Mechanism of action
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble antioxidant that donates electrons to neutralize reactive oxygen species and regenerate other antioxidants like vitamin E. Vitamin E (tocopherol) is a fat-soluble antioxidant that protects cell membranes from lipid peroxidation. Together, they provide complementary antioxidant protection across aqueous and lipid compartments of cells.
