I was privileged to see Dr. Linus Pauling give a talk on Vitamin C, Ascorbic Acid, in the late 60s. We asked him how much he took a day and he said, "I take 8 Grams, 8000mg, per day of the industrial powdered form." I take 4,000 mg per day, in the capsule form, 500mg - usually 4 caps in the morning and 4 caps at night, after meals.

Lots of data out there on Vitamin C. It's not a panacea, but it helps boost the immune system and fight inflammation.

From Here. "Experts continue to argue about whether antioxidants like vitamin C can prevent heart disease. But some of the evidence is highly persuasive. When Finnish researchers looked at studies involving nearly 300,000 people over 10 years, they found that taking more than 700 milligrams of C supplements daily reduced the risk of cardiovascular disease by 25 percent. And a recent study from Harvard University researchers hints that women who take a combo of 500 milligrams of vitamin C daily and 600 IU of vitamin E (another antioxidant) can cut their risk of stroke by 30 percent."

So, some C, E and maybe a baby aspirin a day. . As always, check with your Doctor.

Oral doses of liposomally-encapsulated Vitamin C can reportedly produce levels in the bloodstream previously only attainable via IV.
