Since about 6 weeks ago, I asked colleagues whose knowledge I respect to be my guest in a weekly weekend webinar about anything and everything to support our health and healthy lifestyle. The 6th webinar last weekend was about Vitamin C, this aimed to answer all doubts regarding high dose vitamin C (6 grams per day orally or up to 90mg infusion per day). Dr Aris Wibudi, a well-known Endocrinologist who once served in Indonesian Presidential Team of Doctor was my guest.
While Vitamin C is needed literally in everything inside us to function, our body can't make it so we are dependent on external vitamin C source, be it from food, supplementation or injection and infusion.
Here again we need to be our own body whisperer on how much vitamin C our body need. People with acute viral infection need more than those who are not sick, and people with chronic condition need way more... And 1000mg per day might be way lower than enough for us.
