Antioxidant
Vitamin C donates hydrogen atoms to lipid radicals, removes molecular oxygen, and quenches singlet oxygen. It also interacts with other antioxidants, such as tocopherol, glutathione, and thioredoxin, and stimulates the production of antioxidant enzymes.
Enzyme cofactor
Vitamin C is involved in the formation of collagen and tissue repair by acting as a cofactor in the posttranslational formation of 4-hydroxyproline in proteins. It's also involved in tyrosine metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, lipid and protein synthesis, iron metabolism, and cellular respiration.
Neuromodulator
Vitamin C affects the synthesis and release of neurotransmitters in the brain, acting as a neuromodulator of glutamatergic, dopaminergic, adrenergic, cholinergic, and GABAergic signaling
