The recommended daily intake varies by age and health status but typically ranges from 75 to 90 mg for adults, with supplemental doses commonly ranging from 500 to 1000 mg daily for immune support. Vitamin C is best taken with water and can be consumed with food to reduce the potential for gastrointestinal discomfort.
Safety, Side Effects, and Interactions
Vitamin C is generally safe when taken at recommended dosages. Large doses (above 2000 mg per day) may cause gastrointestinal disturbances such as diarrhea or nausea. Vitamin C may interact with certain chemotherapy drugs and statins; consultation with a healthcare provider is advised before supplementation during medical treatment or pregnancy.
