If 8 oz. of orange juice has 100% Vitamin C, what happens when I drink more than 8oz.? Is it better/worse?

Answer 1

Its unlikely, but you might get loose stools.
100% RDA is 60mg of Vitamin C.
it is based on the amount needed to prevent scurvy - a disease that is life threatening if untreated.
The fact is, we need more than that in your average day.
The average person starts to experience loose stools when they start taking THOUSANDS of milligrams.
Drink up - Eat a rainbow for good health - not just the orange ;)

Answer 2

It doesn't matter how much of it you drink, your still going to get 100% Vitamin C. The whole bottle contains 100%. You would just be getting to much acid in your system if you drank all of it in a day. won't hurt you but it will turn your chemistry around. When I get too much acid in my body, my 14kt gold rings will turn my fingers black. Other than that there is no harm done.

Answer 3

any amount of orange juice cannot has 100% Vitamin C, the content must include sacs, water, fructose, cellulose, fibre etc, drink more orange juice doesn't affect your health, the side effects may be you'll lose few fats under the skin.

That's supposedly just 100% of your Daily Value Vitamin C intake. Drink as much OJ as you want, it won't be bad for you. If anything, it'll be better. Vitamin C helps boost your immune system. =]
