Abstract in brief

  • Vitamin C is essential for human survival and functions primarily as a water-soluble antioxidant by donating electrons, which helps protect tissues from oxidative damage.
  • While high fruit and vegetable intake is linked to lower risks of diseases like cardiovascular issues, stroke, and cancer, it is unclear whether vitamin C directly causes these protective effects or if other nutrients in these foods contribute.
  • Research shows that proper dosing of vitamin C is important for effectiveness, but current studies have not conclusively proven its benefits in reducing oxidation markers or preventing disease, especially in healthy individuals; targeted studies on at-risk groups are needed for clearer results.
