vitamin c dosage

[Guest guest]

Hi to all,

I am not new on this group but it's the first time to write. I am very,

very pleased to find this group. I supposed that I know a lot of thing

about CMT. But now I realized that I didn't know anything.

I began to use Vit c. I remember you mentioned about the dosage. But I

can't find where it is. Can you tell me again what the dosage are you

using per a day? I saw an Italian scientist research on the net. He

began his work this summer.(I can't afford to read all messages from

you because of my bad English,maybe you had mentioned it.)He tries to

learn the effects of vitamin c on human. The dosage 1500mg per a

day.Isnt'it too much per a day? Maybe I can't understand.

Thanks

Hi Nilufer,

My nutritionist told me that one can take very high doses of C as long as you

drink water, and also you will know if the dosage gets too high when you start

to have " loose stools " otherwise known as diarrhoea.

I am going to go back on my nutrition regime when my house work is done. I

will be taking 1000 mg to start and then increasing to about 4000 mg I think. I

purchased time release C as that seemed to be recommended by those on the site.

Best wishes from London,

Hi Donna,

Now I am using 3000mg a day. I don't know if it can help or not. I

will try.

Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Love

Nilufer

P.S: My English is not so good. So maybe I can't find the right word.

Hope,you will understand.

From my experience you will need more then 3000mg a day of time release.

Nilufer:

As to dosage, I am 61 years old and weigh 225 lbs. I take 8 grams (8000

mg) per day. I don't have the loose stool issue as all the other meds

I take bind me up pretty well.

Who says that that " Better lives through Chemistry " is a bad thing?

Hi to all,

As I said earlier I am very pleasad to find this group. I take

vitamin c as a sandoz. It contains calcium also. In here(I live in

Turkey) I can't find pure vitamin c tablets. And I worry about calcium

high dosage. What can calsium cause when it is taken too much? Maybe

I had better find pure vitamin c.

I am embrassed to say, but I can't understand the meaning of " timed

release vitamin c " .Is it something like that: " per a day "

Love

Hi Nilufer,

" Timed release " is a slow release of vitamin c in your body. The vitamin will

stay in your body for several hours longer than 'regular release.'

Nilufer,

Would they sell Vitamin C in Turkey as " asorbic " ? I know in France I buy

chewable asorbique tablets in the winter, they are really nice there

compared with the ones they sell in the UK. They are the same thing, in the

winter I was taking these regularly (throughout the day) to avoid sickness.

All the best from London,

Donna

Hi Donna,

It is not the chewable ones. I put the tablet in water and I drink

it.It tastes like lemonade. I like the taste of it. But one tablet is

1000mg and each bottle contains only 10 tablets. It is not enough for

us(for my sister & brother and me). We finish a bottle per a day,still

it is not the helpful dosage.I try to look for an economical ones:)I

hope I can find.

Love

Nilufer
