Khaberni - Vitamin C is one of the most common and widely used vitamins, due to its known role in supporting immunity, boosting iron absorption, and contributing to the health of skin and blood vessels. However, a question many ask is: How much vitamin C does the body actually need daily? And does excessive intake provide additional benefits or could it cause harm?
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States, the recommended daily amount of vitamin C for adults is about 75 mg for women and 90 mg for men, an amount that can be easily obtained from the diet without the need for supplements in most cases, according to a health report by the scientific site "VeryWellHealth".
The daily requirements of vitamin C vary according to age and physiological condition. Children need less, ranging from 15 to 45 mg daily, depending on age group, while pregnant women need about 85 mg daily, and the amount increases for breastfeeding women to 120 mg.
