In humans, vitamin C deficiency leads to impaired collagen synthesis, contributing to the more severe symptoms of scurvy.
Vitamin C is important for bones and connective tissues, muscles, and blood vessels. Vitamin C also helps the body absorb iron, which is needed for red blood cell production. Ascorbic acid is used to treat and prevent vitamin C deficiency.
Transform your complexion with The Ordinary 100% L-Ascorbic Acid Powder, a very fine antioxidant powder that helps to brighten the appearance of skin while addressing signs of aging
Vitamin C can appear on the ingredient label as several different names, but the one you want is L-ascorbic acid, which is the most effective.

| Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture |
Highly flammable liquid and vapor. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard.
In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst, with the
risk of a subsequent explosion. The vapor/gas is heavier than air and will spread along
the ground. Vapors may accumulate in low or confined areas or travel a considerable
distance to a source of ignition and flash back.
