Things worth knowing about "Scurvy"

Skorbut ist eine durch Vitamin-C-Mangel verursachte Krankheit, die heute in Industrieländern selten ist, aber bei extremer Mangelernährung oder Essstörungen auftreten kann.

Vitamin C ist wichtig für viele Körperfunktionen und dient als Antioxidans, das Zellen vor Schäden schützt. Es ist essenziell für die Kollagenbildung, die Wundheilung, die Eisenaufnahme und den oxidativen Zellschutz.

Die Symptome von Skorbut entwickeln sich meist schleichend: MüdigkeitZahnfleischblutenMuskelschwächeBlutungen unter der Haut (Petechien) sowie schlechte Wundheilung sind typische Anzeichen. In schweren Fällen kann es zu ZahnverlustÖdemenAnämie und Immunschwäche kommen. Kinder zeigen zudem Wachstumsstörungen und Knochenschmerzen.

Die Behandlung erfolgt durch die gezielte Zufuhr von Vitamin C über Nahrungsergänzung oder frische Lebensmittel wie Zitrusfrüchte, Beeren, Paprika oder Brokkoli. Erste Symptome bilden sich meist innerhalb weniger Tage zurück. Eine ausgewogene Ernährung ist die wirksamste Prävention gegen Skorbut.
