    For the record, there is one side effect of taking too much vitamin C: those infamous kidney stones...

      단무짘선생Saying there’s no side effect like kidney stones only holds if you’re also drinking enough water

    I think I heard that if you take too much vitamin C, your body just gets rid of it through your piss, but I guess not? You know, the thing that makes your piss yellow

      Vitamin C is water-soluble too, so it’s true that any excess gets flushed out in your urine. That’s why people say it doesn’t have any side effects.

    seeing how it's poisonous on an empty stomach, it kinda feels like medicine

      isn't it just because it's sour and gives you heartburn?

      be현실적Apparently, taking medicine on an empty stomach causes really strong acidic gastric juices to be secreted, which is bad? I don't remember exactly, but I heard it's harmful. They say people who die by suicide by taking medication do so because their stomach gets dissolved or something

      정글뽑기겜As far as I know, the medicine itself doesn't affect the acidity of the gastric juices it gets released into I think it's because most prescription painkillers weaken the stomach lining and cause heartburn, maybe? I've also heard it's because food triggers the release of stomach acid, and since the pill is tiny while a lot of acid gets released, it makes things worse—but I'm not sure if that's actually true tho

    Vitamin C megadosing is kind of like aspirin: A lot of the severe side effects can actually be beneficial.
