What happens if you take too much vitamin C?

staying too acidic for too long can mess with your blood electrolytes, too............

they aren't (oxalate-acetate), they're calcium oxalate 🙄

waiting for osteoporosis

Watch out with the Vitamin C—especially if you’ve got a date lined up😉 The gas this stuff kicks up is basically a gastrointestinal tsunami 😱 😂

Everything makes sense to me now... I ended up grabbing two grapefruits yesterday, so I spent the rest of the evening just enjoying the breeze outside.😈

Could you please post Superman? 🥳

I wouldn't joke about osteoporosis. You really need to start thinking about it once you hit your late 30s or 40s—unless you're an outlier—because once the damage is done, there's no fixing it.

konj111 said:It’s probably the RDA, but whatever. 😬 The upper limit for Vitamin C (before you start seeing toxicity) is way higher than just 1 gram. I actually take about 3 to 5 grams of Vitamin C every day.

What's the reasoning behind taking such a high dose?

That’s definitely from the grapefruit peels, not the Vitamin C.

You're missing the point😎

What was the poet actually trying to say?
I was talking about overdoing it with ascorbic acid—creating the perfect pH storm for kidney stones (calcium oxalate) and leaching calcium from your system. Osteoporosis is just the long-term fallout from that kind of constant hypotoxicity.
Osteoporosis can also come from slamming too much meat and protein (like those crazy Atkins diets or anything used to bulk up muscle), which ends up creating an excess of endogenous oxalic acid...
dietary issues, malnutrition, mental health struggles (anorexia, bulimia)—all lead to estrogen deficiency...

"Osteoporosis" is a massive umbrella term. In your case, it's just a byproduct of your primary condition that’s making it hard to stay active. And that primary issue started because of 🙂, but hey, you know your own medical history better than I do.

What kind of trouble can I get into if I drink way too much Coca-Cola in a single day? Because, honestly, I am obsessed with Coca-Cola, but I tend to go a little overboard during my trips to Redondo Beach, like drinking tons of it for two or three weeks straight every couple of months...

Real question! That's exactly what I wanted to ask.🙏
Honestly, you don't even want to know how much I go through.🙄 😁
Long story short: there's no such thing as too much Coca-Cola.😍

Drinking too much Coca-Cola can definitely have a laxative effect on you. 😬

I mean, she’d probably notice—but honestly, just like me, it doesn't seem to affect her.🤷 😁

Bodybuilders tend to shovel in a few extra grams of Vitamin C every day just to keep their muscle mass from dropping, so I assume that’s why guys go so heavy on the 😁
. I actually remember reading a study suggesting that synthetic Vitamin C isn't all it's cracked up to be—your body has a hard time processing it all. Honestly, you’re better off just squeezing a couple of oranges in the morning, snacking on five or six kiwis, or tossing some greens into a smoothie. You'll feel much better, and you'll be loading your liver up with plenty of actual, natural antioxidants 😉

supplements. there was actually some study floating around about how synthetic Vitamin C isn't even that great for you since it's such a pain to digest... better off just squeezing a few oranges in the morning, grabbing five or six kiwis, or tossing together a green juice—you'll be set, plus your liver gets a nice little boost from all those natural antioxidants 😉instead of the chemical stuff.

Yeah, maybe I would, if my days were at least 48 hours long 😁--but they aren't

The Bible says it best: "moderation in food and drink."
Moderation should be the rule of thumb for vitamins, too. If you’re eating a well-balanced diet, why even bother rushing to a pharmacy? You can find Vitamin K in lemon zest, and there's actually more Vitamin C in the peel than in the juice itself. If you grow your own food without dousing it in pesticides, you have everything you need right there in your garden.
Stop letting Big Pharma rob you blind. Their priority is profit, and you aren't even a close second on their list.
