Pharmacological group

pharmachologic effect

Ascorbic acid plays an important role in the regulation of redox processes, carbohydrate metabolism, blood clotting processes, tissue regeneration, and helps to increase the body's resistance to infections.

Dextrose (glucose) is involved in various metabolic processes in the body.

Indications

Prevention and treatment of hypo- and avitaminosis (scurvy). Providing an increased need for vitamin C in the body during the period of intensive growth, pregnancy, breastfeeding, with intense physical and mental stress, stressful conditions, during the period of recovery after prolonged serious illness.

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to the drug. Large doses should not be prescribed to patients with increased blood clotting, thrombophlebitis and a tendency to thrombosis; with diabetes mellitus and conditions accompanied by increased content blood glucose. Contraindicated in children under 6 years of age.

Carefully

Diabetes mellitus, deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase; for use in high doses - hemochromatosis, sideroblastic anemia, thalassemia, hyperoxaluria, nephrourolithiasis.

Application during pregnancy and lactation

Ascorbic acid crosses the placental barrier. It should be borne in mind that the fetus can adapt to high doses of ascorbic acid taken by a pregnant woman, and then the newborn may develop ascorbic disease as a withdrawal reaction. Therefore, during pregnancy, you should not take ascorbic acid in higher dosesunless the expected benefit outweighs the potential risk.

Ascorbic acid is released from breast milk... A mother's diet containing adequate amounts of ascorbic acid is sufficient to prevent deficiency in an infant. It is recommended that a nursing mother not exceed the maximum daily requirement for ascorbic acid, unless the expected benefit outweighs the potential risk.

Method of administration and dosage

The drug is taken orally after meals.

For prophylactic purposes, adults take ½ (50 mg) - 1 (100 mg) tablet, children from 6 to 18 years old - ½ (50 mg) tablets per day.

For medicinal purposes, adults ½ (50 mg) - 1 (100 mg) tablet 3-5 times a day, children ½ (50 mg) - 1 (100 mg) 2-3 times a day.

The timing of treatment depends on the nature and course of the disease.

During pregnancy and lactation, 3 tablets per day for 10-15 days, then 1 tablet per day.

Side effects

Allergic reactions, irritation of the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, spasm of the gastrointestinal tract); inhibition of the function of the insular apparatus of the pancreas (hyperglycemia, glucosuria): when used in high doses - hyperoxaluria and nephrocalcinosis (oxalate).

Changes in laboratory parameters: thrombocytosis, hyperprothrombinemia, erythropenia, neutrophilic leukocytosis, hypokalemia.

Overdose

Symptoms: when using more than 1 g - headache, increased excitability of the central nervous system, insomnia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hyperacid gastritis, ulceration of the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract, inhibition of the function of the insular apparatus of the pancreas (hyperglycemia, glucosuria), hyperoxaluria, nephrolithiasis (from calcium oxalate), damage to the glomerular apparatus kidney, moderate pollakiuria (when taking a dose of more than 600 mg / day).

Decreased capillary permeability (possible deterioration of tissue trophism, increased blood pressure, hypercoagulation, development of microangiopathies).

In the case of ingestion of a potentially toxic dose, they induce vomiting, in rare cases, they wash the stomach, prescribe activated carbon, laxatives (for example, isotonic sodium sulfate solution).

Interaction

Ascorbic acid: increases the concentration of benzylpenicillin and tetracyclines in the blood; at a dose of 1 g / day increases the bioavailability of ethinyl estradiol (including that which is part of oral contraceptives).

Improves the absorption of iron preparations in the intestine (converts ferric iron to ferrous); can increase the excretion of iron while used with deferoxamine.

Reduces the effectiveness of heparin and indirect anticoagulants.

Acetylsalicylic acid, oral contraceptives, fresh juices and alkaline drinking reduce absorption and absorption.

With simultaneous use with acetylsalicylic acid, urinary excretion of ascorbic acid increases and excretion decreases acetylsalicylic acid... Acetylsalicylic acid reduces the absorption of ascorbic acid by about 30%. Increases the risk of crystalluria when treated with salicylates and sulfonamides short acting, slows down the excretion of acids by the kidneys, increases the excretion of drugs with an alkaline reaction (including alkaloids), reduces the concentration in the blood of oral contraceptives. Increases the total ethanol clearance, which in turn reduces the concentration of ascorbic acid in the body.

