How much Vitamin C do we need a day?

Question

I am just wondering!

Answer 1

500 mg twice a day. In that way you really well protected. What the body can't use, comes out in your urine.

One of the best antioxidant.

Answer 2

There was a guy, I think his name was Pahling and he was taking something like 30,000 mg of vitamin c a day.

He says that we don't get enough.  Based on what he was doing, if you aren't taking that much, then I'm sure your not taking to much.

Answer 3

not as much as most people think. 250mg a day is enough for the average person. if you are a smoker you might want to kick it up to 500. the body can't store C and smoking destroys it.
