Al-Marsad Newspaper – Agencies: The German Health Center has warned that excessive intake of vitamin “C” increases the risk of developing kidney stones, especially in people suffering from high blood pressure, diabetes or people who do not drink enough fluids.
The German center justified this, that the body does not eliminate the excess amount of vitamin “C” through the urine, but converts it into “oxalic acid”, which consists of most kidney stones.
To avoid the risk of developing kidney stones, it is not allowed to take food supplements containing vitamin C unless under the supervision of a doctor.
