For what it may be worth to you, my opinion is that you should not make an "arbitrary" decision as to how much ascorbate to ingest, i.e. that your body needs, i.e. I would let your body decide that via its Bowel Tolerance reaction.Nineboy wrote:I am continuing Vitamin C and am taking 12 grams at the moment.

As "grist for your mill," although Pauling [and Cathcart] talked about a possible "rebound" effect [of suddenly stopping one's ascorbate intake], for two reasons this is something I would not [personally] fear: 1) It is my belief that the tissues of the body gradually become saturated with ascorbate [over time], and therefore, the more ascorbate you can ingest, before having it "cut off," the better off you will be, and 2) I have on a few occasions [over the past 20 years] missed a day [and in one case, 2 or 3 days] of ascorbic acid ingestion, and never noticed any effect whatsoever.Nineboy wrote:I am not sure about taking more Vit.C as I suspect it will not be available to me in hospital. Sneaking it in will not be an option I'm sure. So is tapering it down something I should consider or take it right up until I go in. I thought my body might respond badly to not having it's daily requirement.
