How to Improve Strength & Flexibility of Ligaments & Tendons
Collagen is often promoted as a mean of restoring the tensile strength of skin and decreasing the accumulation of wrinkles. However, collagen is also essential to maintaining healthy joints. Collagen is one of the main contributors to the tensile strength and flexibility of ligaments and tendons.
In order to drive the production of collagen in our body, we must be sure we are getting enough vitamin C (ascorbic acid). This is because vitamin C, a water soluble vitamin, acts as a cofactor in the enzymatic reaction to produce collagen from the amino acids, proline and lysine.
As previously stated, vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin which means it easily excreted from the body through urine, the bowels, and sweating. Furthermore, vitamin C can also be lost in a lot of fruit and vegetables if cooked or prepared in water.
Based on this information, it is easy to see why it is difficult to maintain high levels of vitamin C in our bodies. The most effective and commonly practiced solution to this problem is to supplement vitamin C is capsule form. Vitamin C is also an effective antioxidant which lends hand to its ability to preserve healthy joints. Oxidative damage can occur from things such as working out, periods of extensive physical stress and even psychological stress. By supplementing vitamin C, you can ensure you have optimum levels for proper joint maintenance.
