What happens if you get too much vitamin c?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Vitamin C: Too much vitamin C will give you the runs. If this happens, back off the dose about 10 % until they stop. Taken orally, vitamin C lasts about 12 hours in your body. Better to take smaller doses twice daily. Peace and good health.
