I saw this, and wanted to ease your mind. You won't be harmed by taking too much vitamin C. I wasn't sure, though, so I checked info at www.webmd.com. If you want, check the website, and type in "vitamin C overdose". It will give you the information you are looking for. It did say, however, if you are concerned, you should call poison control and seek advice.

But, rest easy. Sounds like you'll be alright. :)
 
Well, you can expect stomachaches and diarrhea to occur if you take too much.

Really? I didn't know that, and nothing I found indicated that. I do know that taking mega doses causes sores in the mouth, though. When I was younger, I was prescribed a hefty dose of vit C, and it caused mouth ulcers. Same thing happens if I eat too many tomatoes or oranges. :lol:

True, I had an experience like this so I has to limit with it. I dont take effervescent vitamin tablet if I eat alot of fruits because it's lots of vitamin in the fruits.

I take effervescent vitamin C tablet sometimes but I do take effervescent Magnesium tablet every night because of avoid sleeping problem and stress due thyroid gland problem, I had for 2 years.

No, you dont die if you overdose vitamin C tablet. Like what Banjo said is correct.

I do take vitamin C tablet or hot lemon tea when I'm flu etc. I also take vitamin C sometimes. It is good for protect from germs, cancer etc but limit it.
 
I recalled that when I was in college, and my teacher said to me that my face looked yellow. I realized that I had too much Vitamin C. It doesn't hurt me at all so I stopped taking them for a few days to go back normal. It was good thing that I didn't transform a monster! :crazy:

I've heard that ya can't really overdose on Vitamin C. Besides in the pill form, the body doesn't really absorb too much of it; it just goes to waste out the other end. I suspect that's why you took sooooooo much and wasted the money; get some that is in liquid form and put it under your tongue for a few seconds so absorption begins like right now!

5,000 mgs. is nothing. When Linus Pauling was alive he took upwards of 30,000 mgs. a day and he lived well into his 80’s.

Here is the MSDS for ascorbic acid. Looks like the rat LD50 is 11,900 mg/kg. So a person my size (200 lbs.) would have to ingest close to two pounds of the stuff to even have half a chance of killing themselves.
