Is getting vitamin C and colagen injections good for health & getting too much injection will harm yr self ?
Well – vitamin C (ascorbic acid) injections, usually, contain 250mg – 500mg and are given iv or im but, there is no reason for a healthy person to go this route when tablets, or caplets, are available at a far lesser cost. I can’t remember how long ago Linus Pauling advocated mega-doses of this vitamin but I do remember reading his book when I was 13-14 and that’s almost half a century ago. Anyway – 1,000mg a day is more than adequate for anyone to take. Mega-doses are being used, experimentally, for some patients with HIV and in some types of cancer treatment. While I think having collagen injections may, initially, make a woman feel “much younger looking”, I believe they are addictive. Collagen occurs naturally, in our bodies, as a micro-protein (my words), but there is a limit to the amount of “glue” one can have in their system without it, in my opinion, being harmful to some degree.
