How to supplement vitamin C and collagen properly?

Ask
Hello pharmacist! I want to supplement vitamin C and collagen but my working time is to sleep day and night. I work 2 weeks a day and then change shifts for 2 weeks and nights alternately like that. So I want to ask the doctor how to supplement vitamin C and collagen properly? Especially around the time I have to stay up at night.

Hello! With the question "How to supplement vitamin C and collagen properly?" Pharmacist would like to advise as follows:
For vitamin C, you should not take it too late in the evening / before going to bed, because vitamin C is highly stimulant, making it difficult to sleep. For Collagen, you should take it 30 minutes after breakfast or 30 minutes before bedtime. Drinking Collagen in the evening will be better because this is when the metabolic and skin regeneration activities take place most strongly. Based on the above information, you should consider adding it to your schedule.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards!
