Antioxidant function
Antioxidant activity is one of the essential characteristics of vitamin C. Vitamin C’s antioxidant properties aid in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, cancer, the common cold, cataracts, and age-related muscular degeneration. An imbalance between antioxidant defences and free radical production in the body causes oxidative stress, which damages a vast array of molecular substances, including proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Consuming a balanced diet of fruits and vegetables every day is the most effective method for preventing oxidative stress.
