Most vitamins you pee out. High doses of vitamin C can cause stomach upset and diarrhea though.

There are some that stay in your body and as you take them you can overdose.

You can't overdose on Vitamin C, any excess will leave your system. But I'm curious as to what size tablets you're using (500mg, 1000mg, etc.), because 6 tablets seems like an awful lot. I'm sure there must be a directions label on the bottle.

My dad is a nutritionist.



For adults, 500 mg is a typical dose. There are non-acidic varieties of vitamin C and the maximum allowable for this is usually higher than the conventional vitamin C.
