The recommended daily amount of vitamin C varies depending on age, gender, and overall health status. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the recommended daily intake of vitamin C for healthy adults is 75-90 milligrams per day. Here are some examples of recommended daily vitamin C intake for different age groups:
- Infants (0-6 months): 40 milligrams/day
- Infants (7-12 months): 50 milligrams/day
- Children (1-3 years): 15-30 milligrams/day
- Children (4-8 years): 25-50 milligrams/day
- Children (9-13 years): 45-75 milligrams/day
- Teenage girls (14-18 years): 65-80 milligrams/day
- Pregnant women: 85 milligrams/day
- Breastfeeding women: 120 milligrams/day
- Teenage boys and men (19 years and older): 90 milligrams/day
It's important to get the recommended daily amount of vitamin C through a balanced diet that includes a variety of healthy foods. If you need to supplement your daily intake of vitamin C, consult with your healthcare provider or a registered dietitian to determine the appropriate dose based on your individual needs and health status.
