Ascorbic acid, more commonly known as vitamin C, is used to prevent or treat low levels of vitamin C in the body. It plays an important role in the body and it is needed to maintain the health of the skin, cartilage, teeth, bone, and blood vessels. Vitamin C can be taken as a tablet or pill by mouth with or without food, 1 to 2 times daily. 

Ascorbic Acid Dosage 

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is usually taken orally. The average dose for adults is 70 to 150 mg daily. In the presence of scurvy, doses of 300 mg to 1 gram daily are recommended. However, as much as 6 grams have been administered to normal adults without evidence of toxicity.

Ascorbic Acid Formula 

Ascorbic acid has a molecular formula of C6H8O6 or HC6H7O6

Ascorbic Acid PKA

Ascorbic acid is a vinylogous carboxylic acid and forms the ascorbate anion when deprotonated on one of the hydroxyls. This property is characteristic of reductions: enediols with a carbonyl group adjacent to the enediol group, namely with the group –C(OH)=C(OH)–C(=O)–. The ascorbate anion is stabilized by electron delocalization that results from resonance between two forms. For this reason, ascorbic acid is much more acidic than expected. 

Ascorbic Acid in Food

Vitamin C occurs naturally in many fruits and vegetables, although if the food is heated the vitamins can be diminished.