Medicines of the quinoline series, calcium chloride, salicylates, glucocorticosteroids, with prolonged use, deplete the reserves of ascorbic acid. With simultaneous use reduces chronotropic action isoprenaline. With prolonged use or use in high doses, the interaction of disulfiram-ethanol may be disrupted.

In high doses, it increases the excretion of mexiletine by the kidneys.

Barbiturates and primidone increase the excretion of ascorbic acid in the urine. Reduces therapeutic action antipsychotic drugs (neuroleptics) - phenothiazine derivatives, tubular reabsorption of amphetamine and tricyclic antidepressants.

special instructions

Due to the stimulating effect of ascorbic acid on the synthesis of corticosteroid hormones, it is necessary to monitor renal function and blood pressure.

With prolonged use of large doses, it is possible to suppress the function of the insular apparatus of the pancreas, therefore, it must be regularly monitored during treatment.

In patients with an increased iron content in the body, ascorbic acid should be used in minimal doses.

The administration of ascorbic acid to patients with rapidly proliferating and intensely metastatic tumors can aggravate the process.

Ascorbic acid as a reducing agent can distort the results of various laboratory tests (blood glucose, bilirubin, hepatic transaminase and lactate dehydrogenase activity).

All mothers know about the usefulness of vitamin C, so its intake in children's organism attention is paid from the very birth, making up a rational menu for the baby. If it is not possible to provide the child with a sufficient amount of ascorbic acid with food, they resort to vitamin supplements. From how many years it is permissible to give pharmaceutical preparations with vitamin C to prevent its lack and for what diseases they are needed in childhood?

Release form

Ascorbic acid is produced by:

In tablets.These round tablets can be white, pink, orange or other color depending on the composition. They include 25 mg or 100 mg of ascorbic acid, but they also manufacture a preparation with 50 mg, 75 mg, 300 mg or 500 mg of such a vitamin compound. One pack contains 10, 50 or 100 tablets.
In a dragee. These are often small spherical vitamins. yellow color... Each tablet contains 50 mg of vitamin. One package contains 50, 100, 150 or 200 pills.
In ampoules. This form of ascorbic acid is intended to be administered into a vein or intramuscular injection... This is a 5% or 10% clear solution, poured into 1 or 2 ml ampoules. One package contains 5 or 10 ampoules.

Accelerates skin healing in case of damage.
Participates in the formation of collagen.
Helps absorb iron and folic acid.
Activates digestive enzymes, improves bile secretion, pancreatic and thyroid gland.
Reduces the manifestations of allergies and inflammation by inhibiting the formation of mediators involved in these pathological processes.

How vitamin C affects the body and what are the indications and contraindications for the use of ascorbic acid - see in a short video:

Indications

If his diet is unbalanced and there is a risk of hypovitaminosis.
During the active growth of the child's body.
To prevent ARVI. This reason is relevant in autumn, winter cold and early spring.
If the child has increased emotional or physical stress.
If the baby is recovering from injury or surgery.

For therapeutic purposes, vitamin C preparations are prescribed:

With diagnosed hypovitaminosis C.
With hemorrhagic diathesis.
With nose and other bleeding.
When infectious diseases or intoxications.
With excessive use of iron supplements for a long time.
With acute radiation sickness.

With sluggish healing of burns, ulcers or wounds on the skin.
With bone fractures.
With dystrophy.
With helminthiasis.
For chronic dermatoses and some other skin diseases.

At what age can you give?

Give drugs with ascorbic acid one year old child it is impossible. Tablets, which contain 25 mg of ascorbic acid, are prescribed from the age of 3. Dragee with a vitamin content in a dose of 50 mg is prescribed for children over 5 years old.

Such age restrictions are associated with difficulties in swallowing the drug in early age, as well as the risk of inhaling pills. If necessary, your doctor may prescribe vitamin C earlier, but you should not do this yourself. Even when the child is already 3 years old or more, it is worth consulting a pediatrician about the use of such a vitamin.

Contraindications

Instructions for use prohibit ascorbic acid in such cases:

If the patient has an intolerance to such a vitamin.
If there is a tendency to thrombosis or thrombophlebitis is detected.
If the child has diabetes (for forms with sugar).
If the blood test showed too high level hemoglobin.
If a small patient is diagnosed with severe renal pathology.

