It produces more free iron in your body and this could be very harmful especially if you are taking iron supplements. Basically you could 'rust' from the inside out. It damages your DNA, and can mess with your genetics actually. 500 milligrams is usually considered safe, but not much more than that.

Vitamin C does not stay in your body long. It gets urinated out if you have an excess of it. However, if you get your Vitamin C naturally you CANNOT get too much. It isn't harmful at all. It is mainly from the vitamin C tablets that people take, though there is a difference there too in what the sourse is. If it's just ascorbic acid, then it can cause some health problems, but if it is part of a natural source, it isn't as harmful.
