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.
