Vitamin C is water soluble vitamin..... Excess will be excreted through urine. So don't worry. But taking it regularly may reduce vitamin C absorption from gut. Better to take foods with rich vitamin C, that will be more than enough.
Tomato juice , red bell peppers , guava, strawberries, papaya, broccoli, pineapple are good sources of vitamin C ..... I'm sure you will get all of them through your diet

Vitamin C tablets are generally safe for daily use when taken in the recommended dosage. If your dietary intake is insufficient, supplementation may be helpful. However, excessive intake can cause acidity, nausea, abdominal discomfort, and diarrhoea. Long-term use of high doses may increase the risk of kidney stones, particularly in susceptible individuals.
Next Steps
Consult if you have a history of kidney stones or kidney disease.
Health Tips
Prefer vitamin C-rich foods such as amla, oranges, guava, and lemons. If dietary intake is inadequate, a supplement may be considered in an appropriate dose. Routine high-dose supplementation is usually unnecessary in healthy individuals

Vitamin C tablets can generally be taken daily if dietary intake is insufficient. At the recommended doses, they are usually safe and well tolerated. However, excessive intake may cause acidity, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhoea, and high doses may increase the risk of kidney stones in susceptible individuals.
The recommended daily intake for an 18-year-old female is approximately 65 mg/day. A balanced diet rich in citrus fruits, amla, guava, kiwi, tomatoes and other vegetables usually provides sufficient vitamin C. Supplements are useful when dietary intake is inadequate or a deficiency is suspected.
Avoid unnecessarily high doses or prolonged supplementation without medical advice. If you are taking other medications or have a history of kidney stones or kidney disease, consult your doctor before starting regular supplementation.

Hello,
Yes, vitamin C tablets can be taken daily when your dietary intake is insufficient. However, the appropriate dose is important.
Vitamin C supports immunity, collagen formation, wound healing, and iron absorption.
For an adult woman, the recommended daily intake is approximately 75 mg, which can usually be obtained through a balanced diet.
Low-dose supplementation is generally safe, but taking unnecessarily high doses for prolonged periods may cause side effects such as acidity, nausea, abdominal cramps, and diarrhoea.
Next Steps
Prioritise dietary sources such as amla, guava, oranges, kiwi, capsicum, and tomatoes. If your dietary intake is inadequate, a supplement providing approximately 75â100 mg of vitamin C daily is usually sufficient. If supplementation is needed, take it according to the recommended dosage, preferably with food if it causes stomach irritation. Avoid routine high-dose supplementation, such as 500â1,000 mg daily, unless medically indicated. Consult a physician if you have a history of kidney stones, kidney disease, or suspected nutritional deficiency.
Health Tips
Vitamin C is water-soluble, but this does not mean unlimited supplementation is harmless. The tolerable upper intake limit for adults is 2,000 mg daily, although considerably lower doses are usually sufficient. High doses may cause digestive discomfort and may increase urinary oxalate in susceptible individuals. My recommendation: If your diet does not provide enough vitamin C, a low-dose daily supplement is reasonable. There is generally no additional benefit from taking megadoses when your vitamin C levels are adequate. Wishing you good health!

Vitamin C tablets are generally very safe for daily use, including when your diet doesn't give you enough on its own. At normal supplement doses it rarely causes problems for a healthy person.
Next Steps
Taking it with food can help if you notice any stomach upset. If you already get vitamin C from fruits and vegetables regularly, you may only need a tablet on days your diet falls short, rather than every single day.
Health Tips
Very high doses over a long time can cause stomach upset or raise the risk of kidney stones in people prone to them. Please consult a physician if you plan to take it regularly for a long period.
