The Vitamin C Foundation actually recommends 3 gm (3,000 mg) of vitamin C per day (3 times 1 gm) but most health experts recommend a lot less.

The late Dr Linus Pauling actually recommended 5 gm per day but he was obsessed with vitamin C.

Its not dangerous but its also not necessary.
You get all the vitamins you need in a normal diet. Rarely do you need to take any type of vitamin supplement.

your body will get rid of it, through urine

wind it up
