8 Signs of a Vitamin C Deficiency You've Never Heard About

I'd like to share with you some really unusual symptoms that are associated with a vitamin C deficiency

Things that you probably've never heard before you may know if you're deficient of vitamin C

You're gonna get bleeding gums or you might get tired or you might have a loss of collagen that can show up in a lot of different

ways with your skin joints tendons ligaments things like that

You also probably know that people take vitamin C when they get sick because of deficiency

They can create a lower immune system. I recently did a video talking about

Vitamin C deficiencies in increasing your risk to getting bile films

Which can actually be the placking or tartar in your teeth

But I think what's even more important is to understand what

Vitamins really are what actually does a vitamin do

Many people don't really know they know it's associated with their health

But what is that vitamin doing in your body?

Vitamins are cofactors. Now, what is a cofactor?

It's something that works with 15 different enzymes without vitamins and certain minerals

These enzymes can't work now what happens when you're deficient in vitamin C is your body is gonna start

Allocating the vitamin C that you have to just the essential enzymes to keep you alive

Okay, not all of them. So this is the reason why some people have certain symptoms of a vitamin deficiency

But not others they may have a subclinical deficiency, but they don't have a major deficiency

But you do have to realize that if you completely run out of vitamin C you will die

It's a very fatal you know scurvy which is a severe vitamin C deficiency

became a really big problem

When they started to use pasteurization like for milk and giving it to babies babies would end up with scurvy

So heat does degrade vitamin C now that you have that information

Let's go through some symptoms that you probably never connected with a vitamin C deficiency number one

Hypochondria, that's right

Hypochondria is a symptom of a vitamin C deficiency which is pretty wild and I'm gonna put the references down below

So if someone's a deficient vitamin C

They can literally be kind of paranoid thinking that they have every single disease around when they really don't

That's interesting depression is another symptom of a vitamin C deficiency

This next one is called perifilicular hyper carotosis now. What is that?

Perimines around the follicle like the hair follicle and hyper carotosis is kind of like a roughened red little

Scaly skin lesion that is around the hair follicles and sometimes the hair follicle coils

Okay, that is a vitamin C deficiency. So if you have it, you should start taking vitamin C

number four anemia

We think iron be 12, but we don't really think vitamin C a vitamin C deficiency can cause anemia

dry hair

Inflamed veins as in spider veins shortness of breath

Also vitamin C is needed for the adrenals so you can have a problem with your adrenaline if you don't have enough vitamin C

Now, where do we get vitamin C? It's in fruits

Investibles, right now there is some vitamin C in beef liver, but it's only like 27 milligrams per

100 grams of liver. Okay, that's not too much

The RDAs are the requirements that our body needs is roughly about 70 milligrams. This is 27

Steak has some vitamin C, but it's 25 micrograms, right? Not milligrams

Just a tiny bit

But mainly if you eat berries, peppers, sourcrap has the most is like 10 times more than anything else

Or if you greens you're gonna get your vitamin C. However, if you get

Hundred percent apple juice, right? It says right here. It's high in vitamin C

It says in the back of label if you drink one cup

You'll get a hundred percent of the RDAs for vitamin C

Well, could this be true? Well, let's take a look

All right, so we have a large apple in one cup of apple juice

Which comes out to two hundred and thirty seven milliliters, okay?

If we take a look at the sugar and we compare it we have one two three four five six teaspoons a

Sugar and one apple and we have one two three four five six seven teaspoons of

Sugar in one cup of apple juice the thing to know about is

This thing right here. This is one teaspoon of sugar

This is how much sugar that we're supposed to have in all of our blood at any given time

One teaspoon of sugar. That's in our entire system all of our blood, right?

The amount of sugar that an average person consumes

Well, I'm not going to even get into it because it's just way way too much

So if we were to chop this apple up, you know, it'd be roughly like one cup

And so what I want to show you is the amount of sugar in one apple is

It's almost the same amount of sugar in one cup of apple juice

However, the effect on your hormones from eating an apple versus juice is

Dressically different when you're consuming juice without the fiber

You're going to get a big spike in blood sugars and you're going to get a rebound effect of insulin coming in

To push that blood sugar down, which is going to make you hungry and a little tired

About 30 minutes after drinking this juice versus an apple

Which has a good amount of sugar, but it also has the fiber which buffers this blood sugar response

So fiber kind of dampens out the spike in blood sugars

There's actually two things that will lower this blood sugar insulin response one is fiber and the other is

Fat so if you were going to have the choice of consuming these two

Of course, this would be better and if you added fat with this as in maybe some nut butter on your apple

You would buffer the insulin response even more and of course, I'm not recommending this because there's still a lot of sugar in here

But if you were to have the choice

This would be a much better choice and of course adding an up butter would even be a better choice now

It's interesting about this apple juice

It says a hundred percent apple juice not from concentrated, okay, but if you look really close right here

It's hard to make this out with this says it says with added ingredients. What are the other ingredients?

Well, it says apple juice and a squabic acid a squabic acid. Why are they putting a squabic acid in there?

Well, the answer lies in the expiration date. It says September

23

2024 it's

2022 right now. It's November

2024 so this is going to expire in like two years

How can this sit on the shelf without being refrigerated for another two years?

Well, because it's pasteurized, okay, that's heated one thing that is interesting to know about vitamin C

It is very sensitive to light and heat

Okay, as in pasteurization even at temperatures at 86 degrees Fahrenheit

You start to break down vitamin C

The temperatures they use to pasteurize this juice is like a hundred eighty five degrees Fahrenheit

So as you can see they destroy the vitamin C in apple juice and they have to add it back in there

So that way on the label they can say it's high in vitamin C

The only problem is the source of vitamin C they're using doesn't come from natural apples

It comes from cornstarts and sulfuric acid. It's made synthetically. It's either the normal vitamin C complex

It's basically a synthesized version at a part of vitamin C
