AS FAR AS VIT. "C" IS CONCERNED, mega doses are a waste. Your body does not store up vit. c , it uses what it needs right then, and then the rest of the vit. C is expelled from your body through your kidneys. So a good portion ends up in the toilet!!

Most of the excess Vitamin C will be eliminated by the body, but it can also cause diarrhea and stomachaches and gas, and can also hinder metabolic activities in the body. There may also be an increased risk of kidney stones. See the related link below for more information.
