11 Popular Supplements That Hide Major Risks

Vitamin C 

The ascorbic acid, known as Vitamin C, is a water-soluble vitamin that enhances normal growth and development and helps your body absorb iron. Your body doesn’t naturally produce this vitamin, so it’s essential to include it in your diet.

You can find it in an orange or a cup of strawberries, red pepper or broccoli, and you’d have the right amount of vitamin C that your body needs. But some adults might tend to exaggerate with additional supplements of vitamin C and scientists say it can be harmful.

The upper limit of vitamin C can reach 2,000 mg a day, and a megadose of vitamin C supplement can cause diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, headache and insomnia. So if you want to make sure you’re loaded with vitamin C but won’t affect you in any way, just try eating two oranges instead of one.
