If you take more vitamins than your body needs, you will excrete the extra vitamin content through your urine. Regardless of how many you take, your body will only use what it needs to be effective. Getting vitamins naturally is always the best way to benefit your body systems...diet, exercise, etc.

For the most part, nothing will happen. The Kidneys will remove the excess from you body as liquid waste. Any actual problems from taking to much Vitamin C are very rare, but can reportedly include: Severe Back pain (from kidneys), Jaundice, Itchy skin (prurutis), Tender mass in left upper abdomen (splenomegaly), Fever, Dizziness, Vomiting, Nausea, Headache, and Facial flushing.

You can avoid any of these major problems by starting at a low dosage and slowly working your way up. For example, try one gram per day (not on empty stomach) for a week or two, then bring it up to two, and so on. If you have "a loose bowel movement," then you are taking a bit too much. Back off a gram (or two, if you want to be extra-safe) and the problem should go away within a day or two. Now you can hold at this dosage, or adjust is as desired - just stay a little below your tolerance level.

I don't really think anything happens, apart from you having really hard bones, you'll also be very immune to bone cancer or diseases.

Vitamin C is water soluble, so you can't overdose on it. If anything, you might get a LITTLE~ diarrhea.
