Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 3

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) has a scientifically validated role in supporting the health of blood vessels and connective tissue. Its use in treating or supporting internal bleeding is primarily based on its critical function in collagen synthesis, which is essential for maintaining the integrity of blood vessel walls. Vitamin C deficiency, as seen in scurvy, leads to weakened capillary walls and increased bleeding, including internal hemorrhages. Supplementation with vitamin C reverses these symptoms by restoring normal collagen production and vascular strength.

Studies have shown that vitamin C supplementation can help reduce bleeding tendencies in individuals with low vitamin C status. For example, patients with scurvy or borderline deficiency may present with gum bleeding, petechiae, or even internal bleeding, all of which are ameliorated with vitamin C therapy. However, for otherwise healthy individuals with normal vitamin C levels, there is limited evidence that additional supplementation prevents or treats internal bleeding from other causes (such as trauma or coagulopathies).

In summary, vitamin C is scientifically validated for preventing and treating bleeding due to deficiency states, but its role in treating internal bleeding unrelated to deficiency is not well established. Thus, while vitamin C is essential for vascular health and can reverse deficiency-related bleeding, it should not be considered a primary therapy for internal bleeding from other medical causes without addressing the underlying condition.
