I was really surprised that the popular belief that Vitamin C cures cold is not as true as it seems (I take 1-2 500mg tablets daily). It merely shortens the length of the common cold. But taking Vitamin C is not that bad in itself, provided that we don’t take too much of it as it can increase the risk of developing kidney stones.

Do you enjoy flushing money down the toilet? "Oral vitamin C produces tissue and plasma concentrations that the body tightly controls. Approximately 70%–90% of vitamin C is absorbed at moderate intakes of 30–180 mg/day. However, at doses above 1 g/day, absorption falls to less than 50% and absorbed, unmetabolized ascorbic acid is excreted in the urine."
