Mechanism of action
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) donates electrons to neutralize free radicals, thereby reducing oxidative damage to cells and tissues. It also serves as a cofactor for collagen synthesis, carnitine biosynthesis, and immune cell function, including enhancement of neutrophil and lymphocyte activity. In Phase 3 trials, it is typically investigated for its potential to reduce symptom severity or duration in acute illness or to support recovery in critical illness.
