Abstract in brief

  • The study analyzed the relationship between vitamin C intake (from diet and supplements) and the risk of developing kidney stones in a large group of men and women, finding that higher vitamin C intake was linked to increased kidney stone risk in men but not in women.
  • Among men, taking 500-999 mg/day of vitamin C significantly increased the risk of kidney stones, while no significant association was observed in women regardless of vitamin C levels.
  • Dietary vitamin C intake alone was not linked to kidney stone risk in either men or women, and data on stone composition was not available for all cases.

In general I would agree that vitamin C consumption in moderation is unlikely to be harmful, in men who take greater than 1000mg/day there is an association with kidney stones. I included a citation below. If you’ve had a kidney stone and are male, be more careful. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26463139/
