Nosebleeds can be a symptom of vitamin C deficiency. They can also occur when people take high doses of vitamin C and then stop suddenly. This phenomenon is known as “rebound scurvy.” If someone has been irregular with vitamin C intake, or has dramatically changed their intake of vitamin C, it is very possible there is a correlation to recent nosebleeds. Bioflavonoids and/or grape seed extract may help to strengthen capillaries.
