Vitamin c megadosing, is it safe?

[Breakingthewall]

Better than pills is sodium ascorbate powder, cheaper. It seems that it has been shown that taking more than one amount is useless, since the concentration in the blood has a limit. I take more or less 2 grams a day.

Linus Pauli was an advocate of taking megadoses every day, he did so until he was 90 years old. I would say that this has a detrimental effect: everything that is not absorbed is excreted through the urine, which makes the pH of the urine acidic. This can hinder the excretion of uric acid, causing blood levels to rise and this is problematic. You can partially compensate by taking 1 or 2 grams of sodium bicarbonate and the same amount of potassium and magnesium citrate. If you do sports, this will contribute to making your body's pH more basic, avoiding lactic acidosis and in general creating healthier and less carcinogenic conditions

Was doing up to 10-14 grams in divided doses throughout the day when it was at its worst. Now I’m down to about 1.5g a day 

That´s good. From 1.5g you can jump to nothing when you want.

At those kind of doses (1-2gr daily) the dependence is mostly psychological. But you probably know that already.
