What is Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) Overview about?
Ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for collagen synthesis and maintenance of tissues. While most mammals can synthesize vitamin C, humans must consume it daily. Vitamin C is recommended to prevent and treat scurvy and its parenteral administration is desirable for patients with acute deficiency or uncertain absorption. Common side effects include GI issues, hematologic effects like anemia in G6PD deficient patients, headaches, and urogenital symptoms at high doses.
