L-Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) is a natural product that is a potent reducing agent and antioxidant. L-Ascorbic acid functions in fighting bacterial infections, in detoxifying reactions, and in the formation of collagen. L-Ascorbic acid is used in the treatment of scurvy.

L-Ascorbic acid (Standard) is the analytical standard of L-Ascorbic acid, primarily used for research and analytical applications. L-Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) is an endogenous antioxidant and electron donor essential for collagen synthesis and various enzymatic reactions. It selectively inhibits Cav3.2 channels (IC50 = 6.5 μM) and acts as a collagen deposition promoter and elastogenesis inhibitor. Furthermore, L-Ascorbic acid exhibits anticancer effects by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) and selectively damaging cancer cells.
