Experts representing the UK's National Health Service have named the main sign of vitamin C deficiency in the body. As reported by the Express, the condition of the skin indicates a deficiency of one of the most important elements for health.

Abrasions and bruises that do not heal for too long are an extremely alarming signal. Only a lack of vitamin C, which is necessary for the restoration of damaged tissues, can explain this situation.

Another important point is the color of the skin and its elasticity. Loose and flabby skin combined with unhealthy pallor should also be a cause for concern and a reason to visit a doctor. Combined with general fatigue, decreased immunity and bleeding gums, the most likely cause is a lack of vitamin C.
