Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #4: Bone Pain
Vitamin C is essential for the health of the bones. Its deficiency can lead to bone weakness. This can increase the risk of pathological fractures and osteoporosis. According to several studies, vitamin C plays an essential role in the formation of bones. However, when the level of vitamin C decreases, the rate of bone loss increases.
The insidious onset of this condition makes it hard for the patient to notice specific symptoms, but bone pain is one of the most recognizable signs. It is usually mild and located in the long bones like the femur and humerus.
