Usually iuse about 2 grams per day.

During times of stress i may bump this to 10 grams per day

I do 15 grams a day and when I am sick I bang it up to 30g or until I get the shits. Johan will have plenty to say, he is the Vitamin C guru

8-10 grams of sodium ascorbate per day. i spread it out as much as possible, trying not to take much more than 1g per hour. And yes...Johan is the man when it comes to C.

Using Sodium ascorbate is pretty important for me. If I try taking anything over about 3 grams of ascorbic acid, I get the shits. Sodium ascorbate is much much easier on the intestines. A little more expensive, but when mega-dosing on Vit. C. it is well worth it.

if your taking over a couple grams per day over a long period of time than you can develop kidney stones. You don't need more than a couple grams anyways becuase you will just piss out the excess that your body can't use and you are wasting your product.

Johan might get on ya for that one

thats exactly why you need a constant dose throughout the day..yes it goes through you and expends what is not needed...much like ummm water...

are we talking bout vit C... 10 grams a day?!

well ok, i take 500 mg to 1000 a day.... i really don't think 10 grams a day will change you(imo)

but i guess do whatever yopur brain says

Myka - constant low doses maybe, but not exceedingly high constant doses. University studies have shown that people consuming more than a couple grams of Vit.-C per day are at high risk of developing kidney stones. You really don't need more than a couple grams of Vitamin C per day. I don't take more than a gram or 2 a day unless I'm sick. But, take what I tell you and do what you want with it. Its your body...
