Overdoes, vitamin c?

Question

if i take a 500 mg swallowable vitamin c pill, at age 13, will i OD, are there side effects?

Answer 1

If you overdose on vitamin C you will get diarrhea and that's about it.  You can take several 500mg vitamin C in a day but I suggest you do not do it all at once.

Answer 2

No you will not. It is highly unlikely that you would experience

any side effects either, An over abundance of vitamin c can

cause stomach upset and diarhea, but not 500 mg.

There are many people who take 1000 mg at a time with no

problems whatsoever.

500 mg is a good, SAFE amount however. :)

Answer 3

No, you will not overdose.  Your body will just pee out what it doesn't need.  There are no side effects.

Answer 4

Do not overdose on anything.

If you eat a balance meal, you get all the vitamins you need.

If you think you do not eat properly, take one muti-vitamin pill.  that is all you need.

People always try to sell you things!  do not fall victim to that!  Good Luck !
