Can i consume 1000mg of vitamin c soluble daily?
By the title, is it okay to consume 1000mg of vitamin c soluble everyday? I’ve been doing it for this past couple of weeks and wondering if 1000mg is okay?

Thank you for your question
For adults, the recommended daily amount for vitamin C is 65 to 90 milligrams (mg) a day, and the upper limit is 2,000 mg a day. Although too much dietary vitamin C is unlikely to be harmful, megadoses of vitamin C supplements might cause: diarrhea and nausea.
Vitamin C is water-soluble, so any excess is usually excreted in the urine rather than stored in the body.
