Vit C as a diuretic ?

Stroyer · #1 (**permalink**) 05-23-2002, 07:24 AM

I know I have read this b4, & I believe the dose is along the lines of 5gr/day, now knowing the Vit C is a water soluable Vitamin, I am assuming one would want to space the doses out over the day.

Has anyone tried Vit C as an effective diuretic ?

I know that B6 is a very strong Diuretic but not too sure how much is considered an efficient dosage.

vit C is a mild diuretic. I use what are supposed to be time-released, 2g, made by twinlab I believe.

I hear vitamin B-3 makes you get very vascular in a high dose, can anyone confirm that. i tried yesterday to take 5 pills of the Bcomplex which has 50% of daily value for b3, all i knwo is my eyes got blood shot and bulged out of my head, I was very vascular but thats common for me so Im not sure if B3 had any effect or not.
