ascorbic acid
This term is the precise chemical name for vitamin C. While "vitamin C" is the common term used in general health and nutrition contexts, "ascorbic acid" is the preferred terminology in scientific, medical, and pharmaceutical settings to describe the specific molecule.
As a chemical compound, it is treated as an uncountable mass noun. It refers to the substance itself rather than individual units, meaning it does not have a plural form in standard usage.
