Study Helps Explain Vitamin C’s Extraordinary Power to Reverse Skin Ageing

Although topical solutions are available for dealing with wrinkles, acne and dry or oily skin, it is vital to support the skin – our body’s largest organ – from the inside. This can only be done through paying careful attention to diet and ensuring an optimum intake of the correct micronutrients.

The main component of the skin is collagen, a fibrous protein. Vitamin C, in combination with the amino acid lysine and other micronutrients, is essential for producing healthy collagen. However, collagen production is not only important for healthy skin, but also for building and maintaining healthy blood vessels, cartilage, bones, teeth, and skin. Dr. Rath’s research has revealed that collagen plays key roles in the prevention and control of cardiovascular disease and cancer.
