Answer 3

a person cannot overdose on vitamin C because it is water soluble. If you are trying to fight off a cold, an adult can take between 500mg and 1000mg. The above is quite true ... if one takes more than about 1000mg of Vitamin C, the body will simply discharge the excess and not store it.

Answer 4

Vitamin C is required for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. It is necessary to form collagen, an important protein used to make skin, scar tissue, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. Vitamin C is essential for the healing of wounds, and for the repair and maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth. Vitamin C is one of many antioxidants. Vitamin E and beta-carotene are two other well-known antioxidants. Antioxidants are nutrients that block some of the damage caused by free radicals, which are by-products that result when our bodies transform food into energy. Despite the popular belief that vitamin C can cure the common cold, the scientific evidence for this is conflicting. Large doses of vitamin C, for example, may help reduce the duration of a cold, but they do not appear to protect against one in the first place, even after exposure to a cold virus.

Also we should take vitamin C because if its stores deplete after 3 months it may cause:

1- Easy bruising and haemorrhages under the skin

2-Gums become swollen , tender , and bleed easily

3-The teeth become loose and may fall

4-Delayed wound healing , osteoporosis and anemia

Answer 5

Vitamin C megadosage is the consumption (or injection) of vitamin C (ascorbate) in doses comparable to the amounts produced by the livers of most other mammals and well beyond the current Dietary Reference Intake. A practitioner of vitamin C megadosage might consume several grams or commonly up to 20 grams or more per day under the assumption it leads to optimal health or healing of some condition. The dosage is usually divided and consumed in portions over the day. Injections of hundreds of grams per day are advocated by some physicians for therapy of certain conditions, poisonings, and recovery from trauma. People who practice vitamin C megadosage may consume many vitamin C pills throughout each day or dissolve pure vitamin C crystals in water or juice and drink it throughout the day.
