A member asked:

I took vitamin c supplement 1000 mg per day.is that can cause bad effect to my body? too much acid?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

This is okay: It's unlikely to do you any good or harm. The people who get into trouble with Ascorbic Acid have taken more than ten times this much. I'm going to assume you have normal kidney function. Thanks for writing.
