Easy Bruising: Nutritional deficiencies associated with easy bruising include vitamins B-12, C, K and folic acid. These vitamins are found in foods like spinach, dairy, fish, meat, citrus fruits, asparagus and broccoli. Other causes of easy bruising include: meds (aspirin, ibuprofen, steroids, some antibiotics), supplements ( fish oil, garlic, ginkgo, arnica and vitamin E), liver disease and vasculitis. See a Dr
