	I had a soccer coach in high school that had us take 3g of vitamin C 
a day. This was to reduce the chances of getting bruises and charlie-horses.  
Does such a megadose defend against bruising and charlie-horses?

	One of the bad side effects was that it gave us all a mild case of 
the runs; the more V-C, the more you run.
