What Is Vitamin C and Why Do You Need It?

Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, is an essential water-soluble nutrient that the human body cannot synthesise. It must be obtained from the diet or supplements. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative stress, supports the immune system, and is required for the synthesis of collagen. Many people choose to supplement with vitamin C to ensure adequate intake, particularly during periods of increased stress or seasonal immune challenges.
