This is very high dose women need around 75 mg of vitamin c daily, while men need as much as 90 mg. Since vitamin c is water soluble, your body will excrete any excess vitamin c that it doesn't need.

For adults, the recommended dietary reference intake for vitamin c is 65 to 90 milligrams (mg) a day, and the upper limit is 2, 000 mg a day. Although too much dietary vitamin c is unlikely to be harmful, megadoses of vitamin c supplements may cause: diarrhea. Nausea.
