I’ve been diagnosed with scurvy. I was always anemic and it happened to me before that I have had bleeding gums. But this time is more serious, I have bleeding and swollen gums and I felt soreness of my joints. I went to see physician and he told me that I am suffering from scurvy. What causes scurvy? He recommended me to take vitamin C. I am 18 years old, female.

Scurvy is a vitamin C deficiency. It is serious diseases that affecting teenagers today. It is caused by a dietary lack of vitamin C, a nutrient found in many fresh fruits and vegetables. Well, particularly the citrus fruits. Ascorbic acid, which is in vitamin C, is important in the formation of collagen and any deficiency interferes with normal tissue synthesis. Take the vitamin and try to spend more time outdoor!
