Some people say getting adequate vitamin C can help with easy bruising. I used to think I got enough, but when I started using a free website (myfooddata.com) --I use the 'recipe nutrition calculator' tool to add up an entire day's food as if it were one 'recipe'-- I saw that I wasn't getting as much as I thought. There is another similar site called cronometer. I've tried to include more vitamin-c rich foods, and sometimes take a low-dose supplement.

Thank you, I've thought about Vitamin C. I plan on starting a supplement soon.

Was your “ blood specialist “ a Coagulation specialist? There are around 13 or more factors in the coagulation cascade…. an issue with any one of these could be an issue. To test the functionality of each of these is quite expensive. A normal diet that includes fruit and vegetables would keep your vitamin C levels normal. Best of luck in resolving your bruising .

Has your hematologist tested you for bonWillebrand’s disease? It is a bleeding disorder that causes bruising. There are different types. Type1 can cause your clotting levels to fluctuate from normal to low. This can cause someone to bruise more easily when levels are lowered.
