About Collagen C™ (Now C Synergy) By Standard Process
C Synergy, formerly known as Collagen C, is a supplement to support collagen production. It contains antioxidant vitamin C to support healthy connective tissue.*

What Collagen Does
Collagen is a protein molecule made up of amino acids. It provides structural support between cells that make up the inner layers of connective tissues in our skin1. The connective tissue in the inner (middle) layer of the skin is composed of collagen and elastin fibers, which maintain the tension and elasticity of skin.2,3
Vitamin C and Skin Health
The antioxidant properties of vitamin C and its role in collagen synthesis make it a vital molecule for skin health. Vitamin C’s antioxidant activity is particularly important in the top (epidermal) layer of our skin,4 where its concentration is 425% higher than in the dermis.2 Ultraviolet light, especially UVA, is a common factor that induces skin oxidative stress.2,5 The antioxidant activity of vitamin C helps protect against UV-induced damage caused by free radicals.6
Cell culture studies have shown that addition of vitamin C might influence the ability of the skin to protect itself from water loss.4,7,8

This is a potent and wonderful product if you are wanting to get whole food vitamin C. I only recently found out that ascorbic acid is not recognized as vitamin c by the body. This product is great for skin tone and for protecting my arteries. Love it!
