No. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin. The only vitamins you can overdose on are: A, D, E, and K. They are fat soluable vitamins which can be, and are, stored in the fat cells, therefore, are not excreted nearly as easily as the water soluble ones.



it won't kill you but you can OD on vitamine c, especially if you have taken it in an unnatural form.... like you just did. but it will probably only be like, sweating, dirrahea, etc. if you don't feel fine call a health line or something and they tell you better then most people here.



Too much of anything can kill you, actually. You can drink enough water to die. Really. But in this case, you'll be fine. Just get some water in you.

no, not likely. but because you consumed such a great amount, you body probably couldn't handle it that well, and you would be quiet sick for a couple of days. And possibly some kind of diseases.



Nope ! but it can cause diarrhea, gas, stomach upset, stomach cramps, nausea, diarrhea or kidney stones. And kidney stones are a no no. :l
