Foundational review on vitamin C and collagen formation

Study

Pinnell (1985) — Foundational review of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and collagen biosynthesis.

What the review covers

The paper describes biochemical steps involved in collagen biosynthesis and the role of vitamin C in supporting enzymes required for collagen formation and stability.

Findings

Vitamin C is a key factor in normal collagen formation and supports enzymatic processes used to create stable collagen structures.

Relevance to Magic You

All three Magic You formulas pair hydrolyzed collagen peptides with vitamin C. Ten+beauty and ten+move contain 80 mg vitamin C per bottle; 24K Ultimate contains 200 mg.
