When discussing healthy mobility and fluid, comfortable movement with your customers, don't neglect to mention the work of tendons, which anchor muscles to bones; and ligaments, which connect adjacent bones. These soft tissues, through time/aging, can stretch out and become brittle—like a rubber band that's been called into duty too many times.
Tendons and ligaments are comprised mostly of protein; collagen is also a key element as is the protein elastin, which lends elasticity to ligaments.
According to tendonpain.org, vitamin C plays an essential role in new collagen production (type 1 collagen synthesis) in healthy, uncompromised tendons (that is, in absence of tendinosis); but when tendinosis exists, Vitamin C can actually produce more abnormal collagen. Therefore customers with this condition should refrain from taking excess vitamin C.
