Vitamin C is a water soluable vitamin, whatever your body doesn't need it will get rid of it in your urine.

I don't know about the Echinacea, but too much Vitamin C and your pee turns orangish. I do not believe it is possible to overdose on Vitamin C from natural sources, but I would worry about kidney damage from an actual mega-overdose.

You can't od on Vitamin C, any extra that the body cannot absorb will be spilt into the urine and your urine will smell vitaminey. As far as the echinacea, since it's herbal, there will likely be no ill effects unless one is sensitive to it or allergic. From what little I've read, up to 3000mg a day is fine. I would guess that, if any, side effects may be upset stomach or some other digestive upset.

You can't really OD on vitamin C. The body does a great job of eliminating it. Actually, that' the reason you have to make sure you always get enough. I'm not certain about Echinacea, though I imagine you can't OD on it either. They recently proved it does NOTHING for the body.

back in time they thought it caused kidney stones, but the experts don't have any solid proof of any harmful side effects. but if you take a lot of vitamin c it can give you diarrhea and stomachaches. and 2 it doesn't matter what you take you can overdose on anything, some things don't cause as much damage as others but anything that you take has there side effects. so always be careful with what you take into your body and how much you take.

I've heard that if you consume a lot of Vitamin C (probably 3000mg +), it will give you diarrhea.
Otherwise, it just makes your pee super concentrated. You pee out all of the vitamin C you don't need/use.

Vitamin C should be consumed with food if you take it in higher quantities. It is acid & can be hard on your stomach.

Keep a little water glass, which you must refill often, instead of a sizable water bottle on your workplace.
