Description
(extracted from source data)
DESCPRITION A six carbon compound related to glucose. It is found naturally in citrus fruits and many vegetables. Ascorbic acid is an essential nutrient in human diets, and necessary to maintain connective tissue and bone. Its biologically active form, vitamin C, functions as a reducing agent and coenzyme in several metabolic pathways. Vitamin C is considered an antioxidant.
DESCRIPTION Used as a nutritional supplement to treat vitamin C deficiency (scurvy) and to help promote wound and bone healing. (GtoPdb)
