How can I take 30 grams of vitamin c per day without diarrhea?
98568
I use Bronson Sodium Ascorbate powder. It is gentler on your stomach and I have no problem doing 1000mg every hour with no diarrhea. I can take even more when I am Ill. I do as much as 3000mg (3 g) an hour when sick with no problem.  I get a 1 Kg 2.2 lb Canister online at Bronson Labrotorys. I believe sodium ascorbate is the easiest on the stomach and is not acidic. You must be ill to want to push that much c so it shouldnt be a problem. If it remains a problem after trying this then you will need to find a physician willing to give you intravenious vitamin c. Then you can acheive massive doses.\n\nhttp://www.doctoryourself.com/strategies.html\n\nYou get diarrhea when you have acheived bowel tolerance. Bowel tolerance means you are dumping the vitamin. You want to get to the point right before bowel tolerance to get the benefot you are seeking. When a person is ill the amount of ascorbic acid he can ingest without diarrhea being produced increases somewhat proportionally to the severity or the toxicity of the disease. Perhaps your body needs a bit less. I kind of let my body be my guide. If you are having sbowel problems look into starting some probiotics and this may help.\n\nhttp://www.probiotics.co.nz/prbtcs.html\n\nhttp://www.pdrhealth.com/drug_info/nmdrugprofiles/nutsupdrugs/pro_0034.shtml\n\nLook at this website if you havent.

The best thing to do is to get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids like orange juice and water. Another thing that really helps me is to drink hot lemon aid. I like to take 1000 mgs of vitamin C every 6 hrs it helps the symptoms and gets your immune system working better.

Eat only greeen foods, salads, green soups, and green vegetables for 7-10 days and drink at least 1.5 liters of water each day.  I know it's not pleasant, but I works.  \n\nAlso, GNC sells this green powder you mix into a drink and that is quite effective.  You can allow yourself to eat one normal meal a day (but it must include green veggies and can not be fried)that way.  The green drink is about $20 for 45 days worth.  If you go that route you should finish the entire canister.

Before taking any vitamins you need to know what you should do first. Body cleanse. Lemon juice will do the trick. Yes its sour but it works then start taking vitamin A, it is a natural antibiotic and will boost your imune system. They say if you can walk at least 1,000 steps a day this to will get you back to feeling great. you really don't need to exersize as long as you keep moving all day long.\nthen when you are feeling pretty super start taking other vitamins such as B complex vitamins. always eat right. yeah I know you hear that all the time but I found that if its green eat it if it comes in a can don't eat it if its a diet food don't waste your money, all you get is chemicals and that's what's wrong with our foods today all chemicals. Makes you wonder why so many people are getting sick. Think about it... Hmmmm! Vitamin A is what you need after a cleanse. Everyone thinks its vitamin c but it has its drawbacks. Vitamin c can also affect your weight. Yes we need some vitamin C but just an example I gained 5 lbs when I started taking it. Vitamin C is not the answer. Do some research and you will find Vitamin A is your best start. Vitamin C also can cause the body to become more acidic we all need to get to an alkaline state so we are able to fight off all that ails us.

1. Vitamin C Works Wonders \nVitamin C works in the body as a scavenger picking up all sorts of trash — including virus trash. It can shorten the length of a cold from seven days to maybe two or three days. Vitamin C may also cut back on coughing, sneezing, and other symptoms. In a study conducted at the University of Wisconsin, cold sufferers taking 500 milligrams of vitamin C four times a day suffered only half as many symptoms as those not taking the vitamin. Short-term use of such high doses shouldn't cause any side effects. But you should get your doctor's okay before starting any kind of supplement programme. Better yet, simply get your additional vitamin C by drinking it —orange, grapefruit, and cranberry juices are rich sources of vitamin C. \n2. The Power Of Zinc \nSucking on zinc lozenges can cut colds short, to an average of four days. Zinc can also dramatically reduce symptoms such as a dry irritated throat. It doesn't work for everyone, but when it works, it works. The down side is that zinc has an unpleasant taste. There are, however lozenges on the market that contain honey and/or citrus that are a lot easier to swallow. But do not take more than the amount recommended by your doctor. Zinc can be toxic in large doses. \n3. Bundle Up \nKeep bundled up against the cold. This keeps your immune system cosily focused on fighting your cold infection instead of displacing energy to protect you from the cold. \n4. Walk Your Cold Away \nMild exercise improves your circulation, helping your immune system circulate infection-fighting antibodies. Jump on a gentle rebounder indoors for 15 minutes or take a brisk half-hour walk. But refrain from strenuous exercise, which could wear you out. \n5. Feed A Cold \nThe very fact that you have a cold in the first place may point to your eating "too congesting a diet" that puts a strain on your body's metabolism. Counteract it by eating fewer fatty foods, meat and milk products, and more fresh fruit and vegetables. \n6. Chicken Soup For Your Cold \nA long-time folk remedy is now a proven fact; a cup of hot chicken soup can help unclog your nasal passages. Researchers at Mount Sinai Medical Centre in Miami Beach found that hot chicken soup, either because of its aroma or its taste, "appears to possess an additional substance for increasing the flow of nasal mucus." These secretions-what comes out when you blow your nose or sneeze- serve a first line of defence in removing germs from your system, the researchers say. \n7. Drown The Pests \nDrink six to eight glasses of water, juice, tea, and other mostly clear liquids daily. This will replace important fluids lost during a cold and help flush out impurities that may be preying on your system. \n8. Kick The Butt \nSmoking aggravates a throat that may already feel irritated from a cold. It also interferes with the infection-fighting activity of cilia, the microscopic "fingers" that sweep bacteria out of your lungs and throat. So if you can't kick the habit for good, at least do it while you've got a cold! \n9. Saline Relief \nRelieve an irritated throat by gargling morning, noon, and night-or whenever it hurts most. Fill a glass with warm water and mix in 1 teaspoon of salt. Take small sips and let it roll around as low in your throat as possible. \n10. Get Yourself In Some Hot Water \nTaking a steamy shower can help clear congestion. Or heat a teakettle or pot of water to boiling on your stove, turn off the flame, drape a towel in a tent over your head and the kettle, and inhale the steam until it subsides. This also relieves your cough by moistening your dry throat. \n11. Grease Your Way \nRelieve a raw nose by applying a lubricating layer of petroleum jelly around and slightly inside your nostrils with a cotton swab. \n12. Midnight Medicines \nNumerous medications for colds are available without a prescription. Some treat specific symptoms. Others contain a combination of drugs

