Hi ,

A doc recently told me that one could take as much as 10 gr a day of Vit C.

He explained the process. Basically one cannot absorb more than X (1 gr?) a day.

But the way it works is that the rest, which is eliminated (in the urine),

carries the debris and toxins that are " cleaned up " by the Vit E (that's why you

should also take some vit E, with food or supplements.

But he warned me that I would get diarrhea with higher doses. Sure enough, when

I started doing over 2 gr a day (I was planning to raise to 4, but not all of a

sudden), I got diarrhea. After that I learnt that ascorbic acid is an irritant,

and should be taken with care.

I am now back on 1 gr, and may try again to rise the dose.

How did you start with your 5 gr a day? All of a sudden or you increased it

slowly?

Did you get any diarrhea?

started with a little C then gradually worked my way up to 5 grams - I fluctuate

sometimes like getting 5-7 grams a day. I havent reached BTL (bowel tolerance

level) yet so obviously my body is using it all and hasnt reached its flow-over

peak. So I'm sticking with 5-10 gr. for now.

Only if the regulare/plain abscorbic acid(AC) is really causing a problem for

someone....ought they switch to a buffered or ester form. (the ester-form is

more expensive)

You are actually unaware that commercial vitamin C, & others too, is

99% pharmaceutical chemicals. Your body does not like pharmaceutical

chemicals in ANY form. Your body tries to get rid of it. If you take

1000 mg of vitamin C your body is using only about 10-100mg of it and is

pushing out 900mg of vitamin. That is why you get diarrhea. The old

saw from doctors is that all you get is expensive urine and that is way

too true in the case of pharmaceutical chemical vitamins. However, our

bodies are designed to need vitamins and we are designed to grab

vitamins out of our diet. If you get your vitamin C from fruits and

veggies or from a food matrix vitamin you will get the full effect of

the vitamins. These food matrix or food form vitamins are VERY hard to

find. I use one and I can tell I take a vitamin/mineral supplement even

though I get way less in volume than I used to in my Centrum or other

drug store vitamins. The same goes for minerals if your minerals come

from your food you get more of it. If you buy drug store minerals they

are just scraped off rust and ground up rocks. No matter how finely

they grind it it is still just ground up rocks. However, if those

minerals were planted at the roots of your favorite veggie, the plant

predigests the minerals and concentrates them in their stems leaves and

fruit --fully usable by your body. Minerals are absolutely necessary

for many of the vitamins to even be able to work. Taking one without

the other co-factor minerals makes it a waste of money and time.

The bad part of drug store vitamins is those pharmaceutical chemicals

are seen by the body as just another toxin to remove in the liver. In

other words it becomes just another stress on our immune system. I

have one friend about ten years ago who took megadoses of vitamins to

get healthier but he died of liver failure. If your vitamins and

minerals come from food, however, you don't need megadoses just to get

what your body needs. 2 grams of store vitmin C gives you 200 mg of

usable vitamin C so if you get enough food form vitamin C you only need

about 200 mg of that.

How do you tell if your vitamin C has chemicals? If the label says

ascorbic acid, it is pharmaceutical chemical. If it says vitamin C from

rose hips or some other plant then you are getting the full volume in a

usable form in your body.

>Hi, The way to take vit c in larger doses is to get a powdered highy

buffered form such as Null's Suprema C (available for sure at

www.garynull.com) or Twin Labs Ascorbate C often availbe in health

food stores. start with 1/8 teaspoon in 8-10 ounces of water EVERY 2

hours, about six times a day. Back off a dosage if you have G.I.

distress. Add 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon every two weeks if possible. Using

this method you should be able to build up your dosage in time. It is

woth it so please be patient.

I know vit. C is a natural antiviral - I take at least 5 grams a day -

does anyone here take large doses of vit. C daily? - I know Linus

ing took over 10 gr. a day and other doctors had success treating

cancer/aids to varying degrees with high dose vit. C(intervaneously).

The Vitamin C Foundation has good info. on C and its applications -

anything synthetic is less good for our bodies than eating it in the entire orange.. There are many other things that are in oranges that contibute to the entire goodness and nutrition in the fruit whereas taking a vit c tablet only has the isolated vitamin and not the fiber and other enzymes and nutrients that the orange has.. does that make sense?Sheena <mom4possums2002@...> wrote: Then are you saying that C pills or capsules can elevate iron, but natural C from fresh oranges does

hello:) my doc says, that everything, that i can do for my body during therapy is to take antioxidants, which means, among others, vit E and C. vit C is demanded, when you want iron to be better assimilated, but we shouldnt worry, that vit C alone will elevate our iron too much. during therapy, we just sholudnt take iron, because it can stay in our liver, and be very dangerous for us. regards ikoSheena <mom4possums2002@...> wrote: Then are you saying that C pills or capsules can elevate iron, but natural C from fresh oranges does not?

My Doctor also recommended I take a 1000mg of Vit C and also take Vit E while on treatment. I understand that getting Vit from food is always better but I can't eat anything citrus for other reasons so I guess I'll have to risk my iron level. I just had it checked by the way and it was around 130 or so, don't remember the actual number. So I assume that is okay, yes?

yes ally, that sounds ok,, and if you need vit c, then take it just dont take it with iron containing foods such as fortified cereal like Cream of Wheat, or with red meat which has higher levels of iron than chicken or fish,, just ask your doc to watch your ferritin level,, he can order that with any blood test he does to make sure it doesnt rise too much, but I have a feeling that it will be just fine.. jax <4thMoon@...> wrote: My Doctor also recommended I take a 1000mg of Vit C and

I agree Ido,, antioxidants are good for the liver,, and with hep c, our livers can be short of glutathione and antioxidants help with that,, iko sikorska <skorpion78@...> wrote: hello:) my doc says, that everything, that i can do for my body during therapy is to take antioxidants, which means, among others, vit E and C. vit C is demanded, when you want iron to be better assimilated, but we shouldnt worry, that vit C alone will elevate our iron too much. during

Thanks Jax, I will definitely be aware of what I am eating when I take it then. I do eat red meat occasionally but will be more careful. I forget to read labels sometimes so this is a good reminder for me.

yes ally, that sounds ok,, and if you need vit c, then take it just dont take it with iron containing foods such as fortified cereal like Cream of Wheat, or with red meat which has higher levels of iron than chicken or fish,, just ask your doc to watch your ferritin level,, he can order that with any blood test he does to make sure it doesnt rise too much, but I have a feeling that it will be just fine..

Well, I take my Vit C at the crack of dawn (430am) and before bed so that should take care of it.
