Full Vitamin C profileAscorbic acid (vitamin C) supplementation at normal doses produces no perceptible acute effects. At very high doses, the primary noticeable effect is gastrointestinal: loose stools and stomach discomfort from the osmotic effect of unabsorbed vitamin C in the intestine.

Some users report a subtle increase in energy and well-being with regular supplementation, though this is difficult to separate from placebo.
