Do you ever notice how nobody eats just a peanut butter sandwich? Where’s the jelly?
It just doesn’t work.
This is the same for collagen and Vitamin C. Our bodies need collagen to support skin health, joint support, and overall wellness, but we can’t produce it if we don’t have enough Vitamin C.
Why is that?
Today, I want to dive into the synergistic relationship between collagen and Vitamin C. I’ll show you how it works, why it’s important, and what you can do to ensure you get your recommended daily dose.
Let’s get started!
What is Collagen, and Why Do You Need It?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body. It supports your skin, bones, tendons, and connective tissues.
Think of collagen like the framework of a beautiful building—your body. Just like framing supports walls and keeps everything in place, collagen is the framework that helps support your skin’s strength, your joints’ flexibility, and your bones’ integrity.
Your body makes collagen, but we begin to lose it as we age, and the body makes less. Collagen loss starts as early as 18 years old.
When your collagen levels decline, your body can show signs of aging, like wrinkles in your skin, joint discomfort, and other common issues.
Replenishing collagen is like reinforcing the scaffolding of an aging building. That’s why when people add collagen to their diets, they may experience a reduction in wrinkles and fine lines.
How is Vitamin C Connected to Collagen Production?
Vitamin C plays a role in supporting the immune system’s function. But did you know vitamin C is also an essential co-factor in collagen biosynthesis? Vitamin C plays a role in producing pro-collagen, the body’s precursor to collagen.
Without sufficient Vitamin C, your body cannot effectively produce or maintain collagen, which can lead to weakened connective tissues and skin irregularities.
But when you do get enough Vitamin C your body can do amazing things with it and provide you with incredible benefits, such as:
Skin Health
Vitamin C’s antioxidant properties also protect from damage caused by free radicals responsible for premature aging. This makes Vitamin C not only crucial for collagen production but also for preserving the collagen you already have.
Joint and Bone Health
Collagen is a vital component of cartilage, the tissue that cushions joints. That’s why Vitamin C helps to maintain healthy joints.
To Maximize Collagen Production, Pair it With Vitamin C
As you may know, there are many ways to source collagen. Certain foods are rich in collagen (like bone broth), and you can also get it from supplements.
But again, you’ll have much better results if you pair collagen intake with Vitamin C, also found in some foods (such as citrus fruits, berries, and leafy greens) or supplements. This combination supports the body’s natural collagen production, leading to healthier skin, stronger joints, and a more youthful appearance.
And if you want to make it super easy to ensure your pairing the right amounts of collagen and Vitamin C, you can take a supplement pairing like Dynamic Joint and Dynamic Liposomal Vitamin C.
