Can I have too much Vitamin C? | Ask Dr. Gundry
Vitamin C is probably one of the first things you reach for when you feel a cold or flu coming on. And for good reason - this vitamin is famous for its immune-boosting properties.
Vitamin C also boasts a whole host of other benefits for the body - which might tempt you to load up on this nutrient even when you’re not sniffling and sneezing.
But have you wondered if there’s such a thing as too much vitamin C? It’s a question worth considering. After all, your body is an intricate system that requires a healthy balance of nutrients to operate to the best of its potential. And when those nutrients get out of balance? Your body can pay the price.
So, if you’re wondering how much vitamin C is too much, Watch the video or go to the official Gundry Blog and learn more: gundrymd.com/is-too-much-vita...

Great vitamin. Thanks.
There must me a distinction between water-solvable and fat-solvable vitamin C. Vitamin C that is most beneficial for skin and immune system is fat-solvable and comes from grass-fed meats and fermented vegetables, like sauerkraut. Vitamin C from tablets (ascorbic acid) is water solvable. Also, the tablets usually are laced with sugar. It’s best to get vitamin C directly from food rather than tablets.

It’s best to get vitamin C from food while also supplementing I don’t know why anyone takes the sugary stuff and I would hardly consider that a “vitamin.” Still, there’s no reason to not take something like liposomal vitamin c. Cost may be an issue for some but you can make your own at home with the right equipment, at a much lower cost.

I just remember that insulin level scales with uric acid which reduces vitamin C level if you have high insulin. Would that mean the best time to take vitamin C is in the morning when your fasting and at night when your done digesting and ready to sleep?

HELP! I'm having serious kidney issues and I haven't been able to find any videos of yours that address kidney failure. I don't have insurance at the moment so I haven't been able to go to the doctor to see how far gone they are. I've had stones in the past, and this pain I'm having is similar but hasn't gone away in weeks. Is it true that kidneys can't repair themselves even if you eat the right foods? Unfortunately I went down the carnivore rabbit hole and I think this is what has caused my kidney issues.

During fasting, the body uses other stores for energy which include the breakdown of stored proteins/amino acids and fats. Uric acid is a waste product of this catabolic process. Fasting has been reported to increase uric acid in the literature. Pace from Arabia ✌️😁
