Answers: Please give me an explanation! THanks!
Occasionally, very high doses (over 10G ie ~ 10,000MG) daily can cause unpleasant side effects, such as diarrhea, excess urination and skin rashes. If this happens simply cut back on our dosage.
Vitamin C can also be destroyed by smoking, water, cooking, heat, light and oxygen and alcohol ?
Vitamin C is a powerfull antioxidant though and is pretty good at protecting you from catching the common cold ?
CHEERS
?
take care of you ?
You can't really have too much since you will just urinate it back out. It is a water soluble vitamin.
What might happen if you take more than your bodies tolerance is have an upset stomach that night or the next day.
Im not sure why and what will happen but I gave a book that says that the average usual therapeutic dosage is 100-1000mg a day.
Yes far to much unless the Doctor say's You need it you only need no more then 100mg to 200mg as you will be geting some in your food too.
The claims of Linus Pauling have pretty much been disproven (he took 5k per day) but C just gets excreted out anyway.
Of course you can probably overdo anything but it won't build up toxic effects like oil based vitamins E, A and K.
Best luck.
Stick with 1000 - that's more than enough for a 16 yo.
Ever heard about too much of a good thing?? There is a reason why the is a daily recommended dosage. You can damage your kidneys in the long term if you take too much.
Make sure that you are eating the right stuff to make sure that the C you do take is properly absorbed. Often, it's better to eat something with the vitamins in (like oranges, strawberries or chillies) because nature has designed the foods to have the right balance! At the end of the day, that's what its about- a healthy balance.
why are you doing this ? most likely you are ingesting ascorbic acid which is not vitamin c it is only a chemical part of c. it is like eating the shell of the egg,but not the whole egg.kiddo,check with your mom or dad.you are killing yourself......
