Vitamin C (Cat.No:IA000252) is a vital water-soluble antioxidant that supports immune function, collagen synthesis, and wound healing. It also aids in the absorption of iron from plant-based foods and protects cells from oxidative stress. As a cofactor in various enzymatic reactions, Vitamin C is crucial for maintaining skin, blood vessels, and cartilage health. Deficiency can lead to scurvy, characterized by fatigue, bleeding gums, and poor wound healing. Vitamin C is commonly used in supplementation and skincare.
