Vitamin C is essential for collagen repair, skin elasticity, and anti-aging. Without enough of it, wrinkles form faster — especially in smokers who rapidly deplete this crucial nutrient.
Ever wonder why smokers often have more wrinkles and visible signs of aging? It’s not just the smoke — it’s the rapid depletion of vitamin C, a nutrient your body needs to repair collagen. Without enough vitamin C, collagen breaks down more quickly, leading to sagging, wrinkles, and weaker blood vessels.
In this episode of the Dr. Gundry Podcast, Dr. Gundry explains why vitamin C is non-negotiable for skin health. Acting like the “knitting needle” of collagen, vitamin C helps stitch together collagen strands, keeping your skin firm, smooth, and resilient.
Since the body doesn’t manufacture vitamin C and burns through it quickly, it’s important to get it daily — either from diet, a time-release supplement, or even by chewing a vitamin C tablet.
Discover how this simple yet powerful nutrient can protect your collagen, slow premature aging, and support long-lasting vitality.
