WHY IS VITAMIN C IMPORTANT?

Our bodies have 35 billion skin cells and we make 200 million skin cells an hour. Research has shown the benefits that vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants can help support overall skin health. On a topical level, vitamin C is revered for its skin-saving properties with serums recommended to brighten, lighten, and smooth the complexion. 

The inherent qualities of ingested vitamin C offer notable support to our skin, and Skin Vit C is powered by a researched fusion of three ingredients: vitamin C, zinc and acerola cherry.

This synergy of nutrients simultaneously works to:

  • Brighten dull-looking skin,
  • Support normal blood vessels*,
  • Protect cells from oxidative stress**
  • Support collagen formation*.

Advanced Nutrition Programme's Head of Nutrition, Lorraine Perretta, explains the science behind this new supplement:

“For decades, vitamin C has been correctly celebrated for its multifactorial benefits to our skin and overall wellbeing. Following extensive research during the development of Skin Vit C, we decided to synergise vitamin C with the emerging nutrient profile of acerola cherry as well as zinc which has been validated by academia for years. Zinc is an essential nutrient playing a role in over 200 enzymes and now there is an increasing body of evidence demonstrating skin benefits – in fact since 2000, there has been a 130% increase in studies on zinc’s positive impact on skin. This evidence-based research and scientific foundation propelled us to include in this in our enhanced version of Skin Vit C.”

*Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin and normal function of blood vessels.
** Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin, nails and hair. Zinc protects cells from oxidative damage.
