Author Topic: What would changed your Vitamin C tolerance? (Read 2996 times)

Vitamin C always use to give me diarrhea if I took too much. I'm currently sick with some kind of cold, and I probably had like 6000 mg of Vitamin C yesterday (6 of those Emergen-C packs). It's not doing anything to me at all?

I've been doing a ton of Cardio for the last year (for no good reason), and am in really good shape. That's the only thing that's changed that I know of compared to last year.

Or could it be that these Emergen-C packs suck?

Aren't you supposed to take those high-dose vC things before you get sick?

Yes, but I was under the impression Vitamin C helped fight this shit too?

I started hitting each body part twice a week, and I think that's what did it. I haven't been sick in a year and a half.

I heard that reading too much into things changes vitamin C tolerance.

you realize your body can only orally absorb so much vit c, right? the rest just gets pissed out.

i think injecting bypasses this mechanism but i have yet to find any injectable vit c

Linus Pauling did a lot of work with vitamin C. A friend with a family connection to him had a lot of good things to say about vit C and cancer prevention. Maybe check out some of his work.

Pauling did, I think around 2 grams a day the rest you piss out.

When mega dosing vit- c a great way to go is lypo-spheric pacs. 98% bio-available and can raise serum levels twice as high as previously thought possible. Vitamin C is undervalued in our current diets and this should change.

You make a lot of shit posts, maybe reduce to 1g/day and see if it improves?

Why the fuck would someone take more than 1gr/day, to please your partner with a golden shower?

His research into virus protection using vitamin C could never be peer reviewed for accuracy. In other words no one ever got the results he did. Vitamin C is of course necessary for health but it doesn't do any kind of magic in cold prevention. Take to much when you got a cold and you can get dehydrated from diarrhea and get a painful stomach ache.

I believe Pauling took about 10 grams a day in crystal form (crystals mixed with water or juice).

Pauling used to get interviewed and written up a lot in the old health food magazines (in the 1980's) that were sent out for free by the health food stores.

Two grams a day really isn't anything special. Boyer Coe used to take about 8 grams a day.

Vince Gironda was a guru.

Pauling was a Nobel prize winning chemist, one of the most influential bio-chemists in history.

Look, if you want to take 250 mgs. of C with your Flintstones, then by all means...

60 min did a bit on it showing a death bed patient taking 25g twice a day. Worth watching its on YouTube.

Supposedly there were studies saying that just 500mg of vitamin C a day for years can cause oxidative damage (DNA mutations)...I read where it is supposedly is like "rust" in the body...I take it all with a grain of salt though. I do know that too much vitamin B6 will cause nerve damage and have heard of people getting tingling in the hands and feet from taking grams of vitamin C.
