative damage. Ascorbic acid is absorbed in the small intestine by a sodium-dependent transport process that is intake dependent. It is a specific electron donor for enzymes that participate in collagen hydroxylation and carnitine biosynthesis.

This function is required to catalyze the crosslinking of collagen fibers which are essential for normal wound healing and capillary health. Vitamin C also appears to prevent inactivation of nitric oxide (NO)- mediated vasodilation.
