Vitamin C, molecular model
Vitamin C, molecular model. The chemical formula for vitamin C, also called ascorbic acid, is C6.H8.O6. Atoms are represented as rods and are colour-coded: carbon (blue), hydrogen (gold) and oxygen (red). Vitamin C is an essential vitamin that is found in fruit and green vegetables. It is needed for the growth and maintenance of bones, teeth, skin and blood vessels. It is also a powerful antioxidant. Deficiency in vitamin C leads to scurvy, which causes bleeding gums and anaemia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular model of Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid. The chemical formula for this vital nutrient is elegantly represented by rods in different colors: blue for carbon, gold for hydrogen, and red for oxygen. Vitamin C plays a crucial role in our diet as it can be found abundantly in fruits and green vegetables. Its significance lies in its ability to support the growth and maintenance of various essential components within our bodies such as bones, teeth, skin, and blood vessels. Beyond its structural importance, Vitamin C acts as a powerful antioxidant that helps protect our cells from damage caused by harmful free radicals. A deficiency in this vitamin can lead to scurvy - a condition characterized by bleeding gums and anemia. The scientific community recognizes the significance of this biochemical compound not only due to its dietary relevance but also because it serves as an important supplement for overall health. This stunning visual representation highlights the complexity of this molecule while emphasizing its critical role in maintaining optimal nutrition.
