“Results The total efficacy (RR = 1.27, 95% CI (1.08, 1.48), P = 0.003), the time … = −15.84, 95% CI (-17.02, -14.66), P < 0.00001), and the time for healing I , 95% CI (-14.98, -4.….0005) were better with vitamin C supplementation than … alone.”
“This was particularly noticeable in two recent reviews in which it was stated, “it is as difficult unreservedly to accept the, theoretical basis … reduce both the frequency and severity of colds, as it is to adduce convincing experimental evidence in its favour,”1 and I would … prescribe vitamin C ….”

“Subsequently, I2 was introduced and further reduced to I- in the presence of ascorbic acid , triggering the fluorescence quenching of AgNCs dispersed in isopropanol (IPA) buffer.”
“Gel electrophoresis and fluorography revealed that ascorbic acid caused a 2.6- to 4.9-fold increase in production of alpha 1 ( I ) and alpha 2(I) collagen chains by trabecular meshwork cells.”
“Separate use of sodium selenate enhanced I accumulation by 2.64 times, while biofortification with I increased the Se content in plant leaves by 4.3 times; this phenomenon was also associated with significant increase of total soluble solids and ascorbic acid content in leaves.”

“ Ascorbic acid in the presence of a catalytic amount of iodine reduces arsenic acid in methanol giving the arsenious acid bound to the 2-methyl hemi-ketal of dehydroascorbic acid, 5, in 1:1 and in a more stable 2:1 5/As(III) molar ratio.”

“Addition of ascorbic acid added to the reaction mixture produces the Landolt effect, i.e., the iodine produced by the indicator reaction is reduced immediately by the ascorbic add.”
“ALTHOUGH it has been known for some time that adrenochrome I ) is reduced by ascorbic acid , the mechan ism of the reduction and the manner by which the various products are formed are not fully understood1–6.”
