[shygirliee56]

So I've started to take women vitamins and I also have a separate vitamin with vitamin c and it also includes zinc which includes 500mg of vitamin c and 15mg of zinc and the women vitamin I take has 80mg and 15mg zinc have I taken to much abit worried 🤣🤣🤣

Never good to overdose on anything. That said I believe your body will take the vit C it needs and you will wee out the excess. I am not an expert, talk to your GP.

You may get diarrhea.

As far as I know excess vit C just comes out in your pee. There are other vitamins that can be dangerous to regularly go over the recommended daily allowance though, such as vitamin A. I'd recommend asking a pharmacist either locally or through the 111 service, they should be able to help with that.

Vitamin C isn't wee'd out, it gives you diarrhea.

Yeah, I think you just get rid of the excess. Although they did knock all the ultra high vitamin C supplements on the head years ago though. I'm not sure why they'd bother if it was benign, I can't remember what the deal was with that?

You will wee excessively - I once took too lich before sleep - well, I didn’t sleep for three hours going to pee every 20 mins 🙄
