However, there are some significant risks and discomforts that can be associated with too much of the vitamin.
Too much ascorbic acid can result in uncomfortable outcomes such as diarrhea and abdominal cramping. One of the most serious side effects of too much ascorbic acid is kidney troubles, more specifically an increased risk of kidney stones. According to a study published by The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition , individuals who consumed mg or more of ascorbic acid per day had a forty percent higher risk of having a kidney stone. The cause of this is that the ascorbic acid, when breaking down, leaves behind high levels of urinary oxide, which can collect and turn into stones.
The key is consuming the correct amount of ascorbic acid. Be aware of how much you are consuming, and take supplements with care. If you have any questions, always consult your doctor. Suggest improvement or correction to this article Written by Brendan Quigley You've read 3 articles - nice!

The "L-" stands for "levo" "laevo," in Latin , which is simply a description of the physical arrangements of the atoms within the molecule. L-ascorbic acid is in the natural food sources.
When the synthetic form is made, it is usually labelled "L-Ascorbic Acid" in the interest of utter accuracy in information. You will also get L-Ascorbic Acid in the food you grow in your garden.

This is a great article, thank you Robyn. Thank you for clarifying the differences between the different sources of Vitamin C. Linus Pauling may have made some mistakes with his own personal health but he did live to the age of This article paints with a rather broad stroke, IMO. I wonder why you make no mention of the "Sodium Ascorbate" form of Vitamin C.
Thomas Levy, among others — Can they be wrong about high dose "sodium ascorbate" as being VERY beneficial to good heath? A few years later, I crashed — almost complete adrenal failure, 5 heart attacks and possible strokes.
It took two years of hard work on the part of my family to get me out of the danger zone. I ended up with a severe mineral deficiency. Nearly died more than once. Took me several years to get back to some semblance of normal. Of course, this is all anecdotal — no way to prove there is a connection. And there were other factors involved — a genetic mutation and a lot of stress. But the ascorbic acid intake could very well have played a major role in taking me down.
I had never seen the connection to the cardiovascular issues until this article. My personal opinion, after reading on the topic and talking with some alternative practitioners, is that it is very dangerous to isolate "nutrients" from their food matrix. And that synthetics can also be dangerous. There is L-Ascorbic acid and D-Ascorbic acid, and both can be manufactured in a lab, but it is the artificial L-form that should be used for supplementation.
No question, you are right that in an orange, there are other compounds that are very healthful. They may even be more healthful when taken as a whole group. But, the actual vitamin c component of an orange is exactly the same as the L-Ascorbic produced in a lab. Further, the artificial vitamin c does prevent scurvey, it can be used by the body to produce collagen, and is just effective in all the other biological pathways as is the vitamin c component of the nutrient group in oranges.
The other compounds in the group of nutrients obtained from an orange are healthful, but only the L-ascorbic in the orange is vitamin C. And the artificial vitamin C does the same thing as the vitamin C component in an orange.
You lost me, coming from the girl who touts mega doses of vitamins in a green smoothie everyday. While I agree with some information here there is to much evidence to the contrary. I do believe food based vitamins are better then synthetic.
Be careful, your losing some of your credibility. I and my family had a chronic illness for years which ruined our lives something special! It was only after introducing high amounts of vitamin c ascorbic acid that we not only felt better it actually cured us! These are not false claims this is the truth. We gradually maintained a dosage of 60g per day 60,mg and gradually decreased the dosage, to a suitable level of 10g per day 10,mg.
I will continue to take 10g per day from now on as this is incredible for your health. The acid then also plays a vital role in the stimulating the lymphatic system and activating NK cells to eradicate the disease within the body. High doses of ascorbic acid has cured many chronic diseases and illnesses, ours included!
Continuing to take high doses has many amazing health benefits too! He goes to the gym 5 to 6 times per week, still working and still has an active career, apparently he looks 20 years younger too, he said his dad taught him about vitamin C and his dad was years of age when he passed.
The guy I think lives in an urbanised area in Germany so no country mountainous fresh air either just a general area near a city. I had it for 12 years and left me bedbound, same with my family. It also gives you many amazing health benefits as an everyday routine supplement again, high doses!
All this time myself and my family had the illness and all the poking, prodding and ridicule, judging, the loss of friends, my partner, my career and not one doctor not one "established medical professional" even mentioned Vitamin c let alone high doses of it and the wealth of medical information on available on the subject is astounding!
Something really does stink in our medical governance. Anyway I give this information so other do not have to suffer I try to post this on as many blogs and comments sections as possible.
