What is collagen and why is it recommended to be taken with vitamin c?

Everyone wants to stay young, have beautiful skin, strong bones, and elastic muscles. The special substance responsible for how long we can maintain these qualities in our bodies is collagen.

Collagen is a protein of connective tissue produced by fibroblasts, special cells in the body. Up to the age of 25, the human body independently synthesizes collagen, but by the age of 30, its production starts to decline. This can be observed through the first visual signs: wrinkles, skin dryness, and brittle hair and nails. Changes occur not only externally but also internally: bones become more fragile, joints less flexible, and muscles feel weaker. After the age of 60, collagen production decreases significantly.

Additionally, collagen fibers quickly break down due to the influence of negative factors, and their restoration occurs very slowly.

Collagen breakdown factors:

• Stress
• Poor nutrition
• Harmful UV radiation
• Smoking and alcohol
• Negative environmental impact
• Gastrointestinal diseases
• Insufficient sleep
• Lack of rest
• Excessive stress
• Low physical activity

Often, when women notice external changes, they start looking for a miraculous way to combat them and buy various cosmetic creams, serums, and masks, but this does not bring the desired effect. This happens because external skin care alone is not enough; it is necessary to support the body from the inside.

Currently, the “anti-aging” direction is gaining popularity. It is a comprehensive approach, the methods of which include both external and internal rejuvenation.

External Rejuvenation:

• Use of special cosmetic products
• Application of hardware procedures
• Non-surgical and surgical contouring of the face
• Laser therapy

Internal Rejuvenation:

• Intake of collagen supplements
• Intake of hyaluronic acid
• Intake of vitamin C

Collagen is also called the “protein of youth.” If efforts are not made to restore it, achieve a beautiful appearance, and support youthfulness, it is unlikely to succeed. Therefore, the fight against aging is better started as early as possible. The most reliable and accessible way is to include supplements of synthesized collagen in the daily diet and not forget about vitamin C.

Vitamin C is also a source of youth and longevity. Possessing antioxidant properties, it can neutralize the action of free radicals and prevent cell membrane damage. Taking vitamin C, along with collagen supplements, significantly enhances collagen absorption and helps to synthesize it faster in the body.

NFO Vitamin C is a vitamin C complex with double antioxidant action, consisting of L-ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate, and quercetin.

Thanks to the correct concentration of each substance, the action of the drug is maximally aimed at:

• Providing double antioxidant action
• Maintaining the health of teeth, hair, and bones
• Preventing collagen breakdown in the skin
• Strengthening cell membranes
• Preventing viruses from entering the body.

Dietary supplement, not a medicinal product.
