Vitamin C - Dosage Recommendations

Introduction

This section outlines the various dosage protocols for Vitamin C supplementation or dietary intake.

Oral Vitamin C

       Supplemental Vitamin C should ideally be taken at four hour intervals as the body excretes most ingested Vitamin C within four hours after ingestion (although some is stored within various organs).

       Do not consume Iron supplements at the same time as megadoses of Vitamin C.

       The large quantities of Vitamin C advocated by Dr. Linus Pauling can be reduced significantly if Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins (OPCs) are supplemented simultaneously with Vitamin C (as OPCs are highly synergistic with Vitamin C).
