The History and Discovery of Vitamin C

In the 1930’s Albert Szent-Györgyi discovered Ascorbic Acid, also known as Vitamin C that can increase immune health and enable efficient use of carbohydrates, fats, and protein. His discovery led to the start of modern nutrition.

Centuries ago, sailors experienced the conditions of swollen and bleeding gums, loose teeth, hemorrhaging under the skin and slowed healing of wounds. This is because they do not have access to fruits or vegetables for long periods of time. As there is no proper healthcare available on board, death quickly followed. This life-threatening condition is known as scurvy, which is the deficiency of Vitamin C in the body.

Scottish physician James Lind who is a very experience naval surgeon realized the importance of citrus fruits and lemon juice in the sailor’s diet. His advocacy was later put to practice by 1975 when lime juice was given to all naval vessel and eventually scurvy was eliminated from the entire British fleet.

Years later, Albert Szent-Gyorgi whose comprehensive work on the discovery of Vitamin C was recognized with a Nobel Price. Vitamin C then was known as the substance that is responsible for maintaining the body’s connective tissue.

Vitamin C also known as Ascorbic Acid. Ascorbic comes from the word anti scurvy. Although scurvy is no longer widespread, Vitamin C now becomes more popular for its potent antioxidant functions.

BENEFITS OF TAKING VITAMIN C

Vitamin C is needed for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. It is used to:

  • Form an important protein used to make skin, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels
  • Heal wounds and form scar tissue
  • Repair and maintain cartilage, bones, and teeth
  • Aid in the absorption of iron

Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant. Antioxidants are nutrients that block some of the damage caused by free radicals:

  • Free radicals are made when your body breaks down food or when you are exposed to tobacco smoke or radiation.
  • The build-up of free radicals over time is largely responsible for the aging process.
  • Free radicals may play a role in cancer, heart disease, and conditions like arthritis.

Vitamin C can boost our immune system by stimulating the production of white blood cell lymphocytes and phagocytes, which help protect the body against infections. It also helps the white blood cells to function more effectively and protects them from damage.

DID YOU KNOW?

A retrospective analysis conducted in two tertiary hospitals in Malaysia on the Effects of High Dose of Vitamin C Supplementation on critically ill COVID-19 patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The analysis showed that high dose vitamin C as an adjunct in the therapy armamentarium results in improved respiratory function and clinical outcomes for these COVID-19 patients. Vitamin C levels in the body may deplete with infection and high doses are needed to replenish the stores as well as provide extra protection in the face of such high stress to body systems.
