Abstract

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is commonly found in vegetables, and fruits. Vitamin C, one of the 13 essential vitamins for the body, is a vitamin that plays an important role in strengthening resistance. In addition, vitamin C also plays an important role in the biosynthesis of collagen and some components of connective tissue, preventing sunburn when combined with vitamin E, increasing iron absorption, preventing skin aging, At present, vitamin C is formulated into oral preparations to promote health or forms of preparations used directly on the surface of the skin, which are very beneficial to the skin and body. However, an excess or a lack of vitamin C can cause many undesirable effects. Prolonged excess of vitamin C can lead to unwanted problems such as increased risk of kidney stones; while vitamin C deficiency can lead to periodontal disease.
