Charles Glen King (October 22, 1896 – January 23, 1988) was an American biochemist who was a pioneer in the field of nutrition research and who isolated vitamin C at the same time as Albert Szent-Györgyi.[1] A biography of King states that many feel he deserves equal credit with Szent-Györgyi for the discovery of this vitamin.[2]
