Szent-Györgyi, conducted a landmark experiment on guinea pigs, which, like humans, must ingest vitamin C to maintain health since it cannot be produced within their bodies. When fed to the vitamin C-deficient guinea pigs — that the acid was equivalent to vitamin C. Within several weeks Szent-Györgyi had produced three pounds of pure crystalline ascorbic acid, enough to show that when the acid was fed to the deficient guinea pigs, the acid was equivalent to Vitamin C. Therefore he had founded the existence of Ascorbic Acid]]> 2018-02-20 01:21:40 UTC https://padlet.com/wani_sapna/5n6ssipodypm/wish/233099560 wani_sapna https://padlet.com/wani_sapna/5n6ssipodypm/wish/233102071 2018-02-20 01:34:33 UTC https://padlet.com/wani_sapna/5n6ssipodypm/wish/233102071 wani_sapna https://padlet.com/wani_sapna/5n6ssipodypm/wish/233103756 2018-02-20 01:43:41 UTC https://padlet.com/wani_sapna/5n6ssipodypm/wish/233103756 wani_sapna https://padlet.com/wani_sapna/5n6ssipodypm/wish/233104096 Vitamin C found in citrus fruits and other fresh vegetables was long ago used as a prevention for scurvy and also a cure for scurvy during a epidemic in Europe. ]]> 2018-02-20 01:45:19 UTC https://padlet.com/wani_sapna/5n6ssipodypm/wish/233104096 wani_sapna https://padlet.com/wani_sapna/5n6ssipodypm/wish/233105045 2018-02-20 01:50:20 UTC https://padlet.com/wani_sapna/5n6ssipodypm/wish/233105045 wani_sapna https://padlet.com/wani_sapna/5n6ssipodypm/wish/233105354 Vitamin C is still needed by the body to form collagen nd prevent and cure scurvy.

It is not naturally produced in the human body and is comprised of a 6 carbon molecule base. Five of these carbons form a pentagonal base. Eight hydrogen and 6 oxygen atoms extend from the carbon base. The molecule is polar with an unequal distribution of charges. It dissolves well in water to give mildly acidic solutions.
