High-dose vitamin C 'doubles kidney stone risk'

Regularly taking high-dose vitamin C pills can double the risk of kidney stones, say researchers.

They made their finding after looking at the incidence of kidney stones over 11 years in 23,355 men.

Those who took vitamin C supplements - which typically contain 1,000 milligrammes per tablet - were at twice the risk of developing the stones compared to men who took no vitamins.

Those who took the high-dose pills most regularly were at the highest risk.

But taking vitamin C as part of a multi-vitamin - which tend to contain much lower doses of the vitamin - did not raise the risk, found the researchers from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden.

Kidney stones are small crystals of waste matter that form and can block a part of the organ or the urinary tract, causing intense pain. They affect 10 to 20 per cent of men and three to five per cent of women.
