A member asked:
What is the maximal absorbtion of vitamin c?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: Good question. For those who encourage increasing your vitamin C intake like Linus Pauling. They talk about bowel tolerance or the point where the dose causes diarrhea. Practitioners that advocate taking extra C will say take a dose till you get loose stools then back off. For many people this is between 1 or 2 grams. Although for some higher and some lower.