Side effects

Sometimes the child's body reacts to the intake of ascorbic acid with allergies. These are often skin changes that manifest themselves with redness, itching, and rashes.

Vitamin C treatment can also lead to:

Thrombocytosis, erythropenia, leukocytosis due to neutrophils.
Weakness and dizziness (if injected too quickly into a vein).
Diarrhea (with high dosage)
Nausea or vomiting.
Damage to tooth enamel (with prolonged absorption in the mouth).
Fluid and sodium retention.
Formation of oxalate stones in the urinary tract (with prolonged use of high doses).
Disruption of metabolic processes.
Kidney damage.
Soreness at the injection site (if injected intramuscularly).

Instructions for use and dosage

Ascorbic acid tablets with glucose or pills are offered to the child after meal.
Prophylactic dose for babies 3-10 years old, it is represented by 1 tablet containing 25 mg of the vitamin, and at the age of over ten years, this daily dosage is increased to two tablets (50 mg per day).
Therapeutic doseis 2 tablets of 25 mg of ascorbic acid per day under the age of 10 years (daily dose of 50 mg) and three to four tablets of the drug over the age of 10 years (daily dose of 75-100 mg).
Ascorbic acid prophylactically is recommended to be taken from two weeks to two months... The duration of the treatment course is determined by the doctor.
If dosage active substance the tablet contains 100 mg, then such ascorbic acid is given in a dose of 1/2 tablet per day to children over 6 years old.
Dragee is given for prophylaxis to children over five years old, 1 piece per day, and for treatment - 1-2 pills up to 3 times a day.
Only a doctor should prescribe Ascorbic acid to children in injections.... The daily dosage is 1-2 ml of the drug, but a more accurate dose, route of administration and duration of therapy should be determined by a specialist, taking into account the disease in a particular child.

Overdose

Since ascorbic acid is a water-soluble compound, hypervitaminosis does not develop with an overestimated dosage of this vitamin. However, unnecessarily high doses of such a substance can damage the lining of the stomach and intestines, which leads to abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloating, vomiting and other negative symptoms.

Also, poisoning with a very large amount of vitamin C is manifested by weakness, sweating, hot flashes, insomnia, and headaches. In addition, an excess of this substance will reduce capillary permeability, which will impair tissue nutrition, increase blood pressure and can lead to hypercoagulation.

To prevent ascorbic acid from causing discomfort, you should know about the maximum recommended dosages of such a vitamin:

For children under 3 years old, this is 400 mg per day.
For a child aged 4 to 8 years, the maximum dose per day is called 600 mg.
For children 9 to 13 years old, do not exceed 1200 mg per day.
Over the age of 14, the permissible maximum of ascorbic acid per day is 1800 mg of this vitamin.

Watch an informative video, which tells what can happen if you allow an excess of vitamin C in the body:

Interaction with other drugs

The use of ascorbic acid will increase the blood levels of penicillin and tetracycline antibiotics, as well as salicylates.
With the combined intake of vitamin C and acetylsalicylic acid, the absorption of ascorbic acid worsens. The same effect is observed when drinking ascorbic acid with an alkaline liquid or fresh juice.
Simultaneous use with anticoagulants will reduce their therapeutic effect.
Taking vitamin C together with iron supplements promotes better absorption of Fe in the intestine. If ascorbic acid and deferoxamine are prescribed, iron toxicity will increase, which will negatively affect the heart and its work.
To mix injection form vitamin C in the same syringe with any medications is not recommended, since many drugs enter into chemical reactions with ascorbic acid.
With simultaneous treatment with barbiturates, the excretion of ascorbic acid in the urine increases.

Approved by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Belarus

Order No. 393 dated 04/14/2015

Tradename: Glucose.

International non-proprietary name:Carbohydrates.

Release form: solution for infusion 50 mg / ml or 100 mg / ml.

Description: transparent colorless or slightly yellowish solution.

Composition for one bottle:

solution 50 mg / ml:

active substance: anhydrous glucose - 20.0 g;

excipient: water for injections.

solution 100 mg / ml:

active substance: anhydrous glucose - 40.0 g;

excipients: hydrochloric acid 0.1 M solution, sodium chloride, water for injection.

Pharmacotherapeutic group: Solutions for intravenous administration. Solutions for parenteral nutrition.

