How much Vit C is ok?

My husband has a cold and I want to take 250 mg of Vit C as an added immune boost. My prenatal has 60 mg already. Is the 250 too much?

Yes it's too much, because it's a giant waste of $$

I meant to reply to the post, one day I'll get this!

I hope it is ok because last week I took one of those packets of EmergenC!

This is something you need to ask your OB/MW.

Definitely ask your OB, but vitamin C is water soluble, so I believe your body will just pee out the extra that your body doesn't need.

What pp said. You can only absorb 100% of your daily value of vit c. Anything past that you will just pee out. Just have a glass of OJ and call it a day. My OB does not recommend taking any of those natural remedies while pregnant but check with yours.
