Findings
Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) can boost collagen production and fight skin aging by reducing oxidative stress and activating collagen-building genes. The research suggests combining vitamin C with specific amino acids—especially glycine—could work even better, since collagen is one-third glycine and needs steady supplies of it to be made effectively.
