Mood Elevator

Vitamin C.

I’ve been taking 3000mg of vitamin C for the past 3 days.

I’ve had a cup of coffee, Tampica juice, chicken, rice, corn and spaghetti for the record. Plus Mondays and Tuesdays I have weight lifting and cardio for an hour and a half.

I feel my mood has elevated and my mind has cleared up some.

Now, I have taking vitamin C many times before getting up to 25,000mg in a 24 hour period. This is recorded though and I will post my findings on days I miss taking C and days I do take it. To me knowledge to only adverse side effect is the eventual diahrea. But combines with the gallon of milk which has the side effect of constipation it should balance out.

Also, if you gradually increase your C intake your body will adapt to more and more, meaning your diarrhea problem tends to go away after a while. It’s gradients though.

You don’t just start taking 20,000 mgs. You work your way up. On average I have gotten myself to a point where I can take about 15k regularly if I get sick without the “side effect”.

Two vits you can never OD on? Yes, C and E. your body will flush it out.
