Humphries says it’s hard for people to get enough vitamin C solely through diet. She says there is no way to give a set dosage for everyone. It depends on many different personal and environmental circumstances. As a general guideline though she says people should be getting 200-1000mg a day if they are healthy and stress-free (1:24:50). The amount should increase if you’re sick, stressed, pregnant, drinking, or smoking.
