L-Ascorbic acid or vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin found in various foodstuffs. Benefits of vitamin C may include protection against immune system deficiencies, cardiovascular disease, hyperpigmentation, skin protection, anti-aging, iron absorption, and red blood cell production. It is also useful in the biosynthesis of collagen, L-carnitine, and neurotransmitters.

The acid is synthesized in some plants and some animals especially except for humans, which have to consume it in their diet to prevent scurvy. In some animals able to produce L-Ascorbic acid, the acid is synthesized by enzymes in the liver.

Vitamin C protects plants from oxidative stress and mammals from various chronic diseases, such as cancers, cardiovascular diseases, aging and cataract, originated by oxidative stress. In addition, it prevents cells from damages caused by radiation.

L-ascorbic acid (L-AA) can be used as a reducing as well as a capping agent in the synthesis of well-dispersed metal nanoparticles and also in the reduction of graphene oxide sheets.
