Vitamin C is a micronutrient or a small substance our bodies need for survival. This substance is not measured in calories. The macronutrients or large substances our bodies use -- protein, fat and carbohydrates -- are measured in calories.

Vitamins contain 0 calories per gram; they are noncaloric molecules.

A vitamin is an essential nutrient needed in tiny amounts to regulate body processes. Vitamins have no calorie value because they yield no energy. However, the body needs vitamins for the chemical reactions involved in releasing energy from other nutrients.

Vitamins and minerals do not supply any calories. Vitamins are organic compounds but they are not metabolised (broken down) as a source of energy. Minerals are simple, inorganic substances which do not supply any energy to the body.
