What is Ascorbic acid commonly referred to as?

  1. Vitamin B

  2. Vitamin D

  3. Vitamin C

  4. Vitamin E

The correct answer is: Vitamin C

Ascorbic acid is commonly referred to as Vitamin C. It is an essential nutrient for the human body, known for its role in supporting the immune system, collagen synthesis, and acting as an antioxidant to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Vitamin C is found in various fruits and vegetables, such as oranges, strawberries, and bell peppers. The other options refer to different vitamins: Vitamin B complex consists of several B vitamins that play vital roles in metabolism and energy production. Vitamin D is important for bone health and calcium absorption, while Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant and supports skin health. However, these do not correlate with ascorbic acid, which is specifically identified as Vitamin C.
