You can quite safely take 1 or 2 gm of vitamin C every day or even 3 gm a day.

The Vitamin C Foundation actually recommends 3,000 mg (3 gm) per day but most health experts recommend a lot less.

The late Dr Linus Pauling, who won two Nobel prizes for contributions to medicine and health, recommended 5 gm per day but he seemed to be obsessed with vitamin C.

Too much vitamin C can give you kidney stones and it is also a diuretic. Also you will absorb more iron and calcium which could be good or bad depending on your iron and calcium levels.

Vitamin C is water soluble so whatever your body does not require is simply flushed out naturally.

yes only take reccomended dosage on back.

well hopefully if they are selling them, you can't overdose.

yes you can over dose on any medications or vitamins
only take what your doctor orders or what it says on the bottle

Yes, you can.

Large does of Vitamin C may cause indigestion in empty stomach. It may also cause vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, headache and disturbed sleep. It may cause skin rashes in young children.

Your body will just pass it out in your urine.

Save your money fool!

yes, but u won't die. my husband did it as a child, and it fu*t up his urinary tract.
