description <p dir="ltr">Vitamin C is an important nutrient implicated in different physiological functions in humans. Despite its important biological functions, therapeutic applications of vitamin C are rare and its use is further impacted by low chemical stability. Several nano-encapsulation techniques have been described in the literature and yet, there are only a handful of clinical investigations dedicated to unlocking the therapeutic applications of nano-encapsulated vitamin C. Clearly, further investigations are warranted in order to affirm the promising clinical potential of nano-encapsulated vitamin C. In this review, we describe the mechanisms of vitamin C activity as a modulator of crucial therapeutic uses in biological systems. We look at key factors affecting the chemical stability of vitamin C alone and in nano-encapsulated and explore pre-clinical and clinical evidence on current vitamin C nano-formulations along with their therapeutic applications. Finally, we critically appraise the gaps and opportunities prevailing in nano-vitamin C research and its potential translation towards relevant clinical outcomes.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.biopha.2022.114093" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.biopha.2022.114093</a></p>
