Stretch marks and winter itchies

[Guest guest]

I know that I have read somewhere that stretch marks are due to a

deficency in something, but I can't remember what. Anyone have any

ideas? Also, I was wondering if others out there still get the winter

itchies and dry skin despite an increased fat intake. Does anyone

change their diet in a specific way during the winter to offset

wintertime dry skin? Just curious. Bertie

Vitamin C is essential for collagen formation, so perhaps 1-10g of

vitamin C a day would help if taken during the period when you are " at

risk " for stretch marks. Just a thought.