Plasma-substituting, rehydrating, metabolic and detoxifying agent. The mechanism of action is due to the substrate inclusion of glucose in the processes of energy (glycolysis) and plastic (transamination, lipogenesis, nucleotide synthesis) metabolism.

It participates in various metabolic processes in the body, enhances the redox processes in the body, improves the antitoxic function of the liver. Glucose, entering the tissues, is phosphorylated, turning into glucose-6-phosphate, which is actively involved in many links of the body's metabolism. When glucose is metabolized in tissues, a significant amount of energy is released, which is necessary for the vital activity of the body.

100 mg / ml glucose solution is hypertonic in relation to blood plasma, with increased osmotic activity. When intravenous administration increases the output of tissue fluid into the vascular bed, increases diuresis, increases the excretion of toxic substances in the urine, improves the antitoxic function of the liver.

When diluted to an isotonic state (solution 50 mg / ml), it replenishes the volume of lost fluid, maintains the volume of circulating plasma.

The theoretical osmolality of a 50 mg / ml glucose solution is 287 mOsm / kg.

Theoretical osmolality of glucose solution 100 mg / ml - 602 mOsm / kg

When administered intravenously, the glucose solution quickly leaves the vascular bed.

Transport into the cell is regulated by insulin. In the body, we undergo biotransformation along the hexose phosphate pathway - the main pathway of energy metabolism with the formation of high-energy compounds (ATP) and the pentose phosphate pathway - the main

the way of plastic metabolism with the formation of nucleotides, amino acids, glycerol.

Glucose molecules are utilized in the process of energy supply to the body. Glucose, entering the tissues, is phosphorylated, turning into glucose-6-phosphate, which is subsequently included in the metabolism (the end products of metabolism are carbon dioxide and water). Easily penetrates through histohematogenous barriers into all organs and tissues.

It is absorbed completely by the body, it is not excreted by the kidneys (the appearance in the urine is a pathological sign).

Indications for use

A solution of glucose 50 mg / ml is used to replenish the volume of fluid during cellular and general dehydration, with extracellular hyperhydration.

Glucose solution 100 mg / ml is used for hypoglycemia and liver diseases (hepatitis, cirrhosis, hepatic coma), for osmotherapy in case of insufficient diuresis, collapse and shock, in severe infectious diseases, decompensation of cardiac activity, various intoxications (drug poisoning, cyanide, carbon monoxide, etc.), with hemorrhagic diathesis, for parenteral nutrition.

Glucose solutions can be used both independently and according to indications in combination with other medicinal substances (sodium chloride, potassium chloride, NaEDTA, etc.), and also used for dilution of medicines.

Method of administration and dosage regimen

Before the introduction, the doctor must conduct a visual examination of the bottle with the drug. The solution must be clear, free of suspended particles or sediment. A medicinal product is considered suitable for use if there is a label and the package is sealed.

The concentration and volume of glucose solution administered for intravenous infusion is determined by a number of factors, including age, body weight and clinical condition the patient. It is recommended that you periodically measure your blood glucose level.

Isotonic solution 50 mg / ml injected intravenously with a recommended injection rate of 70 drops / minute (3 ml / kg of body weight per hour).

Hypertonic solution 100 mg / ml injected intravenously at a recommended rate of 60 drops / minute (2.5 ml / kg of body weight per hour).

It is allowed to introduce solutions of 50 mg / ml and 100 mg / ml glucose intravenously in a stream - 10-50 ml.

In adults with a normal metabolism, the daily dose of injected glucose should not exceed 1.5-6 g / kg of body weight per day (with a decrease in metabolic intensity, the daily dose is reduced), while the daily volume of injected fluid is 30-40 ml / kg.

For children for parenteral nutrition, along with fats and amino acids, 6 g / kg / day is administered on the first day, and then up to 15 g / kg / day. When calculating the dose of glucose with the introduction of solutions of 50 mg / ml and 100 mg / ml of dextrose, you need to take into account the permissible volume of injected fluid: for children weighing 2-10 kg - 100-165 ml / kg / day, children weighing 10-40 kg - 45-100 ml / kg / day.

When using a glucose solution as a solvent, the recommended dose is 50-250 ml per dose of the drug to be dissolved, the characteristics of which also determine the rate of administration.

