Is 1000mg of vitamin C a day too much?
According to NHS guidance, taking less than 1,000mg of vitamin C a day is unlikely to cause harm, while taking more than 1,000mg a day may cause stomach pain, diarrhoea and flatulence. This product provides 1000mg per capsule, so take one capsule a day and do not exceed the stated dose.
Can't I just get enough vitamin C from my diet?
The NHS advises that adults aged 19 to 64 need 40mg of vitamin C a day, and this can usually be obtained from a varied, balanced diet. This supplement provides a much higher, concentrated 1000mg dose in a single daily capsule for anyone wanting a more concentrated intake.
How long does a pack of 100 capsules last?
At the recommended dose of one capsule a day, a pack of 100 capsules provides more than three months' supply.
