Why is vitamin C in the composition, and can I take this product if I already take vitamin C separately? — Collagen + Vitamin C Peach Powder 400 g - OstroVit

According to the composition on the product card, one daily serving contains 500 mg of vitamin C (625% of the recommended daily intake, NRV) and 8700 mg of hydrolysed bovine collagen. The manufacturer does not explain why these particular components are combined and makes no claims about the effect. General information (not a manufacturer's instruction): for vitamin C, an authorised claim exists in the EU that it contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, bones, cartilage, gums, teeth and blood vessels; the product card of this product does not contain such a claim.

If you already take vitamin C separately or in multivitamins, take into account the total amount from all sources and do not exceed the recommended daily dose. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, consult a doctor; in case of chronic diseases or the use of medicines, it is better to discuss use with a specialist (general recommendation, not a manufacturer's instruction).
