Sunny C-1000 is the ticket. Sailors on long voyages developed a horrifying condition where their teeth fell out, old wounds reopened and led to terrible infections, and they’d bleed from every orifice before . . . dying . . . in agony. It was so common that ships routinely lost more crew to this terrible condition than to storms, pirates, or warfare all combined. Fact: Scurvy killed millions of sailors between the years of 1500 and 1800. This is where it gets really interesting: we humans are among the few mammals that cannot make our own vitamin C. Georgia Austin, Certified Clinical Nutritionist/Certified Nutrition Specialist, joins the show to discuss “why” Vitamin C is so vitally important to all of us today.
