Vitamin C is important for many reasons. It helps to:

  • - Boost the immune system
  • - Help the body absorb iron from plant-based foods
  • - Make collagen
  • - Support healthy skin, bones, and joints

How Much Vitamin C Do We Need?

The recommended daily amount of vitamin C for adults is 500 to 5000 milligrams (mg). Smokers need 1000 mg more vitamin C than nonsmokers each day. pregnant women need 500 mg of vitamin C daily, and women who are breastfeeding need 500 mg daily.

Good sources of vitamin C include:

  • - citrus fruits such as oranges and grapefruit
  • - strawberries
  • - tomatoes
  • - broccoli
  • - Brussels sprouts

The best way to ensure you are getting enough Vitamin C per day is by taking a supplement. While it is possible to get some Vitamin C from food sources, it can be difficult to get enough this way. Taking a supplement is an easy way to make sure you are getting the recommended amount each day.
