Vitamin C in Gelagen: What 20 mg Means for Skin
Gelagen lists 20 mg of vitamin C, about 22 percent of the 90 mg Daily Value if the amount is per two gummies. The body uses vitamin C to make collagen, but 20 mg is a small share of one day's need and not a reason to expect firmer skin. A piece of fruit gives more.

What does vitamin C do?
It is needed to make collagen, supports the immune system and helps the body absorb iron from plants (NIH ODS, Vitamin C). It is an antioxidant. Deficiency causes scurvy, which is rare today.
How much is 20 mg?
The Daily Value is 90 mg. A small orange gives about 70 mg and a half cup of red pepper about 95 mg (NIH ODS, Vitamin C). So the gummy's 20 mg equals a few bites of fruit. It is a modest top-up and no more.
Does it make skin firmer?
The sources say vitamin C is required for collagen formation. They do not say that adding a small amount to a diet that already has enough changes skin. We make no such claim, and neither does the product sheet beyond its captions.

See packsWhat is the safer habit?
Eat fruit and vegetables, use sun protection and do not smoke. The healthy skin habits page lists the daily choices with the best evidence. Vitamin C has an upper limit of 2,000 mg, which Gelagen is nowhere near.

FAQ01
Gelagen questions people ask
Is vitamin C in Gelagen enough?
It is about a fifth of the Daily Value, so it adds a little. Food is the main source for most people.
Can vitamin C cause side effects?
Large amounts can upset the stomach. Gelagen's amount is far below that range.
Does vitamin C replace sunscreen?
No. Sun protection is the proven daily step, and no vitamin replaces it.
Is the vitamin C in a gummy stable?
Vitamin C can fade with heat and time, so a jar kept warm may hold less than the label says. Store it cool and dry.
