I am sorry sleep deprivation has affected my brain! Icurrently take 1000 mg not 10,000 mg 2x a day and I plan to increase but it is one of the things I am waiting until I am done breastfeeeding to do just incase.
I noticed a HUGE difference in the amounts of colds I get. There is ALOT of documentation on those with asthma and allergies having low vit c and the recommended dose is the dose that Keeps away disease but not what might be optimal. I have read some research and books on this and alot of it is very interesting. I woudl be happy to talk with you more on this, right now I am off to work.
One thing, if you are going to do it be consistent in taking it every day. How do yo uknow what your levels are? I would liek to have mine tested also.
you can look up toxicity too as vit c very low and excess is excreted in urine but the more you taek the more you shoudl spread it out to optimize utilization.
