It's quite hard to take too much vitamin C. I read in a magazine about 6 years ago that too much is poisonous, but that study was found to be a 'load of crap'.
Too much vitamin C will give you diarreah, but you need to take about 20-30 grams for that (the biggest tablets anyone does are 1 gram/1000 mg).
If you're taking supplements, one a day plus all the orange juice you can drink will not do you any harm at all.

Vitamin C or Ascorbic Acid does not become toxic because your kidneys will filter it out quickly. The other vitamins such as D will reach toxic levels because their excretion route is different

it depends... on what form do you take the vitamin C into your body?? like pills? fruits? I don't know what happen if you take too much (i don't know how much is too much) vitamin C pills, but if you take too much vitamin C in a form of food, fruits, or drinks, your stomach would be full of acids inside, it would create heartburns, due to too much acids in the stomach (sometimes eaten up ur stomach, yes! the acid..), and not enought P.H (base) in the stomach.

if u'r taking artificial vitamin C you will adequate to that medicine and then it will reduce the absorb rate of of natural vitamin C. so don't use too much vitamin C tablets. try to natural fruits it will give u the required vitamin C level

Vitamin C is water soluble so your body will eventually wash out any excess. You might get the squits for a day or two but that's all. You won't die!

vitamin c is very good for health.
however if you take more vit c it will washed away by urin.
because vit c is soluble to water.
but you will have to be carefull. vit c along with iron(3) can cause cancer. latest reserch by Dr. Fazlul Huq in University of Sydney show that, iron along vit c is carsoganic.
so leave iron(3) with vit c.
