Vitamin deficiency triggers bleeding GUMS?

I don’t know many folks who LOVE going to the dentist.

Especially when all the poking, prodding, and scrapping leads to BLEEDING GUMS.

But the thing is, bleeding gums are no joke as they can be a scary precursor to things like gingivitis or other gum infections.

Too often you’re sent on your way with expensive toothpastes and gels that only MASK the real cause of your bleeding gums.

Today, I’ve got something to gets to the potential root of the problem.

A research study conducted by the University of Washington found that bleeding gums are a tell-tale sign that you may be LACKING vitamin C.

This study found that bleeding gums is linked to low vitamin C levels in the bloodstream—so increasing your daily intake of C can reverse this problem.

Sounds simple enough, right?

Just eat some more oranges or drink orange juice?

Well, when it comes to getting the right amount of vitamin C in your diet, it’s not that simple.

Because all sources of vitamin C AREN’T created equal.

Sure, many popular foods (like oranges and tomatoes) have vitamin C, but as a stand-alone, NONE of them give you the adequate amount of vitamin C your body needs.

To make sure you’re getting the right amount, I recommend considering acerola.

Acerola is a deep red berry, like a cherry. It is also called the “acerola cherry” or “Yucatan cherry.”

But here’s where acerola stands apart… it has nearly 100X MORE vitamin C than oranges!

Now, acerola is native to Brazil, southern Mexico, and even Caribbean islands like Barbados. But luckily, you can find acerola extract in supplement form, as a powder or capsule… or as an ingredient in antioxidant blends and immune support formulas.

The powder supplement is quite popular and can be mixed into beverages, smoothies, juices, and more.

Most online vitamin retailers sell acerola supplements for around $10.

To happy, healthy gums,
