There are likely to be effects of ascorbic acid on blood coagulation hence studies to see this shall be carried ...





... showed tp enhance in the absence of ascorbate in plasma. (Parkkinen et al., 1996)
The results obtained by Parkinen (1996) futher highlights ascorbic acids antioxidant properties in this case against photooxidation in plasma, and showed its effectiveness in preventing oxidative damage to coagulation factors.

Based on the research taken place and after a better understanding of the properties of ascorbic acid I am confident in saying that ascorbic acid offers protection from oxidative stress and in turn prevents blood coagulation from occurring when caused by stress.
