Collagen and Vitamin C
Some of us may wonder what a connection between collagen and Vitamin C is, and why one is dependent on the other. Vitamin C is essential for collagen production. Lack of sufficient amounts of Vitamin C in organism block the synthesis of collagen. Vitamin C is also necessary for proper formation of collagen network and its functioning.
It is known that a human body does not produce and store vitamin C. It is obtained from the food, which is why a proper diet is a key to a healthy life. Also, Vitamin C plays a vital role in proper build of collagen triple helix. As an addition, Vitamin C has a very strong influence on the final shape and structure of collagen fibers. Consuming sufficient amount of Vitamin C aids efficient functioning of collagen in circulatory and nervous systems as well as heart, liver; especially under influence of a big stress. It also fights the aging process of the skin and body, while keeping nice, healthy look and well-being. Vitamin C can be found for example in foods such as peppers, kale, spinach, cabbage, oranges, strawberries, kiwi etc.
