    It is impossible to overdose on vitamin C. Your body will just get rid of the amount it does not use,

    Sobe drinks have 250% of your daily recomended and I drink at least 3 but up to 5 a day so I doubt you can have too much.

    Yes, you can't overdose. Anything over 500 mg. is wasted. Athletes who are training hard can prevent colds and boost immunity, according to studies, by taking extra Vitamin C. The study says 2000mg/ per day was used to show the benefit.

    More than you could really ingest. Vitamin C is water soluable, so your body easily rids itself of any excess.

    I have cancer. I have had no chemo nor radiation.
    I have read Hoffman and Riordan's studies on orthomolecular VitC.
    I have known of people who have taken as much as a quarter of a kilo (250,000 mg) via IV in one day.
    Personally I have done 50 (50,000) grams a day. Three times a week for two weeks.
    I dont have a tumor based cancer. I have read of people who experienced tumor reversal at a quarter of a kilo ascorbate IV.
    Google ascorbate megadose.
