Pardon me for butting in..............There is a lot of info on the net re Vitamin C intake. We lost the enzyme to make our own Vitamin C from serum glucose eons ago and must take it in via our diet. All the other primates have the same problem including the animal, guinea pigs. The animal having the highest level of endogenous (manufactured by the body) is the goat. Most people have a tolerance level for Vitamin C dependant upon the alimentary canal. It is said that the higher the level of infection the body has the more tolerance the body has for large amounts. This is particulary true for me. Long ago when I was much healthier and didn't have Lymme Disease I had a very low tolerance ie., lots of pain and gas in my gut along with diarhhea when I took a large dose. Now it seems this doesn't happen no matter how much I take.

I wish that the schools of nutrition would have a copy of what you wrote and backed up with facts. It certainly would be ideal if we could get our nutrients from food but in this day and age, it is certainly not possible. Thanks for writing this.I daily take 500 milligrams of vitamin C. I am not sure if this is enough but I think that 10,000 a day probably isnt necessary and possibly causes the body to require that much after taking it for a while.(not sure though) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Do you Yahoo!?
