Post Going past bowel tolerance
So what happens if you get past the point of bowel tolerance and continue to saturate your cells with a plentiful dose of vitamin c? Would this be a bad idea?

To find bowel tolerance you have to go past the point of saturation, otherwise you haven't reached it yet.

Then you can answer your question all too easily on the toilet yourself ;-)

Right, bowel tolerance indicates the MOST your body can absorb, and we are all different.

If you do want to obtain more than your body can normally absorb in the digestive tract, the answer seems to be the liposomal form, e.g. Lypo-C from livonlabs.com

In 2009 I wrote about my experience with this here:

and in 2011 here:

It would depend on whether or not you wanted to get a case of diarrhea and clear out your bowels.

The following diagram may be instructive. Good luck.

I do not think that going past the bowel tolerance too often is good idea. You may induce dysbiosis that way. There is no research about so its a speculation. I asked Thomas Levy about it and he couldn't guarantee me that some level of it doesn't happen based on his clinical experience.

@VanCanada
What is the source of that image, I couldn't find anything ?

Sorry folks for the delay. I guess I missed seeing "majkinetor's" question.

I found the graph from Owen's very own Vitamin C Foundation homepage (about eighty percent down this very long page):
http://www.vitamincfoundation.org/

But there you will see Owen provides a link to where he himself found it:

and that is the January 2009 Townsend Letter_____________________Image
