Vitamin C Nedir?

ETKEN MADDE KÜTÜPHANESİ

Also known as L-ascorbic acid, vitamin C is a water-soluble essential vitamin that the human body cannot synthesize and must obtain through the diet. Citrus fruits, strawberries and green vegetables are among its richest sources.

With the chemical formula C6H8O6, it is one of the most widely occurring vitamins in nature and is frequently used in both food and cosmetic formulations.

In the scientific literature, vitamin C is well documented for its role as an antioxidant and as an essential cofactor in collagen synthesis. Research has examined its contribution to normal immune function, to protecting cells from oxidative stress, and — in topical (skincare) form — to skin brightness and photoprotection support. It is also studied for its role in the absorption of dietary (non-heme) iron.
