ok. So, just today, I accidentally took a vitamin c supplement and a centrum multivitamin. Will this hurt me even though I just took too much today? What does tooo much vitamin C do to you?

You're okay. The worst case scenario of excessive Vitamin C is diarrhea. And it really takes a mega dose for that to happen. Many people take thousands of milligrams every day with no adverse side effects.

It's incredibly hard to overdose on vitamin C unless you already have a preexisting condition like sickle-cell anemia or kidney disease. Certainly a Centrum and a vitamin C supplement will not do anything to hurt you. You may get a mild stomachache or diarrhea, but apart from turning your pee bright-colored, you should be fine.

The main symptom of vitamin C overdose is harmless diarrhea. Don't worry.

your body takes what it needs of vitamin C and pees out the rest. you will be fine. that's why those tablets to get over a cold w/ 1000% vitamin c don't work.

nope any excess vitamin C you do not use will just be expelled, ever notice that your urine is a brighter yellow at some times, your bodies way of expelling the extra.
