Did a search and gained some good knowledge, but has anybody tried vitamin C in high dose? Such as 3,000mg daily?
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Vitamin C

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Yes especially when sick and I tell you what it helps tons. There's some concrete studies that you can look up on mega dosing vit c and the benefits. Get some from fresh oranges and supplement the rest with tablets (high grade are the best, forgot which form is best when it comes to vit c I'll look it up when I have more time)

I read some of info out there on Vitamin C. Carlito, I see lots of info on the high dosing too. Some folks recommended 6,000mg or more a day! They claim it leads to a happier life in some. Like anything else it has doubters, but overall seems worth it IMO.
The tolerable upper limit according to the USA is 2,000mg for an adult male. With the amount of protein I’ll be taking I think 3,000mg daily will be OK.
Anybody ever try a high dose of it? What’s some of the amounts people here take daily?

The book, “How to live longer and Feel better”, written by a Nobel-Prize-winning chemist, recommended more than 10,000mg daily. Some advocates now believe it’s the cause of a downward trend in US heart disease from the early 1980s on.

Megadosing vitamin C is fine, it might cost a little bit more but for 99% of people it is fine to take over 3g of vitamin C.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
The RDA is outdated. Some numbers they give are too high, others too low.Fortress Maximus said:
Megadosing vitamin C is not harmful. It's water soluble. If you have too much in your body at one time, you piss it out. Be careful to choose a good brand for supplements. If it's made in China it might have lead and that **** accumulates in the body.
I wish I was joking.
ALA (ala lipolic acid) is useful for chelation therapy. It slowly removes heavy metals from the body (like lead, cadmium)... if you're worried about that sort of thing.

All sounds great guys. My Vitamin C is a US product made by Nature Made, seems to be a legit company.

Free radicals increase is related to job stress too right?
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
You're thinking about the free radicals that occur naturally as a result of your natural metabolism. Those don't last long in the body as they get converted into something else.ArcBound said:
Extra free radicals from radiation, weird chemicals and preservatives... etc. Are not natural and your body will not and cannot use them. They are waste and cause damage.

I have take as much as 5 grams a day.
It is generally considered safe to take several grams a day, although it can cause GI upset. It's not really necessary unless you are sick or in a catabolic state--Vit C can mitigate cortisol levels and is also ESSENTIAL for collagen production.

I was told to take Glutamine powder with it.. counter that upset stomach.Colossus said:
And I'm shocked I don't know more ladies taking Vitamin C for the collagen production.

Don't think too much about this stuff guys, just pop your supps and get on with your day.

I feel the same way Quicksilver.Quiksilver said:
After taking in a lot of reading on Vitamin C, plus the input from the post, I feel comfortable taking 3,000mg a day.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
