Except if you eat a megadose, your intestines only absorb up to “X” blood concentration, and they are dosing 3X or something.

You can absorb quite a bit more by taking liposomal vitc, which you can buy or make yourself

Mega dose is stupid. The body uses what it needs in the moment and excretes the rest.

Slow release Vitamin C, 24 hour slow release, is what you need.

Ancient humans had genes to produce their own constant low supply Vitamin C. These genes were lost or silenced.

This has lead to loss of epigenetic quality control, particularly in blood. As Vitamin C regulates a quality control gene called TET2, which is related to DNMT DNA methyltransferases.

Means we can mutate more and evolve quicker, but makes us more predisposed to cancer, oxidative damage, and dysfunction.

When we were monkeys eating lots of fruit, almost constantly, I guess our body thought it was a good trade-off.

Now with drought flood drought flood levels of Vitamin C in the modern diet, it's lead to epigenetic chaos.

Deficiency in Queuine, unpredictable Vitamin C and Folate levels leads to aberrant oxidation states in Tetrahydrobiopterin, for starters.

Loss of Mitohormensis, as one of a million things this leads to.

To be fair I've never heard of vitamin c overdose, though I've also never looked into the possibility.

Ever eat too many oranges or another fruit? You just get diarrhea, that’s the overdose. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/vitamin-c/faq-20058030

One time after soccer I ate like 8 oranges and then puked all over my parents car on the way home

Back in my day we got a 1/4 orange slice at half time and we were happy to get it.

It's water soluble so you shouldn't be able to without a lot of help

Too much Vit C can make you more prone to kidney stones. That's the worst outcome I've heard of

There always was but the usual corrupt big pharma puppets “disproved” the studies by deliberately using oral vitamin C.
