Vitamin C
Vitamin
C, also known as ascorbic acid, is probably
one of the most highly publicized, yet least
understood, of all of the vitamins. Vitamin C is
indeed a fascinating and important nutrient (or
micronutrient) necessary for human life.
Vitamin C is required for life. The nature of our
diets leads to a serious lack of this essential
nutrient. This situation may be a leading contributor
to much of the sickness and chronic disease that the
population of the earth suffers.
Why is Vitamin C important?
Vitamin C is important to all animals, including
humans, because it is vital to the production of
collagen. Vitamin C is also important because it helps
protect the fat-soluble vitamins A and E as well as
fatty acids from oxidation. Vitamin C prevents and
cures the disease scurvy, and can be beneficial in the
treatment of iron deficiency anemia.
What happens if you don't get enough vitamin C?
A deficiency of vitamin C causes the disease Scurvy.
Scurvy is rarely seen today except in alcoholics who
receive their entire calorie intake from alcohol.
Scurvy causes bleeding and inflamed gums, loose teeth,
poor wound healing (purplish spots called petechiae),
easy bruising, bumps of coiled hair on the arms and
legs, pain in the joints, muscle wasting, and many
other problems.
