Overview

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble essential nutrient that functions as an antioxidant and plays critical roles in immune function, collagen synthesis, and cellular protection. Research published in the International Journal of Nutrition examines vitamin C within broader contexts of nutritional status, antioxidant function, and dietary adequacy across diverse populations. Studies have explored the role of nutritional antioxidants, including vitamin C, in protecting against oxidative stress and telomere attrition associated with biological aging. The journal has published work on complementary feeding recommendations that address micronutrient adequacy in children, nutritional assessments of vulnerable populations including urban workers with potential dietary gaps, and the nutritional needs of pregnant women following bariatric surgery where micronutrient deficiencies may arise. Additional research has examined antioxidant-rich dietary interventions for cardiovascular protection and the role of immunonutrients in clinical populations. The journal has also featured investigations into the biochemical properties of ascorbic acid itself. This body of work reflects vitamin C's significance as both an individual nutrient of clinical importance and a component of comprehensive nutritional strategies aimed at preventing deficiency, supporting immune health, and mitigating oxidative damage across the lifespan.
