I love taking vitamin c tablets like candy throughout the day because I have an addiction to the tangy ones. I try not to go above 3000 MG although I know 2000 is the upper limit or something that someone should be taking at maximum. But I want to know if I keep my nasty vice going without hurting myself?

Edit: okay I’ve looked over the comments and hear you guys loud and clear. Cutting back to 1000mg a day and hopefully one day, down to just one pill. Thank you for the comments!

    Although too much dietary vitamin C is unlikely to be harmful, large doses of vitamin C supplements might cause:

    Diarrhea Nausea Vomiting Heartburn Stomach (abdominal) cramps Headache

    Remember, for most people, a healthy diet provides enough vitamin C.
