Below are 5 types of vegetables and fruits rich in nutrients that help the body supplement collagen.

Red bell pepper

Red bell peppers are rich in vitamin C, a nutrient needed for collagen synthesis. According to research from the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, vitamin C activates the enzyme prolyl hydroxylase, which helps stabilize collagen structure in the body.

Red bell peppers also contain capsaicin, which helps improve blood circulation, enhance skin tissue regeneration and reduce signs of aging.

Tomato

Tomatoes contain high levels of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that protects collagen from free radical damage. Research from the British Journal of Dermatology shows that lycopene can prevent collagen degradation caused by UV rays.

Vitamin C in tomatoes also effectively supports collagen production, helping to firm and smooth skin.

Spinach

Spinach is a rich source of vitamins A, C and E, along with zinc and iron – nutrients needed for collagen synthesis and protection.

According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), spinach contains lutein and zeaxanthin, which help protect skin from sun damage and promote collagen production.

Using spinach in daily meals is not only good for the skin but also supports bone and joint health.

Avocado

Avocado is a fruit rich in vitamin E, healthy fats and essential fatty acids, which help protect and enhance collagen regeneration.

Vitamin E protects the skin from oxidative damage, thereby reducing the breakdown of collagen. The fatty acids in avocados also help improve skin elasticity and retain natural moisture.

Carrot

Carrots contain beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, which plays an important role in stimulating collagen production.

According to the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, vitamin A not only helps protect the skin from environmental damage but also helps restore damaged skin tissue.

Adding carrots to your daily diet helps improve skin and reduce wrinkles.
