History of Vitamin C: From Conquering the “Marine Sinister” to the Nobel Prize

National Demonstration Center for Experimental Chemistry Education(Nanjing University), Nanjing 210023, P. R. China

Received Date: 3 June 2019

This paper reviews the course of understanding vitamin C. From the "sea god" that sailors first encountered to the scurvy that caused the British Navy to suffer, understanding vitamin C is improved little by little. Until modern times, with the guidance of advanced theory and the rapid development of chemical research, human beings finally got to known vitamin C and conquered scurvy. This marks the arrival of a new era.
- Vitamin C,
- Nobel Prize,
- Scurvy
