Vitamin C, better known as ascorbic acid, is a fat-soluble, easily oxidizing white or colorless, odorless crystal with a very sour taste. Our body cannot produce vitamin C on its own and it must be obtained through food or as a dietary supplement. Vitamin C has a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect. It works against allergies and diseases of the respiratory system, helps in the regeneration of our teeth, and gives our skin a younger appearance.
