Celebrity cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Anthony Youn, with an emphasis on a holistic approach to beauty, points out that vitamin C not only protects skin cells from oxidative damage but also enhances collagen production.
On a recent MindbodyGreen podcast, Dr. Youn reiterates the fact that antioxidant-rich foods (especially vitamin C-loaded oranges and bell peppers) are the main actors in the slowing down of the aging process. This article is then focused on the science behind vitamin C antioxidant activity, demonstrating how it neutralizes free radicals that generate oxidative stress and premature skin aging.
The protective aspect of vitamin C is emphasized and shows how this vitamin is irreplaceable for collagen production, which is crucial for ensuring the tightness and firmness of the skin.
As sometimes dietary sources do not cover all the requirements, Dr. Youn suggests vitamin C potency+ by mindbodygreen, 1000 mg dosage with advanced lipid and bioflavonoid technology, to be used daily for the skin to look young and radiant.
