Vitamin C: More Than Immunity—A Key to Faster Healing
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), found in citrus fruits and beneficial for immune support, also plays a critical role in skin repair, collagen formation, and overall wound recovery.
Because Vitamin C is water-soluble and can’t be made or stored by the body in large amounts, you need a steady daily intake through foods or supplements to keep your healing systems running strong.
Why is Vitamin C in WoundWorx?
WoundWorx includes Vitamin C because it provides multiple layers of support during the healing process. From boosting collagen and tissue strength to fighting off infection and improving blood vessel growth, Vitamin C works on nearly every stage of repair. It also helps improve scar outcomes by reducing inflammation and supporting healthy tissue regeneration.
Benefits of Vitamin C in Wound Healing
• Boosts Collagen Production
Vitamin C is essential for forming new connective tissue, giving repaired skin strength, structure, and elasticity.
• Reduces Inflammation
As a powerful antioxidant, Vitamin C helps shield cells from free radical damage and reduces swelling around wounds.
• Supports Immune Defense
Vitamin C strengthens the body’s immune response, helping prevent infections that could delay recovery.
• Improves Iron Absorption
By enhancing iron uptake, Vitamin C supports oxygen delivery to damaged tissue, fueling faster repair.
• Accelerates Recovery
Vitamin C contributes at every stage of healing, helping wounds close faster and more effectively.
What are common symptoms of Vitamin C deficiency?
How does Vitamin C deficiency slow down wound healing?
Vitamin C deficiency slows wound healing because your body can’t make enough collagen without it, and collagen is the main protein that holds new skin tissue together. Without adequate vitamin C, wounds stay weak and fragile, blood vessels form poorly, and the skin can’t close or repair itself as quickly. This also increases the risk of infection and poor scar formation.
The Bottom Line
Vitamin C isn’t just an immune booster—it’s a foundational nutrient for skin repair. By promoting collagen synthesis, calming inflammation, and strengthening immune defense, Vitamin C helps wounds heal stronger and with fewer complications. That’s why WoundWorx includes it—so your body has the nutrients it needs to recover efficiently.
WoundWorx contains 500 mg of Vitamin C per serving. This amount is enough to fully support collagen production and antioxidant protection during the healing process. By meeting daily vitamin C needs, WoundWorx helps ensure your body has the resources to repair tissue effectively.
