So yeah, this is no troll post of any kind.
Ever since I was a child I love vitamin pills wether they were the tangy C or Flintstone vitamins. Present day, the habit stuck for one of them and I love sucking on the tangy Vitamin C tablets throughout the day. Sometimes I take more than recommended for daily consumption and it does lead to some issues for me but I just can’t stop because they taste so good. Honestly, these taste better than most candy for me. I buy a few every month and just indulge myself. These tablets feel like the pure ecstasy to me.
I couldn’t really find any other threads like this so I wanted to see if there was anyone else who also indulged on these.

Look into drinking extra water so you don’t accidentally brick your kidneys!
Also, you can’t just talk about being addicted to chewable vitamin C tablets without sharing what you think are the best tasting citrus tablets!
“Brick your kidneys” 🤣 I could hug you.
Thank you for the concern about the kidneys I definitely drink more water these days but could always drink a bit more!
https://www.amazon.ca/Jamieson-Chewable-Vitamin-500-Citrus/dp/B003M5BX0G <——— this right here is my go to! I think it has that perfect amount of tang for me a real treat for the tastebuds!
Heck those little fuckers are delicious! Full of sugar and tangy acetic acid! Your body will flush the excess C if you stay well hydrated, but be aware of the sugar, you don’t want diabetes as you age. Rinse your teeth to get off the sugar and acid. If you are living so clean that this is what you have to confess, go to your local hospital blood bank and give them a pint every couple months.
I mean I definitely get it with the citrus ones. Don’t imagine there’s a problem if you keep it under the max and try to keep it well under if you’re eating them daily. You’re probably getting C from other things you’re not measuring.
Some candies that are somewhat close… Sprees, Bottle Caps, Smarties, Sweettarts…
If you want to end the obsession; one thing to try is to find one of those immuno boosters or vitamin C things that are meant to be mixed into a glass of water… Just try and chew it. (Keep water available, but chew it like a vitamin)
Simple solution, make your own. They are basically fake sugar plus citric acid (both of which are available in most stores)
Then look online for some candy recipes and find the ones that appeals to you.
Make a few batches with different levels of sugar and acid.
After a few tries you will get it just right, then it’s easy to make a single big batch and enjoy a nice snack with no vitamin overdose risk.
What kind?

As long as you drink enough water to keep your kidneys kicking then that’s about the least harmful addiction you could possibly have.
