Can't readily find: How much Vitamin C, daily, for a safe megadose?

The only one from that line I would recommend is the "lite" b/c it has very little added sugar.

All the rest have too much sugar.

They are also nice because they have alot of potassium and are buffered with multi minerals.

Take until bowel tolerance is the general rule. In other words, when you start getting the skitters, reduce dose or stop.


It's best to take lower, but frequent doses (like 500 mg every 2-4 hours)

A good multivitamin? Cover all your bases.

Too much can lead to kidney stones

In 2002 Dr. Thomas Levy wrote "Curing the Incurable: Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases, and Toxins"

Since then he has refined his scientific use of high dose Vitamin C, and many other clinicians have followed suit.

The general idea is that depending on your load of microbe or toxin, the vitamin C you take will be utilized.

So everyone starts with a gram or 2 of Ascorbic powder in a glass of water every couple hours in water. And you increase that until you are better. Day 2 could be 3 grams every couple hours. When you encounter loose bowel movement, your body is not using the C fast enough and you back off the dose by 50%

Some people work up to 70 to even 100 grams in a day without a loose stool. But they are usually quite acutely ill.

Others will get loose stools after just one day of a gram every couple hours.

Take 2 shots at warp speed and call me in the morning

If you don't have intravenous or liposomal then take 100mg per hour. Mega dosing is useless with vit C because your body excretes all excess.
Taking it hourly keeps a constant supply in the bloodstream.

Just eat a beef liver (preferably raw) and be done with it. No one needs any supplements if their diet is right. Don't get scammed by the big suppla.

I have been taking 1 pack of the Emergen-C 1000 mg every day since the Covid shit started. It has too much sugar in it but I haven't even had the sniffles and I never wear the fucking mask.

Take whatever 1000 mg supplement you want and throw a 1000 mg vitamin D tablet in there as well

NOW brand, whole Psyllium husks, 2 table spoons mixed in water per day.

"Duece" issues resolved.

3 grams is a good start.

You work towards bowl intolerance.

Once you start shitting your guts out, you've had enough. Dial the dosage back until it stops.

Your body will use as much as it needs, at which point you get the shits.


You'll need to find the happy in-between. It's different for everyone.

43. Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid, Cevitamin Acid)
FACTS:
Water-soluble and a potent antioxidant.
Most animals synthesize their own vitamin C, but humans, apes, and guinea pigs must rely upon dietary sources.
Plays a primary role in the formation of collagen, which is important for the growth and repair of body-tissue cells, gums, blood vessels, bones, and teeth.
Helps in the body’s absorption of iron.
Measured in milligrams (mg.).
Used up more rapidly under stress conditions.
The RDI/RDA for adults is 60 mg. (higher doses recommended during
pregnancy and lactation—70–95 mg.).
51

Earl Mindell’s Vitamin Bible for the Twenty-First Century [ e - r e a d s ]
Smokers and older persons have greater need for vitamin C. (Each ciga- rette destroys 25–100 mg.)
Prevents the oxidation of bad (LDL) cholesterol.
WHAT IT CAN DO FOR YOU:
Heal wounds, burns, and bleeding gums.
Increase effectiveness of drugs used to treat urinary tract infections. Accelerate healing after surgery.
Help in decreasing blood cholesterol.
Aid in preventing many types of viral and bacterial infections and
generally potentiate the immune system.
Offer protection against many forms of cancer.
Help counteract the formation of nitrosamines (cancer-causing
substances).
Act as a natural laxative.
Lower incidence of blood clots in veins.
Aid in treatment and prevention of the common cold. Extend life by enabling protein cells to hold together. Increase the absorption of inorganic iron.
Reduce effects of many allergy-producing substances. Help lower high blood pressure.
Prevent scurvy.
DEFICIENCY DISEASE:
Scurvy. (For deficiency symptoms, see section 163.)
BEST NATURAL SOURCES:
Citrus fruits, berries, green and leafy vegetables, tomatoes, cantaloupe, cauliflower, potatoes, and peppers.
SUPPLEMENTS:
Vitamin C is one of the most widely taken supplements. It is avail- able in tablets, capsules, lozenges, time-release tablets, syrups, pow- ders, chewable wafers, in just about every form a vitamin can take.
The form that is pure vitamin C is derived from corn dextrose (although no corn or dextrose remains).
The difference between “natural” or “organic” vitamin C and ordi- nary ascorbic acid is primarily in the individual’s ability to digest it.

