In this video, we’re going to talk about vitamin C, and something called a subclinical vitamin C deficiency.
You may have heard of scurvy, which is a severe vitamin C deficiency. This is also called a classical vitamin C deficiency. A subclinical vitamin C deficiency means you have some vitamin C, but you don’t have the full amount.
What does vitamin C do?
• It works as an antioxidant
• It’s involved in collagen growth and repair
• It helps make noradrenaline
• It’s necessary in the function of carnitine
• Your white blood cells are saturated with vitamin C
Scurvy symptoms:
• Wounds that can’t heal
• Gingivitis
• Perifollicular hemorrhage
• Fatigue
• Red/purple blotches
Foods that are rich in vitamin C:
• Papaya (I don’t recommend)
• Kiwi (I don’t recommend)
• Bell peppers
• Greens
• Berries
• Cruciferous vegetables
Many people also take vitamin C supplements. Just be sure your supplement is not synthetic. Make sure it’s food-based. Acerola cherry is also a great source of vitamin C.
Things that can inhibit vitamin C absorption and potentially cause vitamin C deficiency signs:
• Smoking
• Pregnancy
• Age
• Overtraining
• Sugar
