The article does not give any recommendations regarding how much (i.e., how many mg. ) of Vitamin C the average person should take.
That is true. I would suggest taking something is better than nothing for this purpose.
ConsumerLab.com says 50-100 mg a day is the minimum we need, with any daily amount over 500 mg to 2,000 mg a day for colds, gout, high blood pressure, etc, increasing the risk of cataracts, according to studies.

From the vitamin C information, I’d say 500 mg a day, time release, would be the happy compromise.
“how many mg. ) of Vitamin C the average person should take.
Dr Linus Pauling, wo wrote the book on Vit C said you can’t take too much. I have been taking Vit C with Rose Hips for many years and I have never had to flu or even a cold. I take 2000 mil now because of covid. I take all the other recommended vitamins. D3, B12, Zink. I’ve stayed healthy so far (87).
