| Nope, the only thing is that it might give you a bit of diarrhoea (sp?).

| its not actually BAD for you in the long run, but if you take too much you could make it uncomfortable for yourself. it can give you stomach pains, diarrhoea, or gas. more seriously (and over more time) can also effect your stomach lining (swells it or something crazy) or kidney stones (like passing rocks out of your urethra, not cool). so id say you are ok to have lots for a few days, but more effeciently and effectively, try to span them out, because getting the right amount all the time is way better than getting to much some of the time... |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Hi, you might be inetrested in the following info from www.anyvitamins.com:
'Since ascorbic acid is a water-soluble vitamin, toxic levels are not built up or stored in the body, and any excess is lost mostly through urine. If extremely large amounts are taken gastrointestinal problems may appear, but will normalize when the intake is cut or reduced. To determine a level where a person might experience discomfort is difficult, since some people can easily stomach up to 25,000 mg per day, while others start having a problem at 600 or 1,000 mg.
Some people using mega dose therapy of vitamin C may have side effects such as gastrointestinal complaints including diarrhea, nausea and abdominal cramps. These side effects normally stop as soon as high potency intake is reduced or stopped.
The RDA is 60 mg, per day - yet this amount will only prevent you from picking up scurvy and more recent studies suggest that an intake between 200 - 500 mg per day may be the most beneficial for healthy people.
The recommend dosage for pregnant or lactating women is 75-95 mg per day'.
Glad you bought that up...Ive been taking 1000mg with zinc slow release for just over a month, so looks like I needn't have had so much. Not had any of the side effect though. Hope that helps xx  | | | | Status: Offline
