Hey everyone, just saw this article and thought it was super relevant to our discussions here about Vitamin C gummies! # 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 and potential risks of overconsumption. The article talks about how easy it is to exceed recommended limits, especially with tasty gummies that feel like candy. What do you all think? Are we being careful enough with our Vitamin C intake?

omg this is so true! I love my Vitamin C gummies - the orange ones from Brand X taste like actual candy lol. But I've definitely caught myself taking an extra one just because they're delicious. The article mentions that exceeding 2000mg daily can cause stomach issues? I've had some weird tummy aches lately... maybe I should count how many I'm actually eating. Anyone else snack on these like candy?

As someone on keto, I'm always careful about supplements since many gummies have hidden sugars that can kick you out of ketosis. But dosage is crucial too! The article's point about fat-soluble vs water-soluble vitamins is key - Vitamin C is water-soluble so excess gets flushed out, but mega-dosing still stresses your kidneys. I stick to 500mg daily from a sugar-free brand. Quality over quantity, people!

Mom of two here - this is why I'm so skeptical about gummy vitamins! My kids would eat the whole bottle if I let them. The article doesn't even mention how dosage recommendations differ for children vs adults. Most gummy supplements don't have child-proof caps either. I switched to pill form for my family after my 5-year-old got into my Vitamin C gummies last year. Better safe than sorry!

@HealthHacker that's scary about your kid! You're right about the packaging - my gummies come in a regular jar that any kid could open. Maybe I should look for brands with safety caps. But honestly, the taste is what keeps me consistent with taking them... pills make me gag. Anyone found a balance between safety and taste?
