There will be no toxic reaction. Read the following text carefully and you will understand. It won't be poisoned, but eating too much is also a waste. )

Vitamin c is water-soluble. Vitamin C absorbed from the upper part of the small intestine is transported to the blood through the portal vein and hepatic vein, and transferred to the tissues of various parts of the body. When people eat vitamin C, the concentration of vitamin C in pituitary and kidney is the highest, followed by eyeball, brain, liver and spleen. When the total storage of vitamin C in the body is less than 300mg, there is a risk of scurvy. The maximum storage of vitamin C in the human body is 2000mg.

Vitamin C is excreted through the kidney, so the kidney has the function of regulating the excretion rate of vitamin C. When the vitamin C in the tissue reaches saturation, the excretion will increase. When the tissue content is insufficient, excretion is reduced.

Oxalic acid is one of the metabolites of vitamin C, and its excretion varies from person to person. On average, 16-64MG of oxalic acid is excreted with urine every day. Most people are worried.

Too much oxalic acid can lead to stones. In fact, except a part of oxalic acid in the body is metabolized by vitamin C, most of the rest is directly ingested from food or produced by amino acid food metabolism.

According to experiments, even if a large amount of vitamin C is ingested, the amount of oxalic acid in urine will not increase, so there is no need to worry about the stone problem caused by vitamin C.
