lol can you overdoes on vitimin C?

i just took 20x over the stated does for vitimin c tablets cos i have a cold and wanna get rid of it fast

 

You can overdose on any types of vitamins. They have recommended doses for a reason LOL.

Im sure you will be fine but I would stick to what it says in the future.

 

Too much of everthing is bad. But in the case of vitamin c, drink lots of water to flush it out of your system.

 

They don't call you hurry host for nothing Taking more of anything won't fix it quicker.

 

I read that to OD on vit c, you would have to take about 1000, of course your stomach would probably give up before that and make you vomit.

Your wasting what you have taken and at the most id of taken one in the morning and one at night.

You will basically piss out what you dont need and im not totally sure but maybe put a little temporary strain on your kidneys or whatever processes things as it flushes it out.

The trick is to take your vits daily in a normal dose and if your sensible and dont walk around the house half naked in the winter then most colds should never become fully blown and mostly are a sniffle lasting for a day.

Vitamins are not magic pills though, sleep, stress levels, diet should all be balanced as much as you can.

 

Nahh nothing gonna happen, just drink some water and you'll piss it all...
Just don't do that every day all you'll have a funny looking piss. lol

 

For man, monkey and guinea pig, Vitamin C or Ascorbic acid is essential in the diet (dietary essential) as these species lack an enzyme L guluno lactone oxidase to synthesize Vitamin C. For others, it is synthesized in the system itself. Hence the higher margin of safety which saved you from the possible overdose

 

You can't overdose on it really. Eventually if you take enough you'll get diarrhea, but that's called a Vitamin C flush.

 

There's a saying: even too much water can make you sick

 

I don't know try it and let us know ....

 

seriously dude you are whacked, all you do is post to increase your post count

 

actually, a overdose of a vitamin can be more dangerous than having an underdose. so be careful.

 

Your lucky you picked Vitamin C, it is a water soluble vitamin (as is the vitamin B family) so can only dehydrate you really. Drink lots of water to help it work its way out of your system.

Another note, women should avoid high doeses of Vitamin C, as it has been linked to miscarriages (which is why many Vitamin C caplets now have Rosehips-to counteract said effect).

 

I don't think overdose of vitamin C has any side effects, just the human body can absorb a certain amount of vit.C per day and if you take more it will not be absorbed.

 

I suspect it would affect you the same way suger would. It probably wouldn't kill you (unless you had high blood sugar), but could make you feel pretty sick. It definitely wouldn'tb e good for your body.

 

First of all, why did you think that taking so much Vit C will help you get rid of your cold faster? It just doesn't make sense to do that. Too much of a good thing is bad.

 

You'd puke before you could fill your stomache with enough vitamin c to overdose

 

Be warned that megadoses of Vitamin C can cause diarrhea, so don't go to far from a toilet. Just drink lots of fluids and you should be fine (but it won't help your cold go away, I'm sorry to say).

 

Usually when the body has extra vitamins it just pisses them out
