Vitamin C and the Immune System | Roles of Vitamin C in Respiratory Infections

Vitamin C (also known as ascorbic acid) is an essential, water-soluble vitamin that is required in the human diet as it is necessary for a variety of bodily systems, including the immune system. Vitamin C has roles in the innate immune system as it is important for the maintenance and health of the epithelial barrier (skin), and it is also important for immune cell functioning. In this lesson, we discuss the roles of vitamin C in the innate and adaptive immune systems, and how supplementation is important in treatment of respiratory infections, among others.

So interesting! Thank you, again JJ.
For some reason I have a strong allergic reaction to ascorbic acid.
My teeth, bowel get inflamed and blistery.
Takes days to feel OK after.
So sad, i do love vitamon C foods. I get away with carrot, green beans etc. I think they have some vitamin C.
No doubt I am somewhat deficient.
Thanks again for your efforts.

Your presentation is highly technical. Make it in simple language

Excellent but not sure for carnitine synthethisis
"Vitamin C is not essential for carnitine biosynthesis in vivo: verification in vitamin C-depleted senescence marker protein-30/gluconolactonase knockout mice"
