You can never have too much vitamin C. I take 4 grams three times a day, and i never had any problems or reactions. sometimes it tend to make me a bit sleepy. Over time - yuor body builds up tolerance to ascorbic acid and can tolerate much more.
vitamin c is LIFE itself !!!! It is the most vital, critical nutrient of them all.

You are wasting a lot of money on Vitamin C. You are producing very expensive urine, as this is a water-soluble vitamin and is excreted in urine daily. Why are you taking so much if you already know that you are taking 4X the recommended dose? What are you looking for it to do to benefit you? Guess you won't tend to get colds. Many years ago Dr. Linus Pauling took massive Vitamin C doses daily and "swore" that it prevented the common cold, but it has been shown to be mostly fictional.

High levels of Vit C was once believed to cause kidney stones, but experts now say there is no solid evidence of dangerous side effects from vitamin C. High doses can produce stomachaches and diarrhea.
As it is water soluble, any Vit C will not stay in your system long anyway, hence the need for a regular intake.

All you're having is expensive urine. The body will through out the excess vitamin C.
