Vitamin C téh L-énantiomér askorbat; énantiomér sabalikna, D-énantiomér, teu boga mangpaat fisiologis anu penting. Duanana mangrupa kiral pikeun wangun molekul anu sarua. Nalika ngaréduksi, L-askorbat nu réduktor kuat téh bakal robah jadi bentuk kaoksidasi, L-dehidroaskorbat[5]. L-dehidroaskorbat lajeng bisa diréduksi balik jadi L-askorbat aktif ku énzim jeung glutation[6].

"Plasma vitamin C concentrations are maintained between 10 and 160 μM, and any excess of the vitamin is excreted by the kidney. In contrast, the vitamin is concentrated to at least 100 times the plasma level in specific tissues such as the adrenal glands, pituitary gland, thymus, retina, corpus luteum, and a variety of neuronal cell types."
