Benefits of Vitamin C

• Antioxidant: Protects cells from damage by removing free radicals
• Immune boosting: Activates white blood cells
• Collagen production: Supports healthy skin
• Enhances iron absorption

Dosage & Absorption Rate

• Recommended intake: 100mg–2000mg daily
• Absorption decreases at high doses; excess is excreted

Overdose Method (High-Dose Intake)

• Purpose: To boost immunity during cold symptoms
• Caution: May cause gastrointestinal discomfort (diarrhea, bloating)

Summary
Yuhan Vitamin C 1000mg (OTC) is recommended.
Avoid taking more than 1000mg at once due to reduced absorption.
If using high-dose method, split into multiple 1000mg doses.
Personally, I don’t recommend the overdose method.
