Why Vitamin C Matters in Your Protein Water
Most protein waters on the market focus on protein content alone. But there’s a key ingredient often overlooked: Vitamin C. Without it, your body struggles to effectively use the collagen peptides found in protein water.
At Nexus, we include 80mg of Vitamin C in every serving of our Protein Water — and it’s not by accident. It’s based on science.
Vitamin C and Collagen: The Essential Link
Collagen is vital for healthy skin, joints, and connective tissue. However, your body can’t build collagen on its own — it needs the right nutrients to activate the process.
Vitamin C plays an essential role in collagen synthesis. It’s a required co-factor in the enzymatic reaction that converts pro-collagen into functional collagen fibres. Without enough Vitamin C, the process slows down, and your body can’t make the most of the collagen you consume.
That means even if you’re drinking protein water or taking collagen supplements, without Vitamin C, you’re not getting full benefit.
What Most Protein Waters Are Missing
Check the label of most protein waters and you’ll notice Vitamin C is rarely included. It’s an easy detail to miss, but it makes a big difference to product performance.
Nexus Protein Water combines hydrolysed collagen peptides with 80mg of Vitamin C in every serve. This supports effective collagen production, helping you see and feel the benefits sooner.
What This Means for Your Body
By including Vitamin C, Nexus Protein Water helps you:
Support healthy skin, hair, nails, and joints
- Maximise collagen production from every serving
- Get more from your hydration and protein routine
- It’s a small addition with a big impact.
Why We Made This Choice
Our goal at Nexus is to create products that actually work — not just look good on the label. Every ingredient serves a purpose. We include Vitamin C because the research is clear: it’s essential for proper collagen synthesis.
By choosing Nexus Protein Water, you’re choosing a product that delivers both protein and the support nutrients your body needs to use it effectively.
The Takeaway
If your protein watrer doesn’t include Vitamin C, you could be missing out on the full benefits of collagen. Nexus Protein Water is designed to give you both — so you get better support for your skin, joints, and overall performance.
