Hello again. This is Dr. Yuki from BIANCA.

Everyday I take supplements including Vitamin B and, C which I talk about today.
Let’s delve into the myriad ways Vitamin C can enhance your skin!
The Skin Savior: Glowing from the Inside Out
One of the most celebrated benefits of Vitamin C is its incredible impact on the skin. This vitamin is a potent antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals, which can damage skin cells and accelerate aging.
- Collagen Production: Vitamin C plays a crucial role in collagen synthesis, a protein that keeps your skin firm, plump, and youthful. By boosting collagen production, Vitamin C helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving your skin a smoother, more youthful appearance.
- Brightening Effect: If you struggle with dark spots or uneven skin tone, Vitamin C is your ally. It helps to inhibit melanin production, which can reduce hyperpigmentation and brighten your complexion, revealing a more radiant and even skin tone.
- Hydration Boost: Vitamin C also aids in retaining moisture, ensuring your skin stays hydrated and healthy. Hydrated skin is happy skin, less prone to irritation and fine lines.
How Much Vitamin C Should I Take? 3000mg/day!!
In BIANCA, we suggest you take as much as 3000mg/day of vitamin C, even though RDA(recommended daily allowance) is much lower. Emerging research and health experts suggest higher dose can provide significant benefits.
BUT, Do Not Take It All At Once!
Vitamin C is highly soluble in water, which means it dissolves quickly and your body doesn’t store it. In order to optimize your intake,
- small, frequent doses, instead of taking a large amount of Vitamin C all at once.
- Vitamin C water , sip it throughout the day
