at 2000mg per day you start getting uric acid & oxalate in the urine which isn't a good thing.

at high doses vitamin C actually become s PRO oxidant rather than an anti-oxidant which can cause problems.

I'd be careful saying that.

I thought I saw that Sixpack takes like 4g's a day.

It is the truth but some pro-oxidants can be helpful, no? Though Vit C in crazy doeses isn't.

Out of curiosity, how would a pro-oxidant be helpful?

Layne, would ester C allow you to up the dosage safely?

i don't really think a pro-oxidant would be helpful.

and no i don't think ester-C would make a difference

I've read a News and Observer newspaper article in the past that said that in high dosages vitamin C could actually cause damage, the opposite of its normal anti oxident effects..., but that this was controversial....The guy they mentioned in this article said he usually took 2 grams/day...the max suggested in the article was around 800mg or a gram I think.

I am the mighty pro oxidant. I am helpful in that I cause damage to DNA, lipids, and proteins. I help the cell signal apoptosis and die. Yes, I am that helpful. Although most people consider my effects harmful.
