Abstract in brief

Vitamin C is essential for maintaining connective tissues, supporting bone formation, wound healing, and healthy gums, and plays a key role in various metabolic processes such as activating folic acid, converting cholesterol to bile acids, and producing the neurotransmitter serotonin.
It functions as an antioxidant, protecting the body from free radical damage, and is used therapeutically to boost immune function, reduce allergy severity, and fight infections.
While vitamin C shows potential benefits in preventing and managing diseases like cancer, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders, scientific evidence remains inconclusive, warranting further research to fully understand its role in disease treatment.
