Re: Vitamin C & bleeding time

[Guest guest]

Lena,

I did actually notice the same thing after I started Vitamin C. I cut my

finger and bleed a bit longer then I was used to. That was right after I started

the Vitamin C.

I am back to normal now I think.

I cut my finger again with a razor not to long ago and didn't have any

problem. I wonder if bleeding more is a temporary side effect?

I also wanted to say how much better my circulation is now that I am on vitamin

C. Maybe I do have thinner blood...

Hi Leena,

I didn't know that vit. C could affect bleeding time. But I googled

vit. C & bleeding time and this article indeed correlated vit. c

with bleeding time.

The same thing is happening to me and it seems like only a little scratch makes

me bleed. Also, I have been dealing with a split on the top of my right thumb

which I didn't cut, but my skin was dry and it just split open and now it heals

to a point and then it breaks open again. It drives me nuts because I'm right

handed and you'd be surprised the weird places the top of your thumb goes...lol
