Taking 1 or 2 gm of vitamin C every day will help to boost your immune system.

The Vitamin C Foundation actually recommends 3 gm (3,000 mg) per day but most health authorities recommend less.

it is but in certain doses, anything about 500ml is just runnign straigt through you, ur pretty much buying expensive urine

I don't think too much will seriously hurt you, and what your body doesn't use, it tends to throw away, if you are recovering from a cold it is a good idea to take a little more.
