Vitamin C

[Max]

Has anyone had any experience of a dose this high and does it have any ill or complimentary effects? Jamie

Jamie, I've taken a high dose (2 to 4 g.) irregularly for over 20 years to cure/prevent colds & it also works for hay fever.
If I take too much it is a similar effect to eating too much fruit .
A study in USA of very high dosage users over many years found that the only other side effect was that crystalls formed in the kidneys of some users which disappeared when the Vit. C was stopped.

Regards,

Max.

i did not say I was soiling Baz did, I said it gives me stomach cramps and makes me feel like a crap.

Your a moderator how can you let this go on.

Perhaps I should switch to the C Beebies or Tweenies forum. I may get a more thought provoking response.

Im a lot better now by the way, thanks for your concern

As well as taking protein supplements I also ingest 7 grams of vitamin C a day. After 3 weeks of doing this I have found I can now see in the dark.
This is handy as I often go for a run at night time when it isn't so warm.
I also drink a litre bottle of Kombucha a day, which is a drink made from fermenting a mushroom in sweet tea. This has given me the energy to train 3 times a day.

I think he is:
He told me that when he goes for long runs in the hills he wears crampons but I think I misheard him!

I was going to add to this thread but i fee that vitamin C has been covered from every conceivable angle.
