    Bio C (Vitamin C) - since 2016
    Collagen 6000 mg - since 2019

    Calcium Magnesium Zinc - since 2015, I stopped 2019 kasi sabi ni StockEngine it builds plaque sa heart

    I'm thinking of adding the following:

    Vitamin D3 1000 iu
    VItamin E 400 iu
    Glutathione - 250 mg (this is good if taken with Vit C daw)
    Zinc - I cannot find zinc alone, it's always with another vitamin (eg calc mag or mag)
    .
    Am I taking too much
    Where do you buy your medicines any reputable online stores? When im buying vitamins online im wary that it might be fake.

    I'd love to go against the supps culture... burn these pharmas down, i'm kidding.

    a minority brainwashed thinking they'd get away with supps is a "meh" , an open discussion i guess...

    I've been taking Bio C from Unicity for several years now. I just read the label and it contains only 60 mg of Vit C!!! Is that enough? Don't we need 500 mg? I like this because it does not make me acidic e kasi pala ang baba ng dosage It's around P1000 for 300 tabs (P3 per tab)

    Fern C 500 mg is okay din, I don't get acidic pero ang mahal!!! Parang almost P10 tab

    Inisip ko rin Ester C from Solgar but it's about the same price as Fern C

    1000mg is abit much according to NIH for some groups...


    Health Risks from Excessive Vitamin C
    Vitamin C has low toxicity and is not believed to cause serious adverse effects at high intakes [8]. The most common complaints are diarrhea, nausea, abdominal cramps, and other gastrointestinal disturbances due to the osmotic effect of unabsorbed vitamin C in the gastrointestinal tract [4,8].

    In postmenopausal women with diabetes who participated in the Iowa Women’s Health Study, supplemental (but not dietary) vitamin C intake (at least 300 mg/day) was significantly associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease mortality [61]. The mechanism for this effect, if real, is not clear and this finding is from a subgroup of patients in an epidemiological study. No such association has been observed in any other epidemiological study, so the significance of this finding is uncertain. High vitamin C intakes also have the potential to increase urinary oxalate and uric acid excretion, which could contribute to the formation of kidney stones, especially in individuals with renal disorders [8]. However, studies evaluating the effects on urinary oxalate excretion of vitamin C intakes ranging from 30 mg to 10 g/day have had conflicting results, so it is not clear whether vitamin C actually plays a role in the development of kidney stones [8,87-89]. The best evidence that vitamin C contributes to kidney stone formation is in patients with pre-existing hyperoxaluria [25].

    Due to the enhancement of nonheme iron absorption by vitamin C, a theoretical concern is that high vitamin C intakes might cause excess iron absorption. In healthy individuals, this does not appear to be a concern [8]. However, in individuals with hereditary hemochromatosis, chronic consumption of high doses of vitamin C could exacerbate iron overload and result in tissue damage [4,8].

    Under certain conditions, vitamin C can act as a pro-oxidant, potentially contributing to oxidative damage [8]. A few studies in vitro have suggested that by acting as a pro-oxidant, supplemental oral vitamin C could cause chromosomal and/or DNA damage and possibly contribute to the development of cancer [8,90,91]. However, other studies have not shown increased oxidative damage or increased cancer risk with high intakes of vitamin C [8,92].

    Other reported effects of high intakes of vitamin C include reduced vitamin B12 and copper levels, accelerated metabolism or excretion of ascorbic acid, erosion of dental enamel, and allergic responses [8]. However, at least some of these conclusions were a consequence of assay artifact, and additional studies have not confirmed these observations [8].

    The FNB has established ULs for vitamin C that apply to both food and supplement intakes (Table 3) [8]. Long-term intakes of vitamin C above the UL may increase the risk of adverse health effects. The ULs do not apply to individuals receiving vitamin C for medical treatment, but such individuals should be under the care of a physician [8].
