pharmaceutical Vitamin C

Description

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a derivative of glucose. It is a water-soluble, unstable vitamin – sensitive to oxygen and high temperatures. Any drying, salting or the use of preservatives destroys vitamin C. The discovery of the influence of vitamin C on humans was associated with a disease affecting sailors – scurvy. The sailors’ diet during the cruises was deprived of fresh vegetables and fruits (sources of vitamin C), which led to the disease, only supplementing it with sauerkraut and citrus fruits (rich in vitamin C) improved the situation.
