3. Heart Health
It is vital to your health that your blood vessels remain strong. Collagen plays a key role in this process, as it is used to repair the damage caused by blood vessels. In the absence of enough collagen, the body is forced to use patches to repair blood vessels. These plaque patches consist of fat deposits within the arteries. The arteries become harder and this increases the risk for heart disease.
It is important that you consume enough vitamin C to help your body produce collagen. The body will maintain healthy blood vessels when there is sufficient collagen. The heart’s overall health will be improved as the blood vessel will be able do its job.
