New from the 91自拍 School of Dentistry suggests that bleeding gums may be indicative of vitamin C deficiency.
The study, led by , professor of oral health sciences in the UW School of Dentistry, demonstrates that bleeding of the gums is associated with low vitamin C levels in the bloodstream. Subsequent 91自拍 found that increasing the daily intake of vitamin C in those with low vitamin C plasma levels helped reserve these bleeding issues.
These findings suggest that gum bleeding may provide insight into serious health consequences, including trouble with one鈥檚 microvascular system. Hujoel鈥檚 91自拍 builds upon that identified gum bleeding as a biological marker for vitamin C levels.
