Hey everyone, just saw this article and thought it was super relevant for our gummy vitamin chats! # Are you taking supplements correctly? Here’s a guide on their dosage limits A recent report highlights a critical, yet often overlooked, aspect of the booming supplement industry: the importance of proper dosage limits, especially with things like Vitamin C where it's easy to overdo it with gummies since they taste so good. What do you all think? Are we being careful enough with our Vitamin C gummy intake?

As a retired nurse, I've seen firsthand what happens when people don't respect dosage limits. Vitamin C is water-soluble, so excess usually gets flushed out, but megadoses can cause stomach upset, diarrhea, and in rare cases kidney stones. The article is right to raise awareness. With gummies, the temptation to treat them like candy is real. Stick to the recommended daily amount on the label—usually 90mg for men, 75mg for women, unless your doctor says otherwise. More isn't always better!

omg yes the taste is what gets me! I love my vitamin C gummies cuz they're like little citrusy treats, and sometimes I'll have an extra one or two without thinking... oops? But after reading stuff like this, I'm trying to be more mindful. Anyone else struggle with this? Also, do different brands have diff dosage per gummy? I switch between brands based on flavor lol

As an amateur chef, I'm all about precision in the kitchen, and I think we should apply that to supplements too! I track my intake with an app to avoid going overboard. For Vitamin C gummies, I check the mg per serving and stick to it—no guesswork. The article's point about industry oversight is spot on; not all brands are transparent. Maybe we could share which brands we trust for accurate dosing?

Another retired nurse here, backing up LemonLiam32. In my experience, patients often didn't realize that supplements like Vitamin C can interact with medications or other conditions. If you're on blood thinners or have kidney issues, extra Vitamin C might be risky. Always consult a healthcare provider before changing your routine, even with gummies. And yes, treat them as medicine, not snacks—no matter how tasty!