Adverse reactions at the injection site: pain at the injection site, irritation of the veins, phlebitis, venous thrombosis.

Endocrine system and metkbolism disorders: hyperglycemia, hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia, hypomagnesemia, acidosis.

External violations digestive tract: polydipsia, nausea.

General reactions of the body: hypervolemia, allergic reactions (increased body temperature, skin rashes, hypervolemia).

In case of occurrence adverse reactions the introduction of the solution should be stopped, the patient's condition should be assessed and assistance should be provided. The solution that remains should be kept for later analysis.

Hypersensitivity, hyperglycemia, hyperlactacidemia, hyperhydration, postoperative glucose utilization disorders; circulatory disorders threatening cerebral and pulmonary edema; cerebral edema, pulmonary edema, acute left ventricular failure.

Caution: decompensated chronic heart failure, chronic renal failure (oligo-, anuria), hyponatremia, diabetes mellitus.

Overdose can cause hyperglycemia, hyperhydration, hypervolemia, hypokalemia.

Therapy depends on the type and severity of disorders: discontinuation of infusion, administration of insulin (1U of insulin for 4-5g of glucose), diuretics, electrolytes.

For a more complete assimilation of glucose, administered in large doses, insulin is prescribed simultaneously with it at the rate of 1 U of insulin per 4-5 g of glucose. For diabetic patients, glucose is administered under the control of its content in blood and urine. During treatment, it is necessary to monitor the ionogram.

The use of glucose in patients with acute ischemic stroke may slow down the healing process.

To avoid hyperglycemia, the level of possible glucose oxidation must not be exceeded.

The glucose solution cannot be administered quickly or long time... If chills occur during the administration, the administration should be stopped immediately. To prevent thrombophlebitis, it should be administered slowly through large veins.

When renal failure, decompensated heart failure, hyponatremia required special care when prescribing glucose, control of indicators of central hemodynamics.

Application during pregnancy and lactation. Glucose solution for infusion should be administered with caution to women during pregnancy and lactation.

Influence on the ability to drive vehicles and other potentially dangerous mechanisms. Does not affect.

Interacting with others medicines

When combined with other drugs, it is necessary to clinically monitor their possible incompatibility (possible invisible pharmaceutical or pharmacodynamic incompatibility).

The glucose solution should not be mixed with alkaloids (their decomposition occurs), with general anesthetics (decreased activity), with hypnotics (their activity decreases).

Glucose weakens the activity of analgesics, adrenomimetics, inactivates streptomycin, and reduces the effectiveness of nystatin.

Due to the fact that glucose is a fairly strong oxidizing agent, it should not be injected in the same syringe with hexamethylenetetramine.

Under the influence of thiazide diuretics and furosemide, glucose tolerance decreases.

Glucose solution reduces the toxic effect of pyrazinamide on the liver. The introduction of a large volume of glucose solution promotes the development of hypokalemia, which increases the toxicity of simultaneously prescribed digitalis drugs.

Glucose is incompatible in solutions with aminophylline, soluble barbiturates, erythromycin, hydrocortisone, warfarin, kanamycin, soluble sulfonamides, cyanocobalamin.

Glucose solution should not be administered in the same infusion set with blood due to the risk of nonspecific agglutination.

Since the glucose solution for intravenous infusion is acidic (pH<7), может возникнуть несовместимость при одновременном введении с другими лекарственными средствами.

Store at a temperature not exceeding 25 ºС.

Keep out of the reach of children.

Do not use after the expiration date printed on the package.

400 ml in glass bottles for blood, transfusion and infusion preparations. Each bottle, along with instructions for use, is placed in a pack.

For delivery to hospitals: 24 bottles, together with the appropriate number of instructions for use, in corrugated cardboard boxes.

Ascorbic acid, or ascorbic acid, is a well-known vitamin C. It is often taken during illness to activate the body's defenses. it biologically active substance takes part in all metabolic processes... The daily requirement for ascorbic acid is 100 mg.

Sources of Vitamin C

An increased amount of ascorbic acid is found in citrus fruits, various varieties of cabbage, rose hips, currants, apples, bell peppers, strawberries, tomatoes and persimmons.

Pharmaceutical fortified preparations available in the form of tablets, lozenges and ampoules for injection... It is an overdose of such drugs that causes side effects on the body.

