Is emergen c bad for your liver?
I regularly take Emergen-C for immunity, especially during season changes. My friend recently told me that high doses of vitamin C can be bad for your liver. Is Emergen-C bad for your liver, or is this just a myth?

Bro, unless you are drinking this like water or plan to live on it, your liver is fine. It is just some vitamins, not some chemical toxic waste! Chill out, just take one pocket when you actually feel a cold coming.

Please be careful with high doses of Vitamin C supplements. I took too many daily vitamins thinking they were safe, and it actually messed up my stomach and gave me high liver enzymes on my tests. Please check with your doctor before starting any daily packet.

Beta, why rely so much on these foreign packets and powders when we have fresh amla and nimbu paani at home? Nature has given us enough Vitamin C that is very easy on the liver. Just have a warm glass of lemon water daily, it is much safer.

My teenager was obsessed with these fizzy immune drinks last year during exams. I asked our family pediatrician and she said the high sugar and vitamin load can put extra stress on the organs if taken daily. We stopped it and just went back to simple fresh fruit bowls.

Honestly, buying these imported Emergen-C boxes is just too expensive for daily use. Instead of spending money on these and then worrying if you need liver function tests which cost another 1000 rupees, just eat cheap seasonal oranges. Keep your hard-earned money safe.
