3. Heart Health
Keeping your blood vessels strong is important for your overall health. Collagen is important in this process as it is what is used in order to repair any damage that the blood vessels endure. If there is not enough collagen in the body it is forced to use plaque patches to repair the blood vessels. These plaque patches are build-ups of fat within the arteries. This causes the arteries to become hardened and thus increases the risk of developing heart disease.
This means that it is very important to make sure that you get enough vitamin C as this helps the body produce collagen. When there is enough collagen in the body it will keep your blood vessels in good repair. This in return will improve the overall health of the heart as the blood vessels will be able to do their job and the heart will be better protected.
