The Vitamin That Makes You Look 10 Years Younger

What vitamin makes you look younger and also helps your teeth and gums?

Have you guessed it yet?

The top anti-aging vitamin that’s also good for your teeth and gums is…drum roll please…

Vitamin C, of course! 

Vitamin C is, without a doubt, one of the top anti-aging vitamins available. Most of us are aware of this vitamin’s amazing immune-boosting benefits, but what’s the deal when it comes to making your complexion look so absolutely fabulous?

Doubling up as a powerful antioxidant and an essential water-soluble vitamin, vitamin C’s health benefits are endless. But when it comes to beauty, vitamin C’s youth-enhancing appeal lies in its ability to synthesize collagen – a basic protein responsible for the health of our joints, skin, muscles, and connective tissues. 

Collagen is known all over the health and beauty world for its ability to strengthen, repair, and hydrate the skin, giving it that famous “bounce” that people are so fond of. As we age, our skin dries out and loses its elasticity, thus, becoming more prone to wrinkles and sagging skin. 

While aging is inevitable, daily use of vitamin C helps to boost collagen production, helping to slow down signs of aging. Using it topically (in the form of a serum) also has the benefit of directly penetrating skin cells, helping to boost collagen and elastin, to give you a firmer and more youthful complexion. The use of topical vitamin C also has a positive effect on the reduction of hyperpigmentation and issues related to sun damage.

As a potent antioxidant, vitamin C literally binds and removes free radicals from the skin helping to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as brightening and evening out skin tone.

One study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that those who consumed a higher amount of vitamin C had a decrease in the appearance of wrinkles and aging skin.

Vitamin C for teeth and gums!

Vitamin C is, arguably, the most essential vitamin for healthy gums. This is why people who are vitamin C deficient will be at a higher risk of developing gum disease.

Being the fantastic immune booster that it is, vitamin C helps the lining of the gums stay healthy. And we need our gums to stay healthy as it is within the gums that the immune system fights to eradicate any harmful bacteria that unavoidably enter our mouth and begin to penetrate the gum lining. Healthy gums help isolate harmful bacteria from the roots of the teeth. Our gums are pretty amazing really, aren’t they?

Vitamin C is absolutely crucial for cell growth and repair of tissue. As we mentioned, vitamin C is essential for the production of collagen, which means it can help strengthen and repair the connective tissue, including the gums and periodontal ligaments.
