Let's talk about joint pain and vitamin C. Could your joint pain be caused by a vitamin C deficiency? 

What you need to know about vitamin C:
• It's involved with collagen synthesis
• It can help lower inflammation 
• The need for vitamin C increases with stress (such as infection or surgery)
• Vitamin C is an antioxidant and a cofactor for opioids 
• Vitamin C is required for collagen  
• Vitamin C can't be absorbed in the presence of sugar 

If you're consuming sugar, or you're prediabetic or diabetic, that elevated sugar situation could prevent vitamin C from being absorbed. Vitamin C and glucose have a similar chemistry. In the presence of vitamin C and glucose, your body will always absorb glucose before the vitamin C. Insulin resistance could also cause a person to be deficient in vitamin C. 

This could easily show up as joint pain. Fatigue and joint pain are the two top indicators that you could have a vitamin C deficiency. 

You may just need to cut sugar out of the diet.
