C-vimin

**C-vimin** is a brand name for a vitamin C (ascorbic acid) supplement used to prevent and treat vitamin C deficiency, including scurvy, and to support wound healing, iron absorption, and immune function. As an essential water-soluble vitamin, it functions as a cofactor in collagen biosynthesis, acts as an antioxidant to neutralize free radicals, and participates in carnitine and neurotransmitter synthesis. It is commonly available in oral forms like tablets and is well-tolerated at recommended doses, with high-dose intravenous use explored for potential benefits in oxidative stress-related conditions like cancer or infections, though evidence varies.
