The Benefits of Taking Collagen & Vitamin E Together

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. It plays an important role in supporting the structure of skin, cartilage, bones, and connective tissues. Supplementing with collagen has been shown to help support a wide array of benefits including skin elasticity, hair health, and joint health.

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, made up of a series of compounds known as tocopherols and tocotrienols. Research has shown that vitamin E helps to support immune health, cardiovascular health, and neuroprotection.

As we age, our bodies' collagen production naturally declines. Daily collagen supplementation helps to support new collagen synthesis. This can also be optimized with antioxidants like vitamin E, as they help further support the body’s collagen production.

Vitamin E’s powerful antioxidant ability also helps protect structures in the body from oxidative stress. Its antioxidant properties aid in preserving the collagen fibers in the body that maintain skin, hair, nails, and connective tissues. By shielding collagen structures from oxidative damage, vitamin E helps further support the body’s ability to maintain its collagen.

Collagen is a critical component of cartilage, the tissue that cushions your joints. This helps provide strength and integrity which is essential for proper joint function. Supplementing with collagen has been shown to help support joint health, comfort, and mobility.

While collagen helps support connective tissue, Vitamin E’s antioxidant properties also help to protect bone tissues from oxidative stress. This can be beneficial for helping to maintain healthy bone density. When combined, vitamin E and collagen synergistically support joint mobility, comfort, and bone health.

Vitamin E and collagen also work together to enhance skin health. Collagen helps to maintain the structure, strength, and elasticity of the skin, while vitamin E helps to support the skin’s collagen fibers by protecting them from oxidative stress. 

Together, they not only help to support your overall skin health but also help to support the body's natural protection of the skin. You’ll likely see more benefits for your skin’s health and glow when taking both collagen and vitamin E together.

Both vitamin E and collagen also play important roles in cardiovascular health. Vitamin E in the form of alpha-tocopherol has been shown to help support healthy arteries. While mixed tocotrienol forms of vitamin E have also been shown to support healthy cholesterol levels.

Simultaneously, collagen fibers play a role in maintaining the walls of blood vessels. This structural support helps maintain the healthy function of the circulatory system. Together a vitamin E complex and collagen can help provide comprehensive support for a healthy cardiovascular system.
