Biology of E 300:
E 300 is an essential nutrient for certain animals including humans.
The term E 300 encompasses several vitamers that have vitamin C activity in animals.

Ascorbate salts such as sodium ascorbate and calcium ascorbate are used in some dietary supplements.
These release ascorbate upon digestion.

Ascorbate and ascorbic acid are both naturally present in the body, since the forms interconvert according to pH.
Oxidized forms of the molecule such as dehydroascorbic acid are converted back to ascorbic acid by reducing agents.

USES:
E 300 has a definitive role in treating scurvy, which is a disease caused by vitamin C deficiency.
E 300 reduces the duration of colds, but this was not replicated in the few therapeutic trials that have been carried out

E 300 distributes readily in high concentrations into immune cells, has antimicrobial and natural killer cell activities, promotes lymphocyte proliferation, and is consumed quickly during infections, effects indicating a prominent role in immune system regulation
E 300 (ascorbic acid) is a nutrient your body needs to form blood vessels, cartilage, muscle and collagen in bones.

E 300 is also vital to your body's healing process.
E 300 is an antioxidant that helps protect your cells against the effects of free radicals — molecules produced when your body breaks down food or is exposed to tobacco smoke and radiation from the sun, X-rays or other sources.

Because your body doesn't produce vitamin C, you need to get E 300 from your diet.
E 300 is found in citrus fruits, berries, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli and spinach.
E 300 is also available as an oral supplement, typically in the form of capsules and chewable tablets.

E 300 is a natural water-soluble vitamin (Vitamin C).
E 300 found in citrus and other fruits, and in vegetables, vitamin C cannot be produced or stored by humans and must be obtained in the diet.

E 300 is a natural water-soluble vitamin (Vitamin C).
E 300 is a potent reducing and antioxidant agent that functions in fighting bacterial infections, in detoxifying reactions, and in the formation of collagen in fibrous tissue, teeth, bones, connective tissue, skin, and capillaries.

E 300 is a white to very pale yellow crystalline powder with a pleasant sharp acidic taste.
E 300 is almost odorless.
E 300 is the L-enantiomer of ascorbic acid and conjugate acid of L-ascorbate.

E 300 has a role as:
-a coenzyme

-a flour treatment agent

-a food antioxidant

-a plant metabolite

-a cofactor

-a skin lightening agent

-a geroprotector

E 300 is an ascorbic acid and a vitamin C.
E 300 is a conjugate acid of a L-ascorbate.

E 300 is an enantiomer of a D-ascorbic acid.
E 300, also known as L-ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in some foods, added to others, and available as a dietary supplement.

Humans, unlike most animals, are unable to synthesize E 300 endogenously
So E 300 is an essential dietary component

E 300 is required for the biosynthesis of collagen, L-carnitine, and certain neurotransmitters
E 300 is also involved in protein metabolism

Sources of E 300:
Food:
Fruits and vegetables are the best sources of E 300.

Citrus fruits, tomatoes and tomato juice, and potatoes are major contributors of E 300 to the American diet.
Other good food sources include red and green peppers, kiwifruit, broccoli, strawberries, Brussels sprouts, and cantaloupe.

Although E 300 is not naturally present in grains, it is added to some fortified breakfast cereals.
The E 300 content of food may be reduced by prolonged storage and by cooking because ascorbic acid is water soluble and is destroyed by heat.

Steaming or microwaving may lessen cooking losses.
Fortunately, many of the best food sources of E 300, such as fruits and vegetables, are usually consumed raw.
Consuming five varied servings of fruits and vegetables a day can provide more than 200 mg of E 300.

E 300 is a powerful reducing agent that participates in several important hydroxylation reactions
E 300 (ascorbic acid) can augment a number of biochemical reduction reactions involving iron and copper and acts as an enzymatic cofactor and antioxidant in physiologically important processes including fatty acid transport, collagen synthesis, and neurotransmitter formation.

Ascorbic acid, also known as E 300, is found in citrus fruits, blackcurrants, red peppers, and leafy green vegetables.
E 300 functions as an antioxidant and has the additional ability to stimulate fibroblasts to generate collagen because collagen production requires the presence of ascorbic acid.

E 300 is an over the counter and prescription medicine used to treat the symptoms of Ascorbic Acid Deficiency (Scurvy), Urinary Acidification and as a nutritional supplement.
E 300 may be used alone or with other medications.
E 300 belongs to a class of drugs called Vitamins, Water-Soluble.
