Ascorbic acid is essential for :
Collagen synthesis
Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is a cofactor for the enzymes prolyl hydroxylase and lysyl hydroxylase.
These enzymes hydroxylate proline and lysine residues in procollagen, which is necessary for forming the stable triple helix and cross-links of collagen in skin, blood vessels, bones and gums.
Lack of vitamin C therefore leads to scurvy, with bleeding gums, poor wound healing and fragile capillaries, all caused by defective collagen.
Cholesterol synthesis depends on HMG-CoA reductase, and DNA and purine synthesis rely mainly on folate and vitamin B12, not on ascorbic acid.
Hence, Collagen synthesis.
