Can you have too much Vitamin C?

[peasea]

I find I get wobbly and talk gibberish if I have too much Vitamin P....

I get the same thing on Vitamin E. How wierd is that?

You'll probably get the squirts.

I can't have much Vitamin C because I have hemochromatosis, which means my body absorbs and stores too much Iron and Vitamin C helps the body to store that Iron.... so I'm sitting here thinking "Immmmmm, yumm, Simply Squeezed!!!" I used to love drinking that, PULLLLPPPPPPP!! haha, you lucky bugger!

Hemochromatosis?
Is that when you collapse after polishing your Chrysler?

(All due respect for your condition, couldn't resist.)

I think I'd go 300C before a Ram. Both cool though. I got a squirt in a ram SRT10 a while back, what a truck!

Not a bad choice, on the 'scale' of things. Be good to take one for a 'fang'.

I once read a story about a lady who was megadosing on vitamin C over a long period of time.

If I recall correctly, she was taking so much Vitamin C that it began to recrystalise in her urethra.

Which can't be much fun.

It never ceases to amaze me how we can go from talking about Vitamin C to driving Dodge Vipers in 3 posts.

Feel much better today. Pulp is amazing.

It's an innate ability Gubb, you either have it or you don't.

Yep, thats how my body reacts with too much vitamin C. As mentioned, you wont OD on it, but it can give you the shits.

I can't drink orange juice.
Well, I can, but I suffer for it.

[nodrog:Me]

Water the juice down a bit with clear liquids....Vodka would be my choice...

Bugger orange juice - Whisky is the elixir you seek

Mix that 50/50 with Stones Green Ginger Wine - I'll sell ya some - even give ya a KB discount (of five whole cents!!!!)

you guys are bloody flash, meths would be more Gubb's style me thinks.

There's a sticker on the bottle that states "5 days of Vitamin C in every litre". If I drink the whole 2L bottle (and get 10 days worth of Vitamin C), will it upset my guts?

It could. Vitamin C is a toxin. Eating too much fruit or drinking too much orange juice could make you feel nauseous and give you diarrhoea. This is the body reacting to a mild case of toxic poisoning.

You probably won't get that by taking lots of vitamin C tablets, as in most cases with tablets, the body does not absorb the vitamins from them very easily. Even products with "added vitamin C" (a marketing ploy instead of saying preservative 202 Potassium sorbate) won't give you much vitamin C either as it is quite unstable. Just because they put it in - it doesn't mean you get it. Fresh fruit and vegetables are the best for getting vitamins.

Yes to much Vitamin Sea can be harmfull. You can drown.

Then there's the other vitamin See that if taken in the wrong place and the wrong time can cause fatal bulllet wounds and other nasties.
