I take 1000 mg of chewable vitamin c can i take more during the day?

Yes, it is safe to take more than 1000mg Vitamin C daily unless you have kidney disease. My Mom takes 3000mg daily, more if she's fighting a cold or something. And there is the salt/vitamin C protocol for Lyme that recommends very large doses of Vitamin C daily.

Take care,

Razzle, What does more than 1,000 mg of Vitamin C do negatively for Kidney Disease? I have a family history of PKD, so don't want to over due the C.

Diagnosed - 12/30/08, Lyme + Babesia + Ehrlichia
Symptoms since approx 06?

One lady told me that her doc had her taking 18,000 to 20,000 mg today. Seems wasteful to me.
