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
