A Vitamin C Test reflects the amount of vitamin C in the plasma and white blood cells during periods of vitamin C depletion and supplementation. Vitamin C is important for making collagen. Low values occur in scurvy, malabsorption, alcoholism, pregnancy, hyperthyroidism, and renal failure. Smokers have lower levels than nonsmokers.
Vitamin C is essential to your health. This test checks your blood level of vitamin C and compares the result versus expected normal values.
