Answer
Hi Marie and thanks for writin,

Generally your body will simply use the Vit C it wants and then flush the rest right out as it is water soluable. Using Vitamin C products beyond recommended the limits may cause stomachaches and diarrhea. Even though the body would only use as much as it needs of the vitamin, Vitamin C Overdose can hinder metabolic activities in the body.

I hope this answers your question,
