&lt;div&gt;==Introduction==&lt;br /&gt;
The earliest story about Vitamin C happened in the seventheenth century. James Lind who was a ships surgeon in the British Royal Navy attempted to give scientific basis for the cause of scurvy. His test was conducted at sea in May 1747 and involved two groups of men. One group was provded with lemon juice in addition to their normal ration while the other was not. The results of the tests conclusively showed that lemons (in fact, the vitamin) prevented the disease.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which is the most famous in all vitamins was the first vitamin to be discovered (1928), the first to be structurally characterized (1933), and the first to be synthesized in the laboratory (1933). It is essential in wound healing and in the formation of collagen, a protein important in the formation of healthy skin, tendos, bones, and supportive tissues. However, humans do not have the ability to make our own vitamin C and therefore the only way by which we can obtain vitamin C is through our diet.&lt;br /&gt;

The earliest story about Vitamin C happened in the seventheenth century. James Lind who was a ships surgeon in the British Royal Navy attempted to give scientific basis for the cause of scurvy. His test was conducted at sea in May 1747 and involved two groups of men. One group was provded with lemon juice in addition to their normal ration while the other was not. The results of the tests conclusively showed that lemons (in fact, the vitamin) prevented the disease.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which is the most famous in all vitamins was the first vitamin to be discovered (1928), the first to be structurally characterized (1933), and the first to be synthesized in the laboratory (1933). It is essential in wound healing and in the formation of collagen, a protein important in the formation of healthy skin, tendos, bones, and supportive tissues. However, humans do not have the ability to make our own vitamin C and therefore the only way by which we can obtain vitamin C is through our diet.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Introduction==&lt;br /&gt;
The earliest story about Vitamin C happened in the seventheenth century. James Lind who was a ships surgeon in the British Royal Navy attempted to give scientific basis for the cause of scurvy. His test was conducted at sea in May 1747 and involved two groups of men. One group was provded with lemon juice in addition to their normal ration while the other was not. The results of the tests conclusively showed that lemons (in fact, the vitamin) prevented the disease.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which is the most famous in all vitamins was the first vitamin to be discovered (1928), the first to be structurally characterized (1933), and the first to be synthesized in the laboratory (1933). It is essential in wound healing and in the formation of collagen, a protein important in the formation of healthy skin, tendos, bones, and supportive tissues. However, humans do not have the ability to make our own vitamin C and therefore the only way by which we can obtain vitamin C is through our diet.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Introduction==&lt;br /&gt;
The earliest story about Vitamin C happened in the seventheenth century. James Lind who was a ships surgeon in the British Royal Navy attempted to give scientific basis for the cause of scurvy. His test was conducted at sea in May 1747 and involved two groups of men. One group was provded with lemon juice in addition to their normal ration while the other was not. The results of the tests conclusively showed that lemons (in fact, the vitamin) prevented the disease.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which is the most famous in all vitamins was the first vitamin to be discovered (1928), the first to be structurally characterized (1933), and the first to be synthesized in the laboratory (1933). It is essential in wound healing and in the formation of collagen, a protein important in the formation of healthy skin, tendos, bones, and supportive tissues. However, humans do not have the ability to make our own vitamin C and therefore the only way by which we can obtain vitamin C is through our diet.&lt;br /&gt;

==Use of vitamin C==&lt;br /&gt;
 •Antiscorbutic properties&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
-It prevents the onset of scurvy, a bleeding disease affecting those with a deficiency of fresh vegetables and citrus fruits in their diet.&lt;br /&gt;
 •Reductant in photographic developer solutions and as a preservative.&lt;br /&gt;
 •Ascorbic acid and its sodium, potassium, and calcium salts are commonly used as antioxidant food additives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other possible uses of vitamin C (lacking scientific proofs)&lt;br /&gt;
 •Prevent the common cold&lt;br /&gt;
 •Prevent the cure infertility&lt;br /&gt;
 •Inhibit the development of gastric and cancers.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

This takes you to an &#039;&#039;&#039;Export&#039;&#039;&#039; page. A backup of the Projects area can be made (in XML) if you want to keep your own &#039;&#039;snapshot&#039;&#039; of the project pages at any instant. After you Export the page you want (ie &#039;&#039;&#039;It:projects&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;It:Lignocaine&#039;&#039;&#039; for example) the XML encoding of it will appear in your browser Window. You should &#039;&#039;&#039;view source&#039;&#039;&#039; for this material, copy it to a text editor, and thence save it to disk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Overlaps ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If someone else  starts editing a page at the same time as you,   the system will detect this and offer alternatives for you to deal with.  For example, it may suggest you copy the contents of the page you have been editing and merge it into the other person&#039;s page,&lt;br /&gt;
so that both the sets of edits are preserved.  Read the on-screen instructions carefully!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another precaution you could take is to keep a copy of the contents of the page you are editing in eg Wordpad (or Word),&lt;br /&gt;
make the changes there, and then copy the entire lot to the  Wiki page to preview and then save. That way, if your contribution&lt;br /&gt;
is overlapped by someone else, you will still have a copy, and you can then resubmit it.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Template:DOI]] and [[Template:Doi-inline]] are providea as (protected) templates for your use.  Many other templates exist, often to be found on e.g. Wikipedia pages.  You may decide one of these is of particular use, or of interest.  If so, you can install it on the wiki here for you and others to use.  Add below a line that looks like  {{template-name|parameter}}, save, and click on the red text to create the new template. If you prefer the task of adding useful templates to that of adding information about molecules, then you will be given full credit for performing this valuable service for others!&lt;br /&gt;
