Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is essential for the formation of elastic fibers (collagen) found in blood vessel walls, the deep dermis of the skin, the skeleton, tendons, ligaments and gums. It also contributes to the absorption and storage of iron, and to the metabolism of carnitine. Its powerful antioxidant activity is exploited by the food industry: ascorbic acid derivatives are used as preservatives, known as E300, E301 and E302. Vitamin C helps reduce fatigue and is involved in a number of reactions in the body, although care should be taken when taking it for certain people. It improves immune defenses, reduces the duration of colds and helps prevent cardiovascular disease, certain cancers and cataracts.
