A member asked:
Is 1,000 milligram vitamin c (l ascorbic) bad for me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
1 K mg of Vitamin C: is not bad for you. The half-life of C in the body is about 12 hours. Better to split the dose into a.m. and p.m. doses. You can also take 1K in a.m. and 1K in p.m. Peace and good health.
