I take once only. I'm taking Ascorbic Acid. I am new to this Vitamin C. For 16 years, I took Vitamin C manufactured by Kirland, USA. For those from USA, I don't know if you know this manufacturing company. The seller in Lim Ket Kai Center was temporarily closed due to virus for two years now, so sad. I was never sick of cough and cold before. After I got flu I was thinking to take two tablets Vitamin C. This day, though no more flu but I have slight cough. I still wear a mask inside home. Will it be better to take two Vitamin C tablets every day? How many do you take? Thanks for reading my dear friends.

I don`t take vitamin C now but I used to before when I was still studying. I only drink every morning as far as I can remember because too much of it will be useless it will go out of your body

@cacay1 I have always taken Vitamin C even before the pandemic. It is the only vitamin that our body cannot produce.

I only started taking vitamin C religiously since the pandemic. But when I completed my 2 doses of vaccine, I only take Vitamin C if I feel like it. Lol!

@cacay1 actually, our company provided us 30 pcs of Vitamin C every month. But I don't rely on it so much. There's an oral immunization for symptoms of colds that we're taking. It's effect will last up to 3 months.

Maybe since I was fully vaccinated I don't get sick easily so I don't need vitamin C anymore.

I only take it once a day, 500mg of vitamin c but it's sodium ascorbate and not the ascorbic acid... I need the non acidic.. My mother said she had read that 500mg is already more than enough...

@Butterfingers, that's good you have good health. When I was s teenager I always got sick so Doctor prescribed me the best vitamin c. It's somewhat expensive so I turned to vitamin c manufactured by Kirland USA, but they closed their store that's why I take Ascorbic Acid.

I don't always enjoy vitamin C in medicinal form, because I'm afraid it will have an effect on my kidneys. but if vitamin c is in the form of fruits I can enjoy it every day I only take vitamin C tablets if I personally feel my immunity is decreasing
