Today we’re going to talk about how to determine a major vitamin C deficiency just by looking at the tongue. The name of this is called scorbutic tongue. 

Scorbutic tongue is a combination of:
1. Glossitis — A condition where the tongue is inflamed and has a shiny and sometimes red appearance. 
2. Red blotches — This is very tiny micro hemorrhaging of the blood vessels. You may also notice this in other places around the body. 

Vitamin C deficiency starts off very gradually, and the more deficient you are, the more symptoms you have. You don’t really want to wait until you have all of the symptoms to do something about it. 

It could take about a month of not consuming vitamin C for symptoms to show up. Other things can cause a vitamin C deficiency by preventing the absorption of vitamin C in the body. You may be consuming vitamin C, but your body may not be absorbing it, which could create a deficiency. Sugar can especially block the absorption of vitamin C. 

Other vitamin C deficiency symptoms:
• Fatigue 
• Weakness 
• Sore arms or legs 
• Bleeding gums 
• Bone pain 
• Bruising 
• Red/purple spots 
• Loose teeth 

Great vitamin C foods to consume:
• Citrus (raw lemon juice)
• Peppers (red and green peppers) 
• Sauerkraut 
• Greens 
• Parsley 
• Cabbage
