What is the recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C?
Dietitians say we need a minimum of 30 mg of Vitamin C daily, and the Food and Nutrition Board’s recommended dietary allowance for the vitamin is 50 mg daily for children, 60 for adults, and 70 to 90 mg daily for pregnant women and women who are breastfeeding. Because Vitamin C is water-soluble, your body flushes out whatever it doesn’t use, so it’s important to get some Vitamin C every day.
