This is what happens when you have too much vitamin C
https://www.thelist.com/265889/this-is-w...vitamin-c/

EXCERPT: It's a veritable holy grail of antioxidant vitamins, so it's no surprise people are loading up on it. But it's important to note that more isn't always necessarily better. In fact, there are some negative side effects associated with overdosing on vitamin C. The standard recommended dose of supplemental vitamin C for an adult is 65 to 90 milligrams (mg) a day, with the upper limit being about 2,000 mg a day. [...] taking mega doses of the supplement can cause some unpleasant side effects, especially for the GI tract, including diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, and abdominal cramping (via The Mayo Clinic). It can also cause headache or trouble sleeping... (MORE - details)

High-dose vitamin C linked to kidney stones in men (2013)
https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/high...1302055854

EXCERPT: In an article published [...] in JAMA Internal Medicine, Swedish researchers detail a connection between kidney stone formation and use of vitamin C supplements among more than 23,000 Swedish men. Over an 11-year period, about 2% of the men developed kidney stones. Those who reported taking vitamin C supplements were twice as likely to have experienced the misery of kidney stones.

Do Vitamin C Supplements Cause Kidney Stones?

EXCERPT: . . . “To illustrate the uncritical acceptance of bad news” about supplements, the authors discussed the “well-known” concept that high-dose vitamin C can cause kidney stones, as I highlight in my video Do Vitamin C Supplements Prevent Colds but Cause Kidney Stones?. Just because something is well-known in medicine, however, doesn’t mean it’s necessarily true. In fact, the authors couldn’t find a single, reported case.

We’ve known that vitamin C is turned into oxalates in the body, and, if the level of oxalates in the urine gets too high, stones can form, but, even at 4,000 mg of vitamin C a day, which is like a couple gallons’ worth of orange juice, urinary oxalates may not get very high, as you can see at 1:10 in my video. Of course, there may be the rare individuals who have an increased capacity for this conversion into oxalates, so a theoretical risk of kidney stones with high-dose vitamin C supplements was raised in a letter printed in a medical journal back in 1973.

When the theoretical risk was discussed in the medical literature, however, the researchers made it sound as if it were an established phenomenon... (MORE - details)
