Vitamin C plays an important role in many physiological processes in humans. It is needed for the repair of tissues in all parts of the body. The important functions of vitamin C include the formation of protein used to make skin, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels for healing wounds and forming scar tissue, for repairing and maintaining cartilage, bones, and teeth and aid in the absorption of iron. It can also act as a reducing and capping agent for metal nanoparticles.

Deficiency of vitamin C causes scurvy, widespread connective tissue weakness and capillary fragility.
