Cherry picking 2 studies out of zillions and calling it science? Good job

  > well established from multiple studies, easy to google That's not all of them. You can find systematic reviews and meta-analyses walking trough them all. Easy to google. 50-100 mg per day is OK and possible has some benefits, if you go to more than 2 grams like you suggested for health person, there is no evidence of benefits, only harms.

    There are literary thousands of papers on C every year, basically all are positive. Animals make it in grams, all of them on this planet. Yet you claim 50mg is only OK. Get serious.

      Phrases like "get serious" don’t contribute meaningfully to the discussion. This is a serious topic and deserves a well-informed, balanced perspective. Recommending that people take over 2 grams of vitamin C daily -- without context or medical guidance —- is irresponsible. I'm sorry, but offering such advice in a public forum without acknowledging potential risks or the need for individual consideration can be genuinely harmful.

  There are a large number of studies on this topic, in part because vitamin C supplements are so widely used and easily accessible. Several people have already shared relevant research in this thread. Before promoting high-dose supplementation as universally safe or beneficial, I strongly recommend doing more in-depth research. It’s important to understand the potential risks especially since this kind of advice, if followed without medical oversight, can have serious health consequences.
