hmmmmmmm-- I remember learning that your body will only absorb the amount of vitamin C it needs, and will void the rest. So, take that for what it's worth. Personally, I had to cut back on the Vitamin C years ago, though, for other health reasons, believe it or not-- it was exacerbating my psoriatic arthritis, which is an autoimmune disorder. The extra C I was taking, which I thought was going to help, was actually hurting me.
My two cents-- nite nite!0 -
too much protein is definitely hard on the kidneys (i don't know the specific amount)...i don't think you can actually OD on vitamin c (unless maybe you ate the entire bottle....you might, however, get pretty sick) but i have read that your body can only absorb 500 mg at a given time so anything over that gets flushed out....0
