Vitamin C. Vitamin C is one vitamin that helps to retain your skin's elasticity. This vitamin, also called ascorbic acid, helps to boost the production of a protein called collagen within your skin. Collagen helps to maintain your skin's strength, and provides a supportive framework around which your skin cells can grow.
Collagen is quite strong, while elastin provides the elasticity needed for flexibility. Vitamin C is one of the most important nutrients for synthesizing collagen and elastin because your body canât produce them without it. Your supplements should also contain copper because it works with vitamin C to produce elastin. Vitamin A, zinc and iron are additional nutrients needed for collagen.
