10 Vitamin C Deficiency Symptoms
Symptom #3: Bruising Easily
Practically everyone has experienced bruising. This happens when the tiny blood vessels under the skin rupture and cause blood inside them to fill the surrounding tissues. Bruising usually occurs as a result of a light to medium blow to the skin. However, when unexplained bruises suddenly appear on your skin, it is a sign that you may be vitamin C deficient. Bruising easily is one of the most common symptoms of vitamin C deficiency. It occurs because of poor synthesis of collagen within skin tissue.
The problem with the bruises resulting from vitamin C deficiency is that they are not localized to any particular area of skin. They may appear as small purple spots under the skin, or even affect a large area of the skin. Bruising easily is among the first symptoms of vitamin C deficiency and should be investigated as soon as noticed.
