Re: Vitamin C intake & cracked lips

[Guest guest]

Overdosing on One Vitamin is always dodgy. It unbalances other....

I think Vit C helps to dislodge Calcium among others - check it out

Classic example of why we do not trim our posts. I answered based on iodine not Vit C.

Cracked lips can be from a deficiency in Vit C and Vit A.

Thanks Steph,

but that doesn’t make any sense, since there are 2 (?) types of Vitamin C,

I thought maybe switching types would help. These deep, painful cracks

will go away within a day or two when I stop the Vitamin C but I don’t

like to do that. I’ve heard of it before but no solution.

Years ago a

Homeopathic Physician told me that for people that get cracked lips from

Vitamin C, she gives AMLA to them.

Hi Bonnie,I was getting cracks in the skin above my lips. I heard a Naturopath on the radio one nite and he said this is a lack of B vitamins. I started taking SAMe for rheumatoid 2 months ago and the brand I bought has all the B vitamins with the SAMe. Cracks have just about healed. I take only 1,500 of VC.R u taking the B vitamins as well ? B vitamins might work for you - just my uneducated opinion.Jess

Hi Jess:

Yes, I’m

taking all the companion nutrients and I’m okay if I stay below 2,600 mg.

of Vitamin C but if I go over that – OUCH, it even hurts to smile. I

have read this in several places so I’m not the only one.
