Vitamin C is a widely used supplement to help boost immunity in the winter months<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Doctors have issued a warning to people who take vitamin C supplements, urging people to stop taking or reduce their dosage if they experience unusual symptoms.<\/p>\n

Vitamin C is a commonly used supplement and often reached for to try and bat away coughs and colds during the winter months.<\/p>\n

It can not only help boost the immune system, but aid with the absorption of iron and works to maintain healthy skin, blood vessels, bones and cartilage.<\/p>\n

According to Mayo Clinic, sources of vitamin C include berries, cantaloupe, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, spinach and citrus fruits, such as oranges.<\/p>\n

Most people get enough vitamin C from their diet, yet people who smoke or are around secondhand smoke; have certain digestive conditions or types of can:cer or have a diet lacking in fruit and vegetables are more likely to be deficient.<\/p>\n

So how much vitamin C should we be getting?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Mayo Clinic explain that in general, experts suggest that women get 75 mg of vitamin C a day and men get 90 mg.<\/p>\n

They add: “Pregnant people should aim to get 85 mg a day. People who breastfeed their babies should try to get 120 mg a day. Children usually need less daily vitamin C than adults. The exact amount depends on their age.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Still, if you consume too much vitamin C, you may notice these four symptoms.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

High doses of the supplement are anything over 1,000mg per day and – according to the NHS – if you experience diarrhoea, nausea, flatulence or cramps, stopping the supplement altogether, or reducing the dosage, should see symptoms ease off.<\/p>\n

Additionally, it’s important to be aware that too much vitamin C can also increase the risk of kidney stones.<\/p>\n

Kidney stones are usually found in the kidneys or the ureter and can be pretty painful. They can also lead to kidney infections.<\/p>\n

“Your body will absorb any Vitamin C in your diet and convert it to oxalate, which then goes on to form stones in your kidneys. You should not need to take vitamin supplements if you have a varied diet including fruit and vegetables,” the NHS explains.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Though some kidney stones go unnoticed, symptoms of larger ones, which are more likely to lead to problems, include:<\/p>\n

pain in the side of the abdomen
\na high fever
\nfeeling sweaty
\nsevere pain, that can come and go
\nnausea
\nvomiting
\nblood in your urine
\nurine infection<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
