A member asked:
I took 6000mg a day of vitamin c and i got my period after i didn't see it for a month (pregnant).. do i still have to go to a doctor for a check up?

Yes-: In general you should not exceed 2000 mg of Vit C a day- there are issues with it even though it is a water soluble vitamin. It can also cause problems with absorbing too much iron, which can cause very serious health issues. See you doctor to review your supplements and general health. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-living/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/vitamin-c/faq-20058030
