Regulating vitamin C levels could decrease morbidity and mortality in critically ill pediatric patients, while severe deficiency triggers scurvy with psychiatric symptoms.
Review of clinical physiology examines ascorbic acid as an enzymatic cofactor required for collagen synthesis, neurotransmitter synthesis, and epigenetic modifications.
Highlights the need for head-to-head clinical trials to define how vitamin C intake modulates cardiovascular disease risk, immune response, and overall cancer prognosis.
