Mega dosing is the idea that large amounts of supplements like Vitamin C or Vitamin E are good for you. This conclusion was drawn after some research done by Linus Pauling in the 1960's, but it seems that the interpretation of the data is incorrect.
More modern studies in Germany at the University of Jana have concluded that there seems to be a detriment to megadosing of Vitamins C & E. While regular doses of these vitamins are ok, large amounts can subvert some of the benefits for exercise by neutralizing reactive oxygen species, which help the metabolism. They discovered that diabetics could have some of the benefits of exercise negated if they were megadosing on Vitamins E & C at the same time.
