Featured research

NIH Office of Dietary Supplements - Vitamin C fact sheet describing vitamin C’s role in collagen-related physiology.

Your body continuously maintains collagen-rich structures, including skin and connective tissues. Vitamin C is widely recognized as essential for normal collagen formation.
