Vitamin C is tolerable in higher doses up to 10 grams, provided proper attention is given to protecting the teeth and stomach from its acidity (e.g. consumed in slow-release tables).
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
so if you look at that ratio I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that humans can consume a couple grams of vitamin C and not have side effects and the tolerable upper limit is two grams and the only reason why they set it at two grams is because some people get diarrhea from it
vitamins intakes at doses above the RDA for oral vitamin C are well tolerated and safe
it's interesting however that there really isn't any scientific evidence that by see administered in doses up to 10 grams per day in adults is toxic or detrimental to health a person's overall health or lifestyle factors influences how much they need
at the other end of the recommendations is the tolerable upper intake limit 2000 milligrams per day the amount that experts believe reduces the risk of these GI problems
