Notes: L-Ascorbic acid (vitamin C; Item No. 14656) is essential for the synthesis of collagen, with deficiency resulting in scurvy.{18461} Notably, humans and other primates, guinea pigs, and certain other animals lack an enzyme necessary for vitamin C synthesis.{18461} L-Ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (AA2P) is a long-acting ascorbic acid derivative that stimulates collagen expression and formation and is used in human cell culture.{26913,26914} It may be included in media to enhance the survival of human embryonic stem cells or increase the growth and replicative lifespan of human corneal endothelial cells.{26910,26911} AA2P is also used to drive osteogenic differentiation in human adipose stem cells and in human mesenchymal stromal/stem cells.{26912,26916,26915}
