Here are 10 potential dangers associated with consuming vitamin C supplements more than 2000mg daily
1. Gastrointestinal Issues – High doses can cause diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and stomach cramps.
2. Kidney Stones – Excess vitamin C increases oxalate levels, leading to a higher risk of kidney stone formation.
3. Iron Overload – Vitamin C enhances iron absorption, which can be harmful for people with conditions like hemochromatosis.
4. Tooth Enamel Erosion – High doses, especially in chewable forms, can damage tooth enamel due to its acidity.
5. Headaches and Dizziness – Some individuals may experience migraines or dizziness due to excessive intake.
6. Increased Risk of Blood Clotting – In some cases, excess vitamin C may interfere with anticoagulant medications.
7. Fatigue and Sleep Disturbances – High doses may cause insomnia or daytime fatigue due to disruptions in metabolism.
8. Interference with Medical Tests – Large amounts can affect blood sugar readings and lead to false lab test results.
9. Heartburn and Acid Reflux – High acidity levels may worsen acid reflux or GERD symptoms.
10. Potential Harm to the Fetus (Pregnant Women) – Excessive vitamin C during pregnancy may cause imbalances in fetal development.
