7. Tropical fruits
Rounding out the list of fruits rich in vitamin C are tropical fruits like mango, kiwi, pineapple, and guava. Guava also boasts a small amount of zinc, another co-factor for collagen production.
8. Garlic
Garlic may add more than just flavor to your stir-fries and pasta dishes. It could boost your collagen production, too. According to Gabriel, “Garlic is high in sulfur, which is a trace mineral that helps synthesize and prevent the breakdown of collagen.”
It’s important to note, however, that how much you consume matters. “You probably need a lot of it to reap the collagen benefits,” she adds.
But with its many benefits, it’s worth considering garlic part of your regular diet. As they say online: If you love garlic, take the measurement in a recipe and double it.
