Synergy
What is happening. Vitamin C Liposomal is essential for collagen synthesis. It's a required cofactor for prolyl and lysyl hydroxylase enzymes that stabilize the collagen triple helix.
Mechanism. Ascorbate is the electron donor for prolyl-4-hydroxylase and lysyl hydroxylase, which hydroxylate proline and lysine residues essential for collagen triple helix stability.
Recommendation. Always take vitamin C with collagen supplements. Without adequate C, collagen cannot properly cross-link.