Take minerals and fat soluble vitamins on a full stomach during your first meal of the day. If your vitamins come in multiple tablets, then take the second around lunch time, or if you exercise, after an afternoon workout.\n\nWater soluble vitamins should be taken throught the day, howver you may not need as much supplementation as you think. In other words, a well balanced diet may supply you with enough. These include B Vitamins and Vitamin C. If you do supplement these in a form other than your main capsul or drink, take B before times of activity or when eating a meal low in them. It is not a good idea to take them before bed time. There are also time released vitmains so you won't have to stress out over this.\n\nAs for vitamin E, you can take extra supplementation even though it is not water soluble.

You could start by taking a good multi vitamin at first.\n\nAsk in a health food store about which brand or brands are considered the best.\nDon't just go for the cheapest one you find.\n\nMany doctors will tell you there is no scientific proof that any vitamins can do what the manufacturer's claim they can do for you.\n\nI have taken quite a few a few over the years and I still do but never in large amounts.\n\nI must say that I can't really say "Wow I feel great for having taken that"\n\nI am just hoping that they are good for me and will help prevent certain illness'es(sp) from occuring.\n\nIf you don't over do them most doctors will say they won't do you any harm but ask a doctor yourself because everyone is different.\n\nAnother thing you should do is to read some books about different vitamins and what they are supposed to be good for.\n\nYou will see the recommended daily doses for them as well.\n\nOne old book I have was written by a Doctor Balch and had a lot of good information in it.\n\nIf you are not eating well there is something called Greens which I haven't tried myself but I was told that it is very good for you if you are not eating enough vegetables etc.\n\nGood luck and don't be afraid to try some vitamins in Moderation.

It sounds like you need to take a trip to the health department and talk to a nutritionist. \n\nYou can take a vitamin, but most of the time they don't absorb very well.  \n\nIt's alot better to just eat your vegetables.  You probably feel like crap.  You should definitely get a colon cleanse, and start drinking alot of water.  Eating mainly meat isn't that great for you -- especially when you're eating meat that has toxins.  It's mildly okay if it's not your mainstay.  But if it's pretty much all you eat (with some carbs thrown in) then your body will collect all the pesticides, antibiotics, etc. that the animals were exposed to and that was concentrated in their bodies.  So now it's getting concentrated in you.\n\nDefinitely do a colon cleanse.  Start excercising.  \nTake your vitamins.  Drink lots of water.  And look into veggie burger type stuff to replace some of what you're eating.  Also, try replacing some of the meat with beans.\n\nYou can eat veggies and have them taste good.  You just have to experiment.  I'm a vegetarian, but there are alot of vegetables I don't like.  \n\nI'm a sweet tooth.  You might like this, I call it "sweet salad".\n\nI take :1/2 cup of spinach\n        halved grapes\n        almonds, walnuts, or pecans\n        cherry tomatoes \n        another random fruit around the house\n        dried apricots\n        local honey\n\nI mix it all together.  I don't really like spinach that much, but it's got so many more vitamins (and more Vitamin A -- Beta Carotene) than even carrots have, I've found that honey is sweet, satisfying, and makes it tolerable.  \n\nSo experiment.  I've found ways, and you can find yours.\n\nIt's worth improving your lifestyle to improve your health.  You have to live with your body for the rest of your life -- take care of it.

I would suggest taking a multivitamin and additional vitamin C and D. I would suggest reading some of the articles on knowledgeofhealth.com.

If there were irritation, I would take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and cinnamon in a shot glass of carrot juice three times a day. I would also do the water cure\nwith 1/4 teaspoon of unrefined sea salt in 6-8 glasses of distilled water each day to rehydrate the body. \nI would use virgin coconut oil externally. I would take Vitamin A daily. \n\nIf there is irritation, I would do all of the above the add the MSM supplement to my diet.

Good old vitamin c, and lots of it. Don't be afraid to take 3 or 4 grams divided over the day. Echinacea, a herb, is excellent for boasting the immune system. Once a cold has started to develop, vitamin c and echinacea are as powerful a combination as you can get. Take the echinacia P variety.
