Measures

Ascorbic acid in serum.

Why it matters

Vitamin C is required for collagen formation, iron absorption and antioxidant function. The body doesn't make it and stores little, so status reflects recent intake fairly directly.

Before you collect

Serum vitamin C moves with recent intake and supplementation. Samples are unstable and need prompt, light-protected processing — collect at a centre, early in the day.
