Making sure you are getting enough vitamin C. vitamin C depletes quickly and just because you take a massive pill in the morning doesn't mean you won't have elimintaed the vitamin by the end of the day so a time-release product is best. Bruising easily is a symptom that you could have a vitamin C deficiency. "Vitamin C deficiency can lead to dry and splitting hair; gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) and bleeding gums; rough, dry, scaly skin; decreased wound-healing rate, easy bruising; nosebleeds; weakened enamel of the teeth; swollen and painful joints; anemia; decreased ability to ward off infection; and, possibly, weight gain because of slowed metabolic rate and energy expenditure. The body does not manufacture vitamin C on its own, nor does it store it." http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002404.htm
