Vitamin C Deficiency and Vascular Integrity

Yes, vitamin C deficiency is directly linked to both bleeding gums and easy bruising.
Severe vitamin C deficiency causes a condition known as scurvy, where early and prominent symptoms include gum inflammation and tendency to bleed.

Role of Collagen and Capillaries

Vitamin C is essential for the synthesis of collagen, a vital structural protein needed to maintain the integrity of blood vessels, connective tissues, skin, and gums.
When vitamin C levels are inadequate, capillary walls become fragile and weak, leading to spontaneous bleeding, bleeding gums, and a tendency to develop easy bruising from minor trauma.
