Likely no: vitamin C is water-soluble, and acts as a free-radical fighter, helping to protect mitochondrial function. It is very hard to take too much to cause symptoms. The adverse effect of too much vitamin D is nephrocalcinosis, calcium deposition in the kidney, but that also is very rare. Almost half the population in the US have vitamin D levels which are not optimum. Get a 25-hydroxy vitamin D level.
