Question 1

how many vitamin c pills 500mg is required per day for an adult person?till how many mg its safe?....plz reply

Accepted Answer

Vitamin C: Vit C is water soluble which means we don't store it. Two mammals humans and guinea pigs do not produce vit C, therefore in times of stress and injury when we need it most we have to get it orally. That said, there really is no toxicity dose. Vit C can cause dyspepsia, diarrhea. I usually recommend 1000mg 4 to 5 times a day when needed. Excess just gets excreted and not stored anyway. Take 500 TID

Question 2

is high doses of vitamin c safe when pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Vitamin C is a safe vitamin in pregnancy.  The vitamin that you have to be aware of not taking too much is vitamin A. You never want to 'overdose' on vitamins of any kind as they can upset your stomach and gastrointestinal tract.  Another important Vitamin in pregnancy is Vitamin D.  Some obstetricians will check a woman's baseline Vitamind D at the beginning of pregnancy.  Hope that helps!

Question 3

is it safe to take 1g of vitamin c each day?

Accepted Answer

Vitamin C: Generally yes, only concern would be a personal history of kidney stone.

Question 4

is it safe to take 1, 000mg of vitamin c per day?

Accepted Answer

Yes: This amount is a reasonable dose, although recommendations can vary widely depending on source or reason for taking it. The best way to get any vitamin is through your diet. If you take additional vit c be aware many otc supplements add it, so the total dose can get high fast. High doses of vit c usually cause diarrhea first, and yellow urine.Megadoses should be used cautiously. Vitamins are drugs.

Question 5

is it safe to take 10,000 mg of vitamin c every day?

Accepted Answer

No: The recommended daily allowance is 90 mg for men and 75 mg for women. High doses of vitamin C (greater than 2000 mg/day for adults) may cause kidney stones, nausea, and diarrhea

Question 6

is vitamin c 1000 safe for the baby? i have consumed it more than 1 week jow without realizing it may be bad for the baby. am now in 5th week

Accepted Answer

Vitamin C: Vitamin c is relatively safe, but avoid taking large dosages of any vitamin. Instead take a "prenatal vitamin" meant for pregnancy with extra folic acid, iron, etc.

Question 7

hi. i have heard that applying vitamin c serum is safe for skin. is it true?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There are many topical versions of vitamin c incorporated into skin creams. The most potent versions include the l ascorbic acid combined with vitamin e and ferrulic acid.

Question 8

is it safe to take vitamin c while pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Yes: In recommended standard doses, yes.  You probably already have enough in your prenatal vitamin.  Taking "more" vitamins and minerals in the form of supplements does not improve health.

Question 9

does taking vitamin c cause miscarriage? is this safe?

Accepted Answer

No: Vitamin C in reasonable doses will not do anything to cause miscarriage.  Rather than spending $ on vitamins why don't you eat fresh fruits?  Best wishes and have a good baby.

Question 10

is 500mg of vitamin c safe to consume daily without any harm to the kidneys?

Accepted Answer

Yes: But it will not likely do much to improve your health (unless you are a 100% carnivore).  Taking vit C along with iron (if you need it) helps to improve absorption. No,it will not hurt your kidney.
