Here is how it works!
Collagen is the "protein" that gives skin its structure, suppleness, and stretch. Unfortunately every year that goes by we lose collagen and that's when the skin starts to wrinkle and sag.
There is Hope! Vitamin C to the rescue!
Vitamin C not only improves collagen, but it also helps in producing it. 70% of all protein found in your skin is collagen. Collagen is responsible for maintaining the elasticity of your skin, keeping it looking young and fresh.
That's Not All!...
When vitamin C enters the body, it stimulates the immune system by enhancing the strength and protective qualities of cells and organisms.
Are You Aware That Your Body Doesn't Produce Vitamin C!
This antioxidant isn’t naturally made by the body, so it’s crucial to obtain it from vitamin C–rich foods, according to the Mayo Clinic. “Vitamin C can be found in a variety of foods, including red and green bell peppers, citrus fruits, kiwi, broccoli, tomatoes, and Brussels sprouts,” says Tamar Samuels, RDN, a cofounder of Culina Health in New York City.
In a review published in November 2017 in Nutrients, vitamin C was found to support the immune system by protecting against oxidative stress, aiding in microbial killing, and decreasing the potential for tissue damage.- Everyday Health
