Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 hey guys I am trying to find out what the max amount of vit c i can take per day is? I looked online and it says that too much vit c can cause arteries to harden? I have taken 2000 mg so far I am so sick with the upper rep infection/throat inf that i hope this helps, i also took some collidial silver.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 I have taken 2000 mg so far I am so sick with the upper rep infection/throat inf that i hope this helps, I have been taking mega doses of Vit. C. most of my adult life. I have gone as far as 25 grams in a day when I'm sick. I usually take 4 grams of ester-C powder every day. I never heard of it being toxic at any level, as it is water soluable and you just pee any excess out as the day goes on. Most recommendations say to take it to bowel tolerance. When you begin to get diarrhea it means you don't need quite that much and to cut back on the dosage. When I get things like upper respiratory, I take 2 grams per hour! My body loves Vit. C.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Vanessa: Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin and the excess is excreted in the urine, so it is hard to overdose. I have never heard of the hardening of the arteries thing and cannot imagine the mechanism by which that would happen. It is likely that you will cause yourself to have diarrhea by taking extremely high doses. Once you have diarrhea, Vitamin C is being wasted (literally). One of the things I do when I take high dosese of Vitamin C is take 250 mg. (I use the powdered form in water) and add 250 mg every hour until I have diarrhea. Then, I back off 250 mg. and take that dose every 4 hours for several days. That should give you a saturation at the cellular level. Also, do not forget the power of garlic to kill off viruses and bacteria. I keep garlic-stuff olives and pickled garlic in my refrigerator all fall and winter to munch on when I feel like I am getting sick. It frequently kills the germs. Be well.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Hi Vanessamelly, You seem to be having all kinds of problems! To bring some clarification to your problem: If a person takes high dosages of vit c and does not take or have enough reserves of alkaline minerals in their body and or a good carbon source with high minerals in it, then the vit c can make the person very sick!! If you want to take vit c and get the best results, then you might try taking one tablespoon full of pure blackstrap molasses along with the vit c to provide a carbon source rich in alkaline minerals so you get good results instead of bad results. You need to take some kind of good Probotics to supply the stomach with the ability to digest the food you are trying to eat, other wise you are going to continue to have problems. Also go to the denist and correct any tooth infection you are having so it will stop bothering you and causing you to have sinus and other infections. To help stop the infections, Garlic is one of the best things to take, do not take garlic with any protein, but use a good carbon source such as blackstrap molasses to go along with it. Smile for there is hpoe, Tis now your choice. herbal remedies , Vanessamelly@a... wrote I have taken 2000 mg so far I am so sick with the upper rep > infection/throat inf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
