Abstract

The structural aspects as well as the functions of the vitamin C are exposed. Nutritional recommendations based on the requirements and factors that influence them are given taking into account the different population groups and the physiological conditions of the individual. More conventional food sources are cited to satisfy the nutritional requirements as well as the most common agents that cause the loss of this vitamin. Demonstrations of the deficiency status and the techniques used in the analytical determinations of this vitamin are analyzed.
