Ascorbic Acid

L-Ascorbic Acid is the pure, active form of Vitamin C, a water-soluble vitamin and antioxidant naturally found in fruits and vegetables such as oranges, lemons, and amla. It is an essential nutrient that supports normal immune function, collagen formation, wound healing, and protection of cells from oxidative damage.

In products, L-Ascorbic Acid can serve different purposes depending on the formulation. It is commonly used as a nutrient and antioxidant in foods and as an antioxidant and skin-conditioning ingredient in cosmetics.
