Not only is it an essential micronutrient, Vitamin C is also a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative stress caused by illness, inflammation, and environmental toxins such as pollution and ultraviolet (UV) light
Its essential to distinguish cancer prevention from cancer treatment
Even modest reductions in micronutrient availability may therefore influence catalytic velocity across interconnected metabolic pathways, potentially amplifying bioenergetic and redox constraints under chronic flux limitation [112, 113]
Atherosclerosis creates a cycle where excess ROS and inflammatory proteins mutate genes, disrupt energy and hormone balance, and activate WBCs and platelets
The acetyl group prevents its oxidation and increases its plasma stability
