    Only 15mg or 10mg? Don't you mean grams, bro? I take 8g ED, currently, and have taken as much as 12g ED.

    I read in Optimum Sports Nutrition that Dr. Micheal Colgan believes that high doses of Vitamin C will boost test levels. I immediately tried this and wake up with fierce morning wood. Have you heard anything about Vitamin C boosting test levels? Thanks Johan.

    Is that Van-Damme?

    Yo tambien, Chest. When I took Vitamin C at 12g ED, it was the morning wood that you have put an ice pack on . I always try to sneak out of the bedroom to go to the bathroom so my girlfriend doesn't see it. I never want to have sex with a piss-boner .

    Im gonna respond to this later today. Dont have time now heading for university.

    But vitamin c is one of, if not the safest substance known to man. Not even huge iv infusion of several hundrad grams day has caused any side effects except sligt hypoglycemia and headaches. This is all pretty well documented

    Bump for more info.. Is this standard Vit C or Citric acid we are talking about taking.

    I have taken high doses of Ascorbic acid before to lose some water retention and it worked but it also ripped my insides out (Spent most of the days in the bathroom) it seems to agitate/activate your digestive system because I really thought I was never going to get back to normal.

    I think VitC has its benefits but how long do these symptoms last, I have never been able to get past the sides and what is the best kind to take (safest)?

    Il start with this.

    Vitamin c does not cause or worsen cancer
    http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/f-w01/cancer.html
    http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/sp-su98/other.html

    Yes vitamin c can acctualy work as a pro oxidant. This is not in any way a bad thing though. I cant remember the exact mechanism now but regular cells contain small amounts of a substance needed for the vit c pro oxidant effect to occur. While cancer cells contains tremendous ammounts of that substance. So vitamin c activly kills cancer cells.

    Key word here is if taking iron supplements. One should NOT take iron supplements when mega dosing vitamin c. There is no need whatsoever. About inflamations, vitamin c helps somewhat against it

    I can give you my personal experience with it

    I get ALOT more energy.
    it made me drop fat without changing my diet.
    It has COMPLETELY cured my knees that was previously so bad that I feared surgery.
    I have succesfully beaten a abcess and several colds with megadosages of vitamin c.
    I "feel" more healthy and energetic in some way I cant properly define.
    Its boosts insulin sensitivity so much that I can go slight hypo if Im not used to it.
    It seems to help with soreness.

    Not even gonna get into all its positive effects against disease, aging, free radical damage ect....

    Hands down the best supplement I have ever taken. I will continue to take 15-20grams of sodium ascorbate for the rest of my life without any doubt at all.

    Not flat out lies. But missintepretations and fear mongering. Kind of todays equivalent to the old "vitamin c cause kidney stone" myth.

    BTW our ancestors got around 5grams of vitamin c/Day from the food they ate. Monkeys have a RDI of 3 grams. Yet the human RDI is set to 70mg
    A comon pig produces 10grams/day of ascorbic acid and when sic uppwards to 20 grams.

    So go ahead with the experiment

    If you dont have a sensitive stomach go with ascorbic acid. Otherwise go with sodium ascorbate(do not use any other kind of ascorbate).

    Well my stomach is a damn sissy when it come to digestion so I'll have to use the sodium ascorbate. I assume that it is a product readily available in most pharmacies and health food stores, right?

    yeah my stomach is a wimp aswell.

    You can find sodium ascorbate pretty much everywhere. It can be found DIRT cheap online. Dont go with the pills, go with the powder. Spread it out over 3-5 servings each day.

    Won't all that sodium cause a ton of water retention?

    As far as the digestion, I only have a problem digesting alot of protein so I would think the extra acid would help me in digestion

    there is not much sodium in sodium ascorbate. Cant remember exact amount but not that many miligrams for each gram. Vitamin c is a little diuretic anyway so any possible water retention by the sodium would be negated by that effect. Drink plenty of water though since I notice its easy to get headaches from lots of sodium ascorbate of getting dehydrated.

    You should give digestion enzymes a go bro and probiotics.

    I take acidophilus like it was candy. The good stuff that you have to keep refrigerated, not the cheap pills. I think I'm gonna give that probiotics a shot because I am actually losing sleep at night from farting so much.

    bifidobacterium seems to help me alot. Also try and boatload on psyllium seeds, maby 2 mouthfulls everyday. It cleans out the intestines proper.

    I used to fart like no other but nowdays it has calmed down alot

    cool thanks I will order sodium ascorbate and start on it.. I have taken 6 grams of ascorbic acid and my stomach is hurting really bad today. I thought maybe that is what it is..

    Cool thanks.. I remember you saying something about it helping joints a while back and I never got a chance to try it but I am going to do it now because my cycle (including Deca ) is coming to an end and this is a good time to try it out.

    I will post my results.

    Honestly I think you guys should look into Ascorbyl Palmitate

    As your may be able to recieve the same benefits you claim without having to use such mega doses and potential for problems in the future.

    Vit C is water solubleso it is excreted by the body very very quickly thus your need to mega dose

    Ascorbyl Palmitate is basically a fat soluble form of Vit C you guys should really look into this as another option

    keep in mind though as with most fat soluble vitamins mega dosing can be potentially toxic so you dont really have the option of huge mega doses with this.


    ......But you might not even need to mega dose with this option

    to be honest I dont se the use in having fat soluble vitamin c unless in a creme or to treat sunburn or other wounds. Especialy not with the price difference.

    this is a qute from dr tom levy(IMO the number 1 vitamin c expert in the world now, advisor to poliquin(sp?) on vitamin c treatment) on fat souble vitamin c

    http://www.tomlevymd.com/archiveissue9.htm
    Ascorbyl Palmitate

    Ascorbyl palmitate is another form of vitamin C that is somewhat unique in that it has both water-soluble and fat-soluble qualities. It is touted by some as a superior delivery form of vitamin C as ascorbate into the body. This has not really been clearly proven, and even if it were, ascorbyl palmitate would be a very expensive way to provide daily multi-gram doses of ascorbate. The fat-soluble qualities of ascorbyl palmitate do make it a good form of vitamin C to include in various skin creams and other dermatological preparations.
