Vitamin C Overdose!!

Hello Bloggers! Happy Thanksgiving!

Today Vitamin C is my topic.
I can't help overindulging myself with orange after orange. I've always preferred fruit over candy! What a great habit!

Warning: too much Vitamin C is not so good.


Slice after slice, if you're like me, you'll find it extremely hard from eating too many oranges. Oranges contain an acid called- Citric Acid. This acid actually eats away at your enamel if you don't brush your teeth before or afterward. Citric Acid is also found in many fruits, most relating to the orange : like the LEMON and LIME. You may also find it in many brightening Facial Products.


Lemons and oranges are known for their exfoliating properties ( maybe because of the citric acid that helps peel away dead skin cells and reveal a BRIGHTER surface )
These delicious and acidic fruit have amazing brightening products!

Be Careful, Too much intake of Vitamin C can cause digestional Upset. Even though vitamin C is a essential Antioxidant that helps increase skin elasticity, and helps speed up cell surface turnover, it can cause an upset stomach when is consumed in large amounts. I'd call it an overdose of Vitamin C.

If I were you, I'd eat an orange everyday to balance your vitamin C intake.

Note: Vitamin C also helps immunity! Eat up and fight sickness!
