Super-nutrients

Vitamin C

It's involved in collagen production and protects cells from free-radical damage, which can cause wrinkling and discoloration.

Studies found that when lab animals ate vitamin C-fortified food, their skin was better protected against such damage.

Beta-carotene

It's converted to vitamin A, which may also help protect against sun damage.

Maintain Healthy Eyes

Vitamin E, riboflavin and niacin offer sight salvation.
