Hey sifus out there,
can redoxon vitamin C be taken everyday, because it contains 1000mg of vitamin C , wouldn't it be overdose?

1000mg is fine.. however i recommend breaking it into 1/2 then take 2 times a day

i read from google that our recommended average intake of vitamin C is 75~90mg only

why break to half take 2 times? is that any better?

same as why don't you eat all 3 meals in the morning then afternoon and evening eat nothing?? is it the same?

vitamin c is a water soluble vitamin.
excess vitamin c is easily excreted by the body.
so it is not easy to overdose and cause toxic effect on the body.
1 pill of 1000mg vitamin c is fine

but if the body can only absorb 200mg then the 800mg will be wasted, right? so what for taking the 1000mg??

when i got flu i take 2k each day... 2 days heal d ^^

you misunderstood. i was talking about vitamin c clearance not absorption. but anyway :
vitamin c is well absorbed by the body. in fact almost 1000mg will be absorbed if taken.

It has been in practice that it is being taken once tablet everyday

I take Redoxan vit C 3x a day.

That's on top of Vit C supplements I take daily which is 2000 mg in the middle of the 3 main meals.

So far ok. I'm under a PT who told me that as long as I don't have diarrhoa, I should be ok.

I usually don't combine the Redoxan C just after I took the 2000 mg tablets. I usually take it before or after an hour or two after the 2000 mg tablets.

1000mg is fine.

but i read somewhere from google that our recommended vit c intake is 75~90mg

which site did u refer to? kindly post here so everyone can see it..

anyway this site shud and and its very reliable.
Vitamin C

correct. that is the daily requirement of vitamin c.
daily requirement is the minimum required to keep us healthy.
when we are ill, increased intake of vitamin c stimulates many of the body's system so that we get healthy faster.

the current upper safe intake is 2000mg. 1 of the sign of vitamin c toxic effect is diarrhea.

i take 2 everyday

you can take vitamin B and vitamin C all day but make sure u drink a lot of water


these vitamins are water soluble, so it will clear out of your system if there is excess easily

unlike A D E and K

that is RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance). it is different from ODI (Optimum Daily Intake).

RDA is the minimum required to prevent us away from disease symptoms, not to keep us healthy. You want healthy, ODI is required. (1000mg~3000mg)

diarrhea is not the toxic effect. it is a signs telling you that your body is enough for vitamin C currently and you need to stop taking it and reduce portion of the dosage.

Try to replace synthetic vitamin C to a natural one if u are affordable.

that's minimum.... for poor african kids in the sub sahara dessert

the upper safe limit differs from person 2 person.... but i believe for most asians it is 1k, unless u have a lot of physical activities then 2k would be good...

i dont think too much B is safe...

i'm 14 years old so i take 1 tablet enough la ^^
