Vitamin C's Benefits for Tissue Repair and Anti-Aging
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that must be obtained from external sources. It is involved in tissue repair and has many scientifically proven restorative and anti-aging benefits for skin and body.
Vitamin C for Collagen Stimulation and Anti-Aging
Vitamin C stimulates collagen production. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and forms a scaffold in the skin that keeps it strong and firm.
With age, the amount of collagen in the skin decreases, and this contributes to skin sagging and the formation of wrinkles.
Vitamin C as a Co-Factor for Collagen Production
Vitamin C is a co-factor for collagen production. This means, it is essential for collagen synthesis as it is required by key enzymes.
Vitamin C can also stimulate the synthesis of collagen and down-regulates the destructive enzymes that breakdown collagen. These benefits have also been studied and seen in postmenopausal women.
Vitamin C - Protection From Skin Damage
Vitamin C is also a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant molecule. This means it provides protection from skin damage from UV radiation and free radicals.
This provides powerful anti-aging effects as exposure to sunlight and damage from free radicals are responsible for the majority of the signs of photoaging seen overtime.
Vitamin C's Effectiveness Against Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation is the result of uneven distribution of skin pigment (melanin) in the skin because of inflammation (acne or wound), sun exposure, or hormonal changes.
Vitamin C Benefits for Lightening Dark Spots & Skin Tone
Vitamin C is a potent anti-pigmentation agent, and therefore, can lighten darks spots and brighten the skin tone.
Vitamin C can inhibit the activity of the enzyme tyrosinase, a key enzyme in the production of melanin.
