Vitamin C 1. Vitamin C is a required vitamin for the synthesis of collagen‚ norepinephrine‚ and carnitine. Collagen is a crucial component in the structure of blood vessels‚ tendons‚ ligaments‚ and bone. Norepinephrine is a neurotransmitter which is critical for proper brain function. Carnitine is a small molecule that is essential for transporting fat into the mitochondria of cells to be later converted into energy.
