Vitamin C
Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) is the most studied and known water-soluble vitamin, since it is a very powerful antioxidant that protects against attack by free radicals in aqueous environments (intracellular liquid and plasma).
It is necessary for the formation, protection and stabilization of collagen (the main protein of the body, essential for the production of connective tissue, for tissue repair and for maintaining healthy capillaries).
Vitamin C is also essential for the absorption of other nutrients such as iron, folic acid and vitamin E and for the metabolism of some amino acids (phenylalanine and tyrosine).
