Question

Can Quick-Coll® (Copper Lysinate/Prolinate), which contains copper, be used together with a Vitamin C serum made from L-ascorbic acid?

Answer

Regarding your question about using Quick-Coll® (Copper Lysinate/Prolinate) with a Vitamin C serum made from L-ascorbic acid:

It is generally not recommended to use copper peptides (like Copper Lysinate/Prolinate) and L-ascorbic acid at the same time or mixed together.

  • Reason: Copper ions can oxidize L-ascorbic acid, which can reduce the effectiveness of both ingredients.
  • Recommendation: To get the full benefits of both ingredients, it's best to apply them at different times of the day. For example, you could use your Vitamin C serum in the morning and the Quick-Coll® product in the evening, or use them on alternate days.

This approach helps prevent potential interactions and ensures each ingredient can work optimally.
