Ascorbic Acid Tablets

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 Side Effects 

Side effects with ascorbic acid are rare and many will go away during treatment as the body adjusts to the medicine. With high doses, some effects that might occur, diarrhea, dizziness, flushing or redness of the skin, headache, increase in urination, nausea, or stomach cramps. 

Ascorbic Acid Uses 

Ascorbic acid is an antioxidant. It helps prevent and treat scurvy. It can help the body fight bacterial infections. It acts as a preservative to keep food fresh. Cosmetics and other personal care products use less acidic forms of ascorbic acid to slow deterioration of the finished product and to control the pH level. It has many industrial applications, including a developing agent and preservative in photo production, water purification, fluorescence microscopy, and in plastic manufacturing. 

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. 

Ascorbic Acid Vitamin C 

Ascorbic acid also known as vitamin C occurs naturally in fresh fruits and vegetables it can also be made in a laboratory. Most experts recommend getting vitamin C from a diet high in fruits and vegetables rather than taking supplements. Historically, vitamin C was used for preventing and treating scurvy. Now it is commonly used for preventing the common cold.
