Discover your vitamin C levels with a vitamin C blood test.

Optimize your nutrition and overall well-being with our vitamin C blood test.

 

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that plays a vital role in tissue repair, collagen formation and immune defense. As a water-soluble vitamin, it helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, assists in the absorption of iron and supports wound healing. Our bodies need vitamin C to make collagen, a protein essential for wound healing and skin integrity. It also helps the immune system function optimally to protect the body from disease.

 

Our trusted vitamin C test measures the level of ascorbic acid in your blood. A vitamin C deficiency may be due to inadequate vitamin C in the diet or a health condition that interferes with vitamin absorption.  Symptoms may include fatigue, slow wound healing and increased susceptibility to infections.

What's Tested
  • Vitamin C

    The Vitamin C Test measures the level of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in your blood. This water-soluble vitamin is vital for immune support, collagen production, wound healing, and antioxidant protection. Vitamin C also improves the absorption of iron in your body. Low levels may lead to fatigue, bruising, joint pain, or slow-healing wounds. Including a variety of fruit and vegetables such as citrus, strawberries, bell peppers, and broccoli in your diet can help maintain healthy vitamin C levels.

FAQ

  • A vitamin C blood test helps assess your vitamin C level, which plays a key role in maintaining healthy immunity, collagen production and iron absorption. Individuals at possible risk for vitamin C deficiency include those with restrictive or limited diets or who have certain conditions that interfere with normal digestion such as inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, cystic fibrosis, or previous bariatric surgery.

     

    For those experiencing low vitamin C symptoms such as fatigue, weakened immunity and slow wound healing, testing can help you find out your vitamin C level to support your health.

     

    This test can also identify vitamin C excess in your body.