Earl Mindell’s Vitamin Bible for the Twenty-First Century [ e - r e a d s ]
The best vitamin C supplement is one that contains the complete C complex of bioflavonoids, hesperidin, and rutin. (Sometimes these are labeled citrus salts.)
Tablets and capsules are usually supplied in strengths up to 1,000 mg., and in powder form sometimes 5,000 mg. per tsp.
Daily doses most often used are 500 mg. to 4 g.
Rose hips vitamin C contains bioflavonoids and other enzymes that help C assimilate. They are the richest natural source of vitamin C. (The C is actually manufactured under the bud of the rose—called a hip.)
Acerola C is made with acerola berries. TOXICITY AND WARNING SIGNS OF EXCESS:
Excessive intake may cause oxalic acid and uric acid stone formation (though taking magnesium, vitamin B6, and a sufficient amount of water daily can rectify this.) Occasionally, very high doses (over 10 g. daily) can cause unpleasant side effects, such as diarrhea, excess urination, and skin rashes. If any of these occur, cut back on your dosage.
Vitamin C should not be used by cancer patients undergoing radiation or chemotherapy. It can change test results. (See section 334, “Cautions.”)
ENEMIES:
Water, cooking, heat, light, oxygen, smoking. (See section 293.)
PERSONAL ADVICE:
Because vitamin C is excreted in two to three hours, depending on the quantity of food in the stomach, and it is important to maintain a constant high level of C in the bloodstream at all times, I recommend taking it with breakfast and dinner.
Large doses of vitamin C can alter the results of laboratory tests, includ- ing Pap smears. If you’re going to have any blood or urine testing, be sure to inform your doctor that you’re taking vitamin C so that no errors will be made in diagnosis. (Vitamin C can mask the presence of blood in stool, compro- mising screening for colon cancer.)
Diabetics should be aware that testing the urine for sugar could be inaccurate if you’re taking a lot of vitamin C. (But there are testing kits available that aren’t affected by vitamin C. Ask your pharmacist or physician.)

Earl Mindell’s Vitamin Bible for the Twenty-First Century [ e - r e a d s ]
Diabetes medications such as chlorpropamide (DiabineseTM) and sulfa drugs may not be as effective when taken with vitamin C.
High doses are not recommended for people with genetic conditions that cause iron overload, like thalassemia and hemochromatosis.
If you’re taking over 750 mg. daily, I suggest a magnesium supplement. This is an effective deterrent against kidney stones.
Carbon monoxide destroys vitamin C, so city dwellers should definitely up their intake.
You need extra C if you are on the pill.
To maximize the effectiveness of vitamin C, remember that it works best in conjunction with bioflavonoids, calcium, and magnesium.
I recommend increasing C doses if you take aspirin, which triples the excretion rate of vitamin C.
If you take ginseng, it’s better to take it two hours before or after taking vitamin C or foods that are high in the vitamin.
To reduce the severity of colds, take 1,000 mg. of vitamin C twice daily. It’s been shown to decrease the histamine in the blood by 40 per- cent. (Histamine is the substance that causes those annoying watery eyes and runny noses.)
44. Vitamin D (Calciferol, Viosterol, Ergosterol, “Sunshine Vitamin”)

I will take 2000 mg every 2-3 hours when I feel sick. Doesn’t bother me at all, excess gets peed out and, btw most vitamin pills are hard and don’t completely break down anyway so more is better when you really need it. I Make sure to get 5000-15000 iu vitamin d also throughout the day. And 25-40 mg zinc a day while sick.

This is what I do. Read up on mega dosing to make your own decision, I’m not a holistic specialist.

Don't do mega doses with ascorbic acid.

You could get spider veins and liver scarring.

Use plant based vitamin C.

Like camu camu powder.

When I was sick I was taking 10k MG with no ill side effect.

Take to bowl tolerance then! Kind of a guessing game.

But also make sure you drink lots of water. I find high dose slightly dehydrates me (probably from the pooping lol)

You should first be aware of the fact that ascorbic acid is not the same as vitamin C complexes which are present in foods.

Second, human body cannot fully absorb plant based vitamin C.

Best option is to eat animal products which contain vit C, as their bioavailability are better.

Imagine being so retarded that you take supplements everyday.

Fucking braindead clowns all of you.

Absolutely no hope for people today.

From what I understand, sodium ascorbate is the best supplement form to fight viruses.

You recommend YOUR diet...? Pizza rolls and HotPockets...?

.

All based on bowel tolerance

Who rips on vitamins and minerals?
13 year olds?

Hahaha
You are totally insane
You need it lengthwise with no vasoline, because who needs vaoline? Get a life

Your body will only absorb so much vitamin C. Take 5 or the whole bottle your body will just pass it through.

Your options around this is the to take lypo spheric vitamin C. It tricks your body at the molecular level to absorb more. The more you take the more you absorb. This is great if you are getting sick.

My wife gets vitamin C infusion. It's an iv and the best way for your body to absorb massive amounts which is what you want. My 86 year old neighbor was fighting her terminal cancer for years with infusions and no other treatments.

Age won't matter unless you have destroyed your gut by a lifetime of wrong diet. Old chaps should still be able to get their vitamins through meat and organs easily. Supplements are total scam.

Usually you start at about 2 grams and work up, to the level of it becoming stool softener. Then you back down a bit, if you want the maximum, and you're taking powder. 1/4 teaspoon is usually 1 gram, but lipsomal C, you take a little less and more circulates. So when sick people often take up to 10 grams, often 6 grams is the stool softening level, but everyone is different.

Its best to take it say 2 grams several times a day.

I can never remember so take more at once when I'm taking it.

If it upsets your system a little creamo in tea or on berries helps.

Its been used for snake bites and fast allergic reactions in 50 gram amounts, which would purge your system ie stool softener. In intravenous its often 30 grams or more certain types or grades only. Vit C foundation has alot of information on it and protocols.
