Think 500mg of Vitamin C is enough? Think again. Learn why your body may need 1,000mg or more to fight stress, support immunity, and stay resilient—especially in midlife.

🍊 Still Taking 500mg of Vitamin C? Here’s Why That Might Not Be Enough

Many labels say “500mg is enough”—but is it really? Stress, age, and chronic fatigue all raise your body’s demand for Vitamin C. Let’s break down why you might need more.

📈 How Much Do You Really Need?

Studies show that 1,000–3,000mg daily, split into doses, works better. Vitamin C isn’t stored well—you need a steady supply to stay protected.

⚠️ When Your Body Needs More

• 😷 When you’re sick or rundown
• 🧠 Under high stress (work, parenting, etc.)
• 🚬 If you smoke, drink alcohol, or take certain meds

💪 Benefits of Higher-Dose C

• Boosts immunity and reduces inflammation
• Supports adrenal glands (stress recovery)
• May lower blood pressure by helping with sodium loss
• Helps flush out toxins like lead and mercury

🚫 What About Kidney Stones?

With enough water + magnesium and vitamin B6, real-world studies show no increased risk. Listen to your body and hydrate well.

✅ How to Take It

Take 500–1,000mg 2–3x a day with meals. During illness or high stress, increase the frequency—not just the dose.
