His recommended amount in "How to Live Longer and Feel Better" is fairly reasonable. 65-90mg a day for adults although he still believed getting the first 250mg is the most important for various health conditions.
- moralestapia 3y agoHave you heard of Vitamin pills?
- thenerdhead 3y agoIt was an indirect comparison to describe how tedious it is to get the amount he initially suggested...

- thenerdhead 3y agoYou're missing the point. You're going to excrete majority of that in one go/day (even timed release).
- moralestapia 3y agoYou're missing your point, lol. Your argument was about how hard it is to get it in, now you talk about how easy it is to get it out (arguably?).
- thenerdhead 3y agoIt was a dumb comparison that people took literally. Obviously you wouldn’t eat that many oranges and yes you can get it in supplements or through IV efficiently. I have no arguments to make here, just dumb remarks on how many oranges you would need to get the recommended controversial amount.
- cco 3y agoIf my recollection serves, you're unable to absorb vitamin C efficiently enough to reach serum levels found to be effective, so the treatment protocol was for vitamin C infusions.
- thenerdhead 3y agoIf you eat natural foods with it in it, the body does fine absorbing it. If you take high doses, the absorption efficiency decreases. In other words, you piss it out. If you did 200-400mg, you'd probably retain 90% of that. If you did 1000mg+, you'd retain 50%.
- majkinetor 3y agoAnd that is wrong and easily checkable by bowel tollerance which varies tremendously with different stressors. Also there are liposomes that are absorbed almost 100%
- majkinetor 3y agoHis recommended amount in that book was 18 grams.
