Researchers from the United Kingdom that large doses of ascorbic acid or vitamin C can slow down muscle recovery after exercise. The study included healthy men to take 1,000 mg of vitamin C daily. This amount is higher than the required vitamin C every day.
The results revealed that these men have seen a significant decrease in the strength of their muscles. Their power diminished even with intensive training including running for one full week.
And this group were compared with those who took vitamin C also to the group who did not take these supplements. The team that was skipped gain supplements are much better in terms of muscle strength and growth.
There have been previous studies, however, have shown that a moderate amount of vitamin C, 100-500 mg per day, can actually speed up muscle recovery. But this British study revealed that more vitamin C may not necessarily be the best. In fact, it even slows down the recovery process.

I would recommend reducing the intake of vitamin C 500 mg every day. This is the same amount recommended by the Japanese study for the prevention of common colds.
