I'm starting to feel a little cold symptom, a sore throat. I get colds almost every winter. I was diagnosed with ME/CFS last month and we're pretty sure my symptoms first appeared in Aug 2019, and things are tricky with COVID 'cause my immune system is busted from mold toxins.
I'm planning to start taking vitamin C. Any recommendations on the dosage? For males, the avg recommended dosage is about 90mg. I was planning to take 400mg.
Info online:
For adults, the daily upper limit of vitamin C is 2,000 mg. Vitamin C is water-soluble, making it hard for your body to store it — with excess being secreted in your urine. So even if you're adult and can handle the 1,000 mg in each vitamin C packet or pill, just know that your body can't absorb (or, therefore, use) more than about 400 mg.
