VITC

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that supports immunity, collagen production, wound healing, and iron absorption. Deficiency can lead to fatigue, gum problems, poor healing, and in severe cases, scurvy. The Vitamin C test measures blood levels to ensure adequate intake and absorption.

Why Vitamin C Test Matters?

Vitamin C plays a key role in protecting cells from damage and maintaining healthy tissues. Testing helps confirm whether low levels are affecting your immune system, skin, or healing capacity.

FAQs

What does the Vitamin C test measure?

It measures the level of ascorbic acid in your blood, which reflects how much Vitamin C is available for immune function, tissue repair, and antioxidant protection. This helps identify both deficiency and excess.

Who should be tested for Vitamin C?

People with frequent infections, slow wound healing, bleeding gums, or those with diets low in fruits and vegetables should consider this test. It is also useful for individuals with alcohol dependence, smoking habits, or chronic illness.

What are signs of Vitamin C deficiency?

Deficiency may cause bleeding gums, skin problems, fatigue, joint pain, and slow recovery from wounds. In severe cases, it can lead to scurvy.

Can diet improve Vitamin C levels?

Yes, most cases of deficiency can be corrected by increasing intake of Vitamin C–rich foods such as citrus fruits, strawberries, bell peppers, and leafy greens. Supplements may be recommended if diet alone is insufficient.

Is too much Vitamin C harmful?

While Vitamin C is water-soluble, very high doses can cause digestive upset, diarrhoea, and in rare cases kidney stones. It’s best to stay within recommended limits unless advised by a doctor.
