    If so what is the maximum amount, of vitamin C one should take. What are the negative effects of taking too much vitamin C? Please share here.

    Too much vitamin c equals diarrhoea.......and diarrhoea means loss of salts, minerals, nutrients and poor digestion. Altogether resulting in feeling flat and unrecovered.

    I take one vitamin c and zinc tablet every three days and try to keep topped up with vitamin c the other days with eating fresh fruit and vegetables (five a day is recommended).

      Just read a article about this it pretty much depends on how much your body can take in, so if you experience diarrhea you may need to cut back.
