Synergy
What is happening. MSM provides sulfur and antioxidant support that complements vitamin C's role in collagen synthesis, and the pair is frequently combined for connective-tissue and skin support without notable adverse interaction.
Mechanism. Vitamin C is a required cofactor for collagen cross-linking and antioxidant defense, while MSM supplies sulfur used in connective tissue and adds antioxidant activity, giving complementary support to tissue repair.
Recommendation. Safe to combine. No special timing or precautions are needed at typical supplement doses.
