The link above suggested something like 100mg per day for a vit C dose. I think that is way to low, although a number of factors must be considered. Since we all vary genetically, there is no 1 single vit C dose for everyone. People who weight train and/or perform cardio on a regular basis require far more vit C (along with all of the other micronutrients) than those who are inactive. I take 3 scoops of the Life Extension Mix (http://www.lef.org) morning, noon, and night for maintenance. During dieting, colds, flus, etc I up it to 6 scoops per day. The RDAs are the minimal amount requirred to merely avoid a deficiency - this is far less than what is requirred for the body to function optimally. My .02, Justin Hasselman
