Additional supplementation is needed in your daily vitamin intake for most Americans and if you’re looking to help give your body the resources it needs to help replenish and repair your collagen & cartilage, then stacking our Daily B-Complex and Connective Tissue Multi is the right start for you!
For collagen specifically, if you want to get your cartilage healthy, your bone healthy, the fascia and the tendons and the ligaments to make your bone your muscles stronger, you need the building blocks for that. So B complex vitamins are very important for nerve health for sure, but there’s also a co-enzyme that’s B dependent for DNA construction and repair. So not only do you need B vitamins to carry the iron around your body, so we’ve all heard of B deficiency anemia and to have good nerve function. So people with B12 deficiency have neuropathy, but you need it for better muscle function, protein building, and DNA construction and repair. So B complex. Vitamin C. Vitamin C is not only a massively powerful antioxidant, meaning it will capture those free unpaired electrons and keep them from damaging your tissues, but vitamin C is a vital co-actor for one of the primary enzyatic reactions in the formation of collagen. Collagen is a triple helix braided structure. But what’s keeping all of those braids from just slipping on each other and falling apart are cross links. These cross links are at strategic positions and of a strategic strength that allow movement of the collagen. Vitamin C is vital to that. But for optimal function of your connective tissue, you need even better than that obviously. So vitamin C is a supplement you should take. Zinc, it’s a mineral, but it’s a co-actor to hundreds of vital chemical reactions in your body to include those involved in cartilage repair, etc. Magnesium, another mineral, massively important for bone mineralization, also a co-actor in hundreds of reactions. Minerals are often co-actors in reactions because they can easily uh move electrons around. Just so you know, calcium very important for how the nerves talk to each other, how the brain communicates, also obviously for bone mineralization. So these are just some basic stack vitamins that should be taken to help your collagen and your cartilage repair itself. [Music]