Why vitamin C is useful

Ascorbic acid is vital, its benefit is to activate the immune system. She also takes an active part in the process of hematopoiesis, improves the functionality of the nervous and endocrine systems.

Vitamin C is considered a powerful antioxidant that removes free radicals from the body... Ascorbic acid is essential for the growth and development of connective tissue and collagen fibers. A sufficient level of this substance is an effective prevention of inflammatory and infectious diseases.

Energy production of the tissues of the human body also largely depends on ascorbic acid, which is involved in the synthesis of carnitine.

Indications for taking vitamin C tablets

In addition to the prevention of hypo- and avitaminosis, doctors recommend taking ascorbic acid in such cases:

the period of growth and puberty;
pregnancy and breastfeeding;
during heavy physical exertion;
a state of chronic overwork;
the rehabilitation period after a serious illness or injury;
in winter and spring time to prevent the development of viral diseases;
with acute and chronic blood loss;
intoxication and dystrophy of the body.

How to take vitamin C correctly

In order for ascorbic acid not to cause harm, it is necessary to remember about contraindications, symptoms of overdose and the dosage of vitamin preparations. Each pharmacy contains an admission rate for children and adults.

Experts pay attention that during pregnancy ascorbic acid easily overcomes the placental barrier. In this regard, you should not consume increased amounts of vitamin C. Also, special attention should be paid to the dosage of the drug for women during breastfeeding. During this time, ascorbic acid can often cause allergic reactions in the child.

The intake of a pharmaceutical agent for patients with chronic diseases of the urinary and cardiovascular system is agreed with the attending physician, who, if necessary, will adjust the duration and dosage of the course of therapy.

Contraindications

An absolute contraindication to taking vitamin C is that the patient has an allergic reaction to ascorbic acid. In such cases the patient has redness and itching of the skin... In more severe cases, the person suffers from edema of the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract.

According to the instructions for the drug, special care should be taken by people with diabetes mellitus, anemic conditions and urolithiasis.

The pharmaceutical agent "ascorbic acid", the benefit or harm of which directly depends on the dosage, recommended to be taken orally after meals... For children, the dosage of the drug is usually two times less than for adult patients.

Excessive doses of vitamin C

For the first time, the American scientist L. Pauling, who studied the effect of vitamins on the course of oncological diseases, mentioned the therapeutic effect of ultra-high doses of ascorbic acid. In such cases, ascorbic acid significantly improves the general well-being of a cancer patient.

If the drug is taken prophylactically, then many patients develop complications from the gastrointestinal tract. At the same time, ascorbic acid is harmful, it causes gastritis and ulcerative lesions of the gastrointestinal mucosa.

How does the drug work?

Ascorbic acid, combined with glucose, is a powerful naturally occurring antioxidant that is involved in many biochemical reactions. A water-soluble vitamin is essential for metabolic processes (regulates carbohydrate metabolism) and collagen synthesis, participates in the formation of steroid hormones and tissue regeneration. The drug has a positive effect on the content of harmful cholesterol in the blood, increases the accumulation of liver glycogen. The latter property has a beneficial effect on the detoxification function of the filter organ.

Ascorbic acid with glucose has anti-inflammatory and antihistamine properties, regulates capillary permeability.

Immunomodulating action

People with a cold are usually advised to consume as much vitamin C as possible. Ascorbic acid supports human immunity.

However, even when a person is not sick, he should not forget to take this vitamin, because it is good not only as a medicine, but also as a means of prevention.

Benefits for metabolism

Ascorbic acid plays an important role in metabolism. Thanks to it, serotonin, one of the main neurotransmitters, is formed from tryptophan. It is also involved in the synthesis of collagen and corticosteroids, the formation of cotesolamines. Ascorbic acid regulates the content of cholesterol in the body, stimulating its conversion to bile acids.

Hematopoietic function

Ascorbic acid is involved in the formation of hemoglobin. Thanks to her, the ferric iron that has entered the body is oxidized to bivalent. It is in this form that it can be used to carry oxygen.

Antioxidant action

Ascorbic acid is an antioxidant. It is able to neutralize superoxide radical, damaging cells, turning it into hydrogen peroxide, which is not dangerous for the body, in order to then safely remove it. Also, vitamin C regulates the course of redox reactions.

How to use ascorbic acid
