    Exclamation Interesting Question, VIT C

    hey bro's its been awhile since ive posted on here....jus been reading alot ...
    one thing i have been curious about as of lately has been the consumption of VITAMIN C...i have read of heard of few on this board and others talk about taking in a extensive amount of vit c like say around 15 grams or so....then ive read other places that say more than 2-3 grams is overkill......so before i get into some stuff that im not 100% sure about, im comming to you all for your help and opinions.....so tell me what you think bro's.......ALL OPINIONS WELCOME!!!, thanks again!

    haha..yea your definatly overkilling it on 15g a day of vitamin c ive been taking vit c for 3 days now at 3g a day and it doesnt seem to have made any difference yet..not sure how long it takes or whatever but im waiting to see just my two cents if you are to take it id reccomend 2-5 g a day at most and also spread it out throughout the day because vit c goes right through you i read that it has a 30 min. halflife in your body so whatevers not absorbed is pissed out....hope this helps

    I take between 2-12g daily. Whenever I feel like I'm getting sick, I go with the 12g. On PCT, I like 12g, as well. I learned that Vitamin C is a good natural test booster from Dr. Micheal Colgan.

    ester-c is far more absorbable.

    Do you take glucosamine-chondroitin or something of that nature, as well?
