Daily Health Caps- Vol. Scurvy is a terrible disease resulting from Vitamin C deficiency. Scurvy results in the breakdown of tissue.
Gums become sore and bleeding, teeth loosen, and joints become swollen and painful.
As the disease progresses the old scars open up into fresh wounds and the victim becomes depressed, emaciated and finally dies. It was common for half of a ships crew to lose their lives to scurvy on trios from Europe to the New World. The discovery by James Lind that vitamin C in the form of fresh citrus fruit or concentrated juices cured scurvy saved many lives. The isolation of vitamin C by Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi paved the way for modern supplementation. Today, of course, it is not necessary to carry lemons and limes when supplementing vitamin C. Daily Spectra-Scorb Plus provides high quality concentrated vitamin C with the bioflavinoids that naturally occur with vitamin C, all in convenient tablet form.
