It is a component of the electron transport chain and participates in aerobic cellular respiration generating energy in the form of ATP. Vitamin C a water-soluble micronutrient essential for humans it is a powerful antioxidant acting both directly via scavenging of Reactive Oxygen Species and indirectly through regeneration of other antioxidant systems.
