Organic chemistry is the scientific study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and synthesis of organic compounds that by definition contain carbon. It is a specific discipline within the subject of chemistry. Organic compounds are molecules composed of carbon and hydrogen, and may contain any number of other elements. Many organic compounds contain nitrogen, oxygen, halogens, and more rarely phosphorus or sulphur. Current trends in organic chemistry are chiral synthesis, green chemistry, microwave chemistry and fullerene chemistry.
Vitamin Câs skin-health benefits are largely attributed to its benefits in supporting healthy collagen. Collagen works hand-in-hand with elastin to support the skin. Basically, it supplies the framework that provides form, firmness, and strength to the skin, while elastin is what gives skin its flexibility.
When calcium, magnesium or potassium mineral salts, known in chemistry as bases, are combined with ascorbic acid, a substance that resists changes in pH results. Therefore, buffered vitamin C helps maintain your body's pH balance, which makes it more gentle on your stomach and decreases your risk of gastrointestinal discomfort. Added Mineral Benefits Minerals such as calcium, potassium and magnesium, which are mixed with ascorbic acid to form the buffered version of vitamin C, offer their own additional health benefits.
