Vitamin C

I have Most of the signs of needing more Vitamin C

Slow healing of cuts , frequent colds , bleeding gums etc.
I eat lots of Bell Pepers , Tomatoes , Pineapple and Carrots all raw , but it doesn't make a difference.
I have been eating like this for almost 3 months now and I still am getting signs of needing Vitimin C .

Any Help ?
