    Glossary Vitamin C Deficiency

    lack of vitamin C leading to scurvy and impaired collagen synthesis

    Vitamin C Deficiency, also known as Scurvy, occurs when the body lacks sufficient vitamin C (ascorbic acid), which is essential for the synthesis of collagen, wound healing, and the maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth. Symptoms include fatigue, swollen gums, joint pain, and in severe cases, anemia and bleeding. This condition can be prevented and treated by consuming foods rich in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits, strawberries, and bell peppers, or through supplementation.
