Description

Ascorbic acid is a potent antioxidant that is required for the synthesis of collagen and other proteins. It also has many roles in the prevention of diseases caused by oxidative stress. Ascorbic acid has been shown to be an effective treatment for infectious diseases, such as sepsis and tuberculosis. The effects of ascorbic acid on blood pressure are dose-dependent, with low doses being ineffective, but high doses causing an increase in blood pressure. Ascorbic acid can be used as a model system for studying how vitamin D affects bone health because it requires vitamin D to function properly.
