Scurvy is a disease caused by a severe deficiency of vitamin C, hence it is also called the chronic vitamin C deficiency disorder. It is an ancient disease that developed during the 15th to 18th centuries or during the early times of Greek and Egyptians. It is a very rare disease and most commonly seen in undeveloped countries with the lack of proper nutrients. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin which plays a vital role in repairing, production, regeneration, and maintenance of tissues, bones, blood vessels, and skin. It is a powerful antioxidant, which helps in protecting against heart-related disorders, a variety of cancers and neutralizes the effects of nitrites. Vitamin C also absorbs iron and prevents scurvy, and decreases LDL or bad cholesterol and triglycerides.
