What happens when vitamin C is eaten too much?

Taking too much vitamin C can be fatal.

Vitamin C is a non-toxic nutrient, but it will be harmful if it is consumed more than 8 grams a day. Symptoms include nausea, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, excessive iron absorption, destruction of red blood cells, increased bone mineral metabolism, blocked anticoagulant therapy, increased plasma cholesterol, and may be dependent on large doses of vitamin C.

Taking large doses of vitamin C can lead to hemolysis, which may be fatal in severe cases. Human cells and tissues will adapt to this environment if they are soaked in high concentration of vitamin C for a long time. Once the drug is stopped suddenly, the concentration of vitamin C in the body will decrease, leading to the symptoms of vitamin C deficiency.

Eating too much vitamin C is not only meaningless, but also probably counterproductive. Because there is too much vitamin C around white blood cells, it can not only prevent white blood cells from destroying germs, but also protect germs and cancer cells. Excessive vitamin C can not only enhance human immunity, but also weaken it.

Special reminder, don't take vitamin C at will like eating jelly beans.
