In this podcast, 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 Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, 51 years of age is a chiropractor who specializes in weight loss through nutritional & natural methods.
