Does anyone know if its okay to drink Emergenc-C vitamin C drinks ontop of taking my prenatal vitamin that has 200% of my daily value in it already? Each packet of Emergen-C has 1,000mg in it.  Can I have TOO MUCH vitamin C?

    If you get too much Vitamin C, the excess is typically released in your urine. It's not a vitamin that you can have too much of, normally. You might want to check with your OB though.

    in order to overdose on vitamin C you would have to take over 1000 mg every day for an extended period of time.  daily recommended dose is only 75 mg, Your prenatal would have about 150 mg in it, which is a far cry for an overdose issue.  And on top of that even if you did take over 1000 mg a day over time you still may not overdose.  Overdose symptoms are generally stomach ache and diarrhea
