Vitamin C


Question
QUESTION: Can you take too much Vitamin C?

I'm not talking about overdosing, I'm talking about taking too much to the point where it becomes unhealthy? Normal amount I would say would be 500mg per day right? So what if I were to start talking 2,000 mg per day instead? or 1,000?

Basically what is the limit? and I am talking about per day. The amount where it is too much, therefor more unhealthy than healthy? I am 19 and am a male.

ANSWER: Hi Josh

Thanks for writing in with this question.

As we are not medical practitioners, we can only offer you our experience and advice and we always recommened people following dosages and the like. If you do want to take more, it would be better to speak to someone who is medically trained.

QUESTION: Right I know, so how much would you say is the healthy amount? What's too much? per day. and remember I am 19. I know you are not a medical practitioner but I still want to know what YOU think.

Answer
Hi Josh

Recent studies suggest that an intake between 200 - 500 mg per day may be the most beneficial for healthy people. As for too much, that is not for us to say and we suggest you speak to a medical practitioner to find this out.

Thanks
