Is there such a thing as too much vitamin C? I've heard of people taking mega doses of certain suppliments and having serious sid effects.
ReplyDeleteYes, thats true. It's true with any vitamin or mineral. You need to be conscious of your vitamin and supplement intake. I'll write more about this soon.
ReplyDeletethanks!
I never realized people needed just this small amount of Vitamin C. Good info.

Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. I will check on a few Vitamin C boosters for you. Always try to get your RDA of Vitamin C with orange juice, etc., however for additional help, there are Vitamin C serums you can get from various spas/salons (usually in an ampule) that can be massaged into the skin manually or with a machine. Getting a regular facial is beneficial for many reasons. Lots of hydrating masques and other special treatments can be added.
