Vitamin C maximum dosage for important lack ???

3000mg or 3g a day.

However, I highly doubt a vitamin C deficiency is causing your problems.

Hello ,

In the case of important lack of vitamin C , I would like to know what is the maximum dosage we
can take before having any potential problems , I also wish to know how long does it take for the
body to retrieve a normal vitamin c rate after taking high dosage of vitamin C (still in the case
of big lack of vitamin C).

I suffer from major depression which main symptoms are : extreme psychic fatigue, nearly
impossibility to concentrate, energyless 24/7. I have tried nearly all current existing classes of
antidepressant (Prozac, Seroxat, Vivalan, Effexor, Ixel, Anafranil, Desipramine, Marsilid) during
a sufficient amount of time (4 weeks and even 6 weeks in some cases (Anafranil, Desipramine,
Marsilid) with reaching maximum dosage allowed , but noone has ended in a success (even partial).

I did some analysis (one year ago) which has shown an abnormal cortisol secretion in my body but
this abnormality was not confirmed in recent analysis I did. However , those same analysis (two
weeks ago) show that my vitamin C rate is really low compared to normal rate :

My rate : under 3.0 µmol/l Normal rate : 26.1 to 84.6 µmol/l

The problem doesn't come from food since it is well balanced . I am currently taking 2g/day of
vitamin C (1g in the morning and the other one in the evening) from the advice of my
endocrinologist and I have not seen any enhancement of my state since the beginning (18 days) I am
about to see my endocrinologist soon and in the mean time I wish to have information regarding
maximum dosage that body can take in the case of the important lack of vitamin c is not caused by
food problem .

If you have any informations regarding this subject ,please feel free to express yourself, thanks

Regards, Pierre

do you get outside much? low sunlight can cause some of those symptoms.
