Has anyone else been taking the Ascorbic Acid (Vit C) and if so have you had any side effects?
We have seen a fairly large number of patients taking vitamin C, despite long term use, in some people since childhood, they have similar joint problems to other patients with alkaptonuria. We have not seen any side effects, however there is some suggestion that very high doses of vitamin C may contribute to renal stone formation, this has not be evaluated formally in patients with alkaptonuria.
