Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health. It serves as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules produced by processes like metabolism and exposure to environmental factors like pollution and UV radiation. Vitamin C is also vital for collagen synthesis, a protein that aids in wound healing, skin health, and the integrity of blood vessels, bones, and other connective tissues. Additionally, vitamin C supports the immune system's function, helps the body absorb iron from plant-based foods, and contributes to the production of certain neurotransmitters. Since the human body cannot synthesize vitamin C on its own, it must be obtained through diet or supplements.
