15 mg is proven to be enough, why would you overdose, unless you are deficient.

He got on 15 grams of C a day along with lysine, and within a year his heart disease was totally gone. Reason is your arteries are made of collagen. When stressed they crack and your body sends lipo protein to fix it. That leads to blocks. This is all a result of low grade scurvy that causes cell inflammation. Humans are one of 3 only animals in the world that dont make our own Vit C. Ever wonder why wild animals dont get heart disease, cancer etc? Because they make 15,000-25,000% more vitamin C every day in the bodies then we consume.

I started taking it and have not been sick in 4 years. Not even a sniffle. Used to get sick 4-5 times a year.

My skin is amazing. C makes collagen. Collagen makes skin.

Great fat burner. Studies show taking lots of C burns 25% more fat than not taking it.

Has done wonders for my joints. All my lifts are at all time highs, and I am over 40 years of age. Feel like I'm 25.

Lots more benefits as well but those are some of the main ones.
you forgot test levels thru the roof

Not sure why this is such a mystery. If 99.999999999999% of the animal kingdom makes their own vit C and generally do not die of things like cancer and heart disease, and we as humans, who don't make any, have so many of those issues? To me that speaks volumes. Are those animals just making all that C for no reason? The only other ones that don't make any are the guinea pig and a couple primates. In fact in 1907, vitamin C was discovered using guinea pigs as test subjects because they don't make any.

Look, think that this is all a giant scam (though for what reason I cannot imagine-no one can corner the market on Vit C) and that I am crazy. That is totally 100% fine and you are entitled (apology essepted). All I can tell you what has worked for me, my brother, and countless other people.

To each their own.

Low 40s.

I get my C just by using regular pills I buy at CVS. 1000 mg pills. Take 9 a day. And the other 6 grams I get in the pre workouts and BCAA mix atwww.c-fitlife.com.

eh. i might be immune to it now or its just another thing but wheni first started using it morning wood increased a bit. mood is slightly better. not life changing stuff but id say its "worth" it. i take now foods picolonate i dunno what kind of reputation they have but they seem to have good reviews. dunno if its legit or placebo though

multivitamin is also good. been taking it for 2~ years now and on average i get sick maybe 1/year now and its mainly because of lack of sleep and stress mixed with roommates being sick.

everyone says take fish oil. supposedly its good for muscle gain, joints, and cognitive functions/mental health so might as well. not life changing but it was basicallyt he one supplement my mom gave me when i was a teenager.

creatine works too. gain strength and weight a lot faster on creatine. bloating happens but i do feel more "muscle-y" when on creatine.

ive tried bcaas but not long enough to decide if it really works or not.

tried gaba, not really a bodybuilding supplement but i didnt really feel too much.

melatonin is the **** if you have trouble sleeping. **** makes me naturaly tired af and i doze right off

Got a blood test to see testosterone levels and it came out to around 1009 ng/dl. lol. Chit was super high. I'm not sure if it's because of all that supplementation though because I hadn't tested myself before, so I'm not sure about my baseline.
what do you mean by bioavaliable? which brand do you use?

used to take 500mg Vit C and when I got a cold it would last just under a week. since then I take 1g Vit C and finally got a cold last week(been 1.5 years since my last cold). The cold is gone now and it took about 4 days, not bad...I'm not like everyone you hear who get a cold and they are back to normal in 1 to 2 days...

I will be upping my Vit C from 1g to 3g because of this thread. Very intrigued about the reversal of heart disease aspect than reducing colds.

lol at thread derail, OP should change title to mention vit c

Last I knew, we are a mammal. An animal. Just a different type called a human BEAN.

Why you think we are so different than every other animal out there is hilarious to me. We are all made of exactly the same things, just put together in a slightly different way. But we all have the same basic chemistry.

This past winter here in CA we had a massive cold/flu going around. Everyone was getting it and it lasted for weeks. Sore throat, sneezing, temp. cough, loss of voice. I am on two bowling teams and everyone got it. Except me.And believe me I am not some super anti sickeness robot. Before I got on the heavy C, I would get sick MORE than the average person, and it would last for weeks and weeks. In the 4 years since? Nothing.

So basically take any where from 6k-15k of vitamin c a day (Up to where you won't have bad bowel movements)? And split it into three doses?

Yes. And for the full anti heart disease treatment, take lysine as well. An amino acid. Also very good for your skin. The lysine allows your body to send that to fix your cracked arteries instead of bad cholesterol.

zinc is one of the most dangerous supplements to take, especially zinc picolinate

the absorption is simply too good and it causes an upregulation of metallothionein expression in the enterocytes

that in turn decreases copper absorption and creates a deficiency

copper deficiency will destroy your heart and tendons, among other things

just eat red meat every day and you'll get plenty
