Vitamin C deficiency
Symptoms:

Vitamin C’s usefulness for the human body is undeniable. The body, on the other hand, cannot make or store vitamin C. As a result, continual food consumption is required.
Scurvy is the most well-known vitamin C deficient illness.

Scurvy is no longer a problem in developed countries. However, it is important to consume a significant amount of fresh fruits and vegetables.
