How they work
Vitamin C is a cofactor for prolyl and lysyl hydroxylase, enzymes essential for collagen synthesis. It also neutralises free radicals.
Zinc is a cofactor for over 300 enzymes and plays roles in immune cell development, antioxidant defence, and protein synthesis.
No known interactions between Vitamin C and Zinc. Many people take both as part of their supplement stack. As always, consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.
