Vitamin C is a water soluble, essential vitamin found in most of the fruits and vegetables. Chemically it is called as L ascorbic acid.
It was discovered by Albert Szent György.
Vitamin C was the first vitamin to be prepared synthetically.
Why is vitamin C so important to Humans?
Unlike certain animals which synthesize ascorbic acid endogenously, Humans cannot do the job. Over that our body is not able to store for its future use. 70-90 % dietary vitamin C is absorbed and excess is excreted in urine.
So it’s important to include vitamin C in our daily diet. The RDA allowance varies with age and sex.
Vitamin C helps in collagen synthesis, tissue repair, is immune boosting and potent antioxidant.
Vitamin C improves absorption of non heme iron.
What is the role of vitamin c……… in infections like common cold?

Prophylactic use of vitamin C, do not prevent probability of getting common cold. But did reduce duration of symptoms.
