What is Vitamin C?
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in tissue repair, the synthesis of neurotransmitters, and acts as an antioxidant in the body. It is a water-soluble vitamin that cannot be produced by the human body and must therefore be obtained through diet or supplements.
Why test/check Vitamin C levels?
Measuring vitamin C levels in the blood can be useful to identify a deficiency, which can lead to various health problems, including impaired wound healing, fatigue, and in severe cases, scurvy. It is also useful for individuals who want to optimize their diet for better health and wellbeing.
What does it indicate?
The amount of vitamin C in the blood indicates whether there is sufficient vitamin C present in the body for normal bodily functions and to support the immune system.
What does a high Vitamin C level mean?
A high level of vitamin C in the blood usually indicates an adequate or optimal intake of this vitamin, which is beneficial for overall health and wellbeing. It can also indicate recent consumption of vitamin C-rich foods or supplements.
What does a low Vitamin C level mean?
A low level of vitamin C may indicate a deficiency, which can lead to fatigue, malaise, and in severe cases, scurvy. It is a sign that the intake of vitamin C through diet or supplements should be increased.
