Vitamin C, like most water soluble vitamins, does not "bioaccumulate". Amounts in excess to current requirements are removed by the kidneys and excreted in urine. To maintain elevated levels of Vitamin C in bodily fluids, you must take repeated smaller doses constantly. In other words, if you want to "mega-dose", say, 2000 mg of Vitamin C each day, the best plan would be to consume it in 6 to 8 portions taken throughout the day. Time-release formulations of Vitamin C are available.
