>>12789364I take 5 to grams of ascorbic acid per day. It's fine, only marginal chance of stripping minerals over time. A lot of people recommend making sodium ascorbate and taking it with potassium citrate and magnesium citrate, along with selenium and manganese, if you're going to megadose.
>>12789372Nope, not true. Vitamin C is absorbed by passive diffisusion, the body has no rate limiting. In the case of eg sodium ascorbate, absorption is via active sodium dependent transporter, which serves to rate limit but never halts outright.
