Vitamin C is an organic chemical compound that belongs to the group of polyhydroxy alcohols. It is water-soluble and its excess is excreted from the body through urine and sweat. The human body cannot synthesize vitamin C, so it is necessary to provide it through diet or supplements. Naturally, vitamin C is mainly found in fresh vegetables and fruits, such as acerola, blackcurrant, oranges, strawberries, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, peppers, and turnip greens.
