How much Vitamin C should I be getting per day?
user
I can give you general guidelines that may be useful. We recommend adults to get 60 milligrams of vitamin C per day. We also recommend that vegans get 100 milligrams, while for the elderly and those with poor digestive system and liver function we recommend 80 milligrams per day. We recommend that pregnant and breastfeeding mothers get 90 milligrams per day.

If you don't get enough vitamin C you may experience headaches, fatigue, and muscle pain. You can also experience weight loss or gain and trouble absorbing iron. You may also notice it's harder for your immune system to fight off viruses and bacteria.
