How does Vitamin C and Collagen work for you?

What is Collagen?

Collagen is the most common protein found in the body. It is present in skin, muscles, tendons, fat, and ligaments and more. It helps the pieces of our bodies to fit together, and is crucial to the strength of our bone structure. When Collagen levels are healthy, cells that contain Collagen take on a strong and youthful appearance. 

Why do we need Collagen supplements?
Our natural Collagen production declines due to age, oxidative stress, UV damage, diet, and other lifestyle factors, It’s therefore extremely important to make sure you eat enough foods that help increase Collagen levels. Taking a daily Collagen supplement is also an effective way to boost Collagen in your body.

What is Vitamin C and why is it important?

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, plays an essential role in Collagen synthesis in your body. Vitamin C helps the two enzymes prolyl hydroxylase and lysyl hydroxylase stabilize and strengthen the Collagen molecules in our body. Vitamin C stabilizes the Collagen you already have thanks to its antioxidant properties, which can help neutralize free radical damage, a main source of Collagen degradation and DNA damage. This Vitamin is also responsible for binding cells together during the creation of Collagen. Without adequate levels of Vitamin C, the body can’t form, store, absorb, or produce more Collagen.

Your body cannot make Vitamin C on its own; it must be ingested. A Vitamin C deficiency has been associated with skin conditions resulting from poor Collagen formation, including scurvy, and is associated with scaly, dry and hyperpigmented skin. A few ways to improve your Collagen levels are by consuming fruits and vegetables high in Vitamin C:like citrus fruits, blueberries, tomatoes, potatoes, red and green peppers, kiwi, broccoli, strawberries, brussels sprouts, and cantaloupe. Prolonged storage and cooking can affect Vitamin C levels so it is recommended to consume these fruits and vegetables as fresh as possible..
