Read a little further... it's specifically called ascorbic acid and vitamin C.

He probably just wanted to save space within the table.

In the table there is also 'Skulachev quinone (SKQ)', so it doesn't look like he ran out of space for writing out the whole name.

It kind of gross to call ascorbic acid like that, as someone who studied chemistry I'm revolted.

This, and the fact that Ascorbic acid leads to hardening of the arteries also makes it suspect.

Many of the studies he refers to are old. There was a widely held belief in the early 1980's promoted by Linus Pauling that Vit C cured cancer.

I mean this guy is not a scientist. He's an enthusiasts aping scientific process. Look at how he talks about the "10-20% flexibility". Hypothesis assumed true, no supporting evidence. Same with his idea of being young longer. No evidence supports this, yet his comments proceed as if it's a gospel truth

First time I hear about him, but it looks like he is a scientist:

He started that part with "Here’s my perspective:", so for me it sounded more like his personal opinion/hypothesis, not a scientific consensus (and that hypothesis wasn't the topic of the article, so it's not strange for me that he gave no evidence for it there).

That makes this even worse, he should know better. I took a look at his publications and they're nuts. He's actually published claiming that covid vaccinations increase the spread of covid.

Agreed, I would have appreciated this more as a peer-reviewed meta-analysis than a blog post.
