no, i don't think so. vitamin C is water soluble, basically that means you pee out the excess nutrients. Fat soluble vitamins can become toxic because your body stores them in your tissues and can retain toxic levels.

Yes, it is. Too much Vitamin C can cause diarrhea and, on an empty stomach, acid indigestion. However, Vitamin C has a low toxicity; it would take an ingestion of 833,000 mg (1.8 lbs.) by a 70 kg (154 lbs.) human for the Vitamin C to have a 50% chance of fatality, if ingested rapidly.

Vitamin C you get from eating fruits like orange or grapefruit. This vitamin from fruits or vegetables is never toxic in excessive dose because it is natural and can be easily removed from body.
Vitamin C is of course also taken as pill. there are different doses. Usually it is 500 mg, which u take only once a day. Overdose of vitamin C from pills may have negative effects.
You won't overdose by drinking water. water is never overdose. it is recommended to drink 8 glasses of water each day. Remember just it hasx to be pure water (no additions, no sugar,no vitamins)
ask doctor or nutritient for more information.

YES!!! Don't ever take more than one vitamin c tablet a day. You can overdose. I know someone who overdosed on clementines. He ended up in the hospital. He ate a lot of them though. You can even overdose on water. Remember, keep everything in moderation and you'll be safe. Hope it helps!

Vit C is ascorbic acid. It will burn as it comes out in the urine if there is too much in the system (the acid)
