The Hidden Risk of Vitamin-C Supplements
When daily supplements quietly raise stone risk
C for Caution
Taking high doses of vitamin-C supplements, 500 mg or more a day on a regular basis, has been shown to increase the risk of developing kidney stones in some people. More so if you have had kidney stones in the past or have family members who have had them. If you are at risk for developing kidney stones you should not take more than the recommended daily allowance of vitamin-C. The recommended daily allowance of vitamin-C for women is 75 mg and 90 mg for men.
Research shows that regularly taking high doses of vitamin-C—500 mg or more per day—can increase the risk of kidney stone formation. This risk is even higher if you’ve had kidney stones in the past or have a family history of them.
The recommended daily allowance for vitamin-C is:
75mg
for Women
90mg
for Men
Nature’s Secret
Vitamin-C is in more foods than you think.
A single serving of these can meet your daily Vitamin-C needs:
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Mangoes
Oranges
Strawberries
Kale
If you’re also taking a multivitamin or supplement with added vitamin C, you could be getting more than you need—possibly increasing your risk of forming kidney stones.
