Is it possible to take too much vitamin C?

Asked by sfgal (283points) April 8th, 2007
whenever I get sick, my dad urges me to take around 3,000 to 5,000 mg of Vitamin c...he insists it boosts the immune system. It seems like a whole lot of one vitamin. are there any potential problems with taking so much vitamin c--can it affect any other medications, or mess up your body in any way? have there been any studies on this?
