Microblog: Vitamin C on a Meat-Based Diet

What about Vitamin C on a meat-based diet?

✖️Carnivores have pretty much debunked the worries over scurvy.

What is scurvy?

🤒Scurvy is a disease resulting from a lack of vitamin C. Early symptoms of deficiency include weakness, feeling tired and sore arms and legs. Without treatment, decreased red blood cells, gum disease, changes to hair, and bleeding from the skin may occur.

💡Now if you do feel any of these symptoms, you can always eat some of the foods listed. These symptoms can also be due to mineral or electrolyte imbalances and even thyroid imbalances.

👩🏻‍🏫Of the hundreds of meat-based clients I’ve worked with, where carnivore isn’t fully working, not one client was unwell because of a vitamin C deficiency.

❓Not enough fish for balanced fatty acids? Yes.
❓Too much liver? Yes
❓Not enough meat? Yes
❓Not enough fat? Yes

But never, ever too little vitamin C.

⚠️Pork liver (25.3 mg) and chicken liver (17.9 mg) do have measurable amounts of vitamin C while beef liver only has about 1.3 mg per 100 g serving. But always limit the amounts of liver in case of hypervitaminosis.
