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.
