Question: Does everyone need to supplement with vitamin C?
Dr. Brownstein's Answer:
Humans cannot manufacture vitamin C in their bodies. Vitamin C is an essential nutrient, and we cannot live without it. Therefore, we have to get adequate amounts of it in our diet or supplement with it.
Unfortunately, the vitamin C content of our food has declined over the years. Radiating food has made the situation worse. I recommend everyone to supplement with C, generally 2,000 to 5,000 mg a day. If you get loose stools with vitamin C, lower the dose.
