Can you eat too much Vitamin C?

[seizer]

I bought this container of like 500 tabs of 500mg of Vitamin C. They taste damn good so I eat em like candy since Im cutting and dont actually wanna eat candy and throw off my diet. Could this be bad for me? They taste really good...like sweet tarts almost...and i love my sweet tarts, yes i do.

Yep ... they'll give you the shits.

vitamin c? time for some ascorbicide

Vitamin C will give you the shits (like said above), can lead to/cause kidney stones and block out B vitamins from being absorbed.

Abscorbic acid as Vitamin C will screw you up, doesn't have the rest of the components that make up Vitamin C, so it's not digested properly. Acerola cherry extract is a great source of true vitamin C, although many still add abscorbic acid now...

Ascorbic acid IS Vitamin C, you fool.

Those chewable tabs still have sugar in them too. Calorie wise, I doubt they're much better than sweet tarts. You might want to check it out.

From various sources:

"Vitamin C also known as, ascorbic acid, L-ascorbic acid, dehydroascorbic acid, the antiscorbutic vitamin, L-xyloascorbic acid and L-threo-hex-2-uronic acidy-lactone, is a much talked about vitamin..."

"Ascorbic acid is an organic acid with antioxidant properties. The L-enantiomer of ascorbic acid is commonly known as vitamin C..."

And a damn fine site on ascorbate here.
