Summary:
1. Weight Gain
Do you find that you’re gaining weight even though there have been no changes to the number of calories you consume or the exercise that you get? Vitamin C supports your body’s metabolism. A deficiency in this nutrient can, in turn, slow down your metabolism and potentially cause weight gain.
2. Dry, Damaged Skin
Healthy skin contains large amounts of vitamin C, especially in the epidermis, or outer layer of skin. Vitamin C keeps skin healthy by protecting it from oxidative damage caused by the sun and exposure to pollutants like cigarette smoke or the ozone. It also promotes collagen production, which keeps skin looking plump and youthful.
3. Weak immunity
Vitamin C deficiency is concerned with frequent cold and coughs, along with weak immunity. Although cold and cough is a common disease but they can lead to pneumonia and other respiratory diseases if vitamin c is found deficient. Since vitamin C has a great impact on your immune system, so deficiency could leave you with frequent infections. Consequently, the concentration of vitamin C in immune cells become weak with age, so aging is one of the major factors behind lowering of vitamin C levels.
4. Corkscrew-Shaped Body Hair
Vitamin C deficiency can also cause hair to grow in bent or coiled shapes due to defects that develop in the protein structure of hair as it grows. Corkscrew-shaped hair is one of the hallmark signs of vitamin C deficiency but may not be obvious, as these damaged hairs are more likely to break off or fall out. Hair abnormalities often resolve within one month of treatment with adequate amounts of vitamin C.
