Overview

•At 1,000 mg per serving, this formula provides half of the adult tolerable upper intake level (2,000 mg/day), remaining within established intake bounds.
•Mild gastrointestinal symptoms such as loose stools, abdominal cramping, or heartburn can occur, though sustained release may moderate stomach upset.
•Excess ascorbic acid is metabolized to oxalate; individuals with a history of calcium oxalate kidney stones or renal impairment face stone formation risks.
•High-dose vitamin C can interfere with blood glucose monitors, urine glucose test strips, and stool occult blood tests, potentially producing inaccurate readings.
•High oral intakes enhance non-heme iron absorption, which warrants caution in individuals with hemochromatosis or other iron overload disorders.
