Ascorbic acid, commonly known as vitamin C, plays a crucial role in human health. Here's a fascinating fact: Vitamin C is water-soluble and cannot be stored in the body for long periods, which means it needs to be consumed regularly through diet or supplements to maintain adequate levels. This vitamin is essential for collagen synthesis, immune function, wound healing, and acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting cells from damage caused by free radicals.
 
That’s really interesting! 🌟 I didn’t know vitamin C couldn’t be stored long-term. Definitely a good reminder to keep up with those fruits and veggies! 🍊💪
