Vitamin C Deficiency!

Most adults do not get an adequate amount of vitamin C in their diets. Where this deficiency can be linked to scurvy and other such ailments it is important to increase your vitamin C intake especially during the winter months.

Vitamin C also supports the body's normal response to inflammation as well as supporting cardiovascular health, cellular health, prenatal health, eye and skin health and especially immune system health.

How much vitamin C should you get? Studies suggest that 300-500 milligrams of vitamin C daily is the right amount. However, the RDA suggests only 60 milligrams. So unless you eat plenty of fruits and veggies to get all of your daily servings of vitamins you should consider talking to your doctor about increasing your vitamin C intake.

Cheers to better health.
