Vitamin C:
So how much vitamin C should you take?
Do you need a supplement?
Consider this:
- minimum need is 10mg
- RDA is 60mg
- 2/3 RDA is 40mg
- most vitamin C supplements are 500mg to 1 gram (1000mg)
- 3/4 cup orange juice has nearly 100mg
- no benefit seen in taking over 100-300mg daily
Do the “unknown benefits” outweigh the known risks?
