I love taking vitamin c tablets like candy throughout the day because I have an addiction to the tangy ones. I try not to go above 3000 MG although I know 2000 is the upper limit or something that someone should be taking at maximum. But I want to know if I keep my nasty vice going without hurting myself?

Edit: okay I’ve looked over the comments and hear you guys loud and clear. Cutting back to 1000mg a day and hopefully one day, down to just one pill. Thank you for the comments!

    Yes. And you will regret it. Vitamin C is a water soluble chemical, and when your body notices that it has too much, it will start to get rid of it through watery methods. This mostly means diarrhea.

    And another word for vitamin C is ascorbic acid. Acid and the delicate skin of balloon knots are not a good combination.
