, and there's undoubtedly benefits to making sure you're getting enough of this important nutrient.
Because our bodies don't produce vitamin C naturally, we need to get it through foods that contain vitamin C, or through a supplement, or through a combination of the two. Both Dr. Mysore and Hisana Qamar, MD, a family physician atin Las Vegas, agreed that you should try to get your daily dose of vitamin C through food."Adults should aim for 60 to 90 mg of vitamin C per day, and try not to exceed 2,000 mg per day," Dr. Qamar told POPSUGAR.
As for timing, vitamin C can be taken at any time during the day. In fact, Dr. Mysore recommends taking the supplement in several small quantities throughout the day, while Dr. Qamar suggests."I usually advise my patients to take vitamins in the day, and not before bedtime so they don't sit in the stomach during sleep," Dr. Qamar said."Vitamin C is acidic, and avoiding bedtime consumption may prevent unnecessary heartburn.
