The Safety of Vitamin C

The Safety of Vitamin C

Vitamin C is classified as “generally regarded as safe” (GRAS). This means that the US Food and Drugs
Administration recognise the safety of ascorbate.63 Its toxicity is low. We can compare the toxicity of
ascorbate to that of water.9 Both are essential to the human body and we would die if we did not have
enough. However, it would probably be easier to kill yourself by overdosing on water than oral
ascorbate.  While reports of deaths from drinking too much water are rare, they do occur. However, we
could not find a single reported death from ingesting too much ascorbate. High doses of ascorbate are
remarkably non-toxic
