You can take natural sources freely as if it’s consuming is little bit high as per daily consumption then don’t need to worry about as it removes through urine - being a water soluble vitamin.
If you are taking supplement then once per day is fine if problem is not severe.
There are rich sources like fruits and vegetables like oranges, lemons, amla (Indian gooseberry), guavas, strawberries, and bell peppers can help meet the daily vitamin C requirements naturally.
Next Steps
Talk to dietician before starting supplements.

Healthy evening
The best way to take vitamin C supplements 2-3 times per day , with meals depending on the dosage
The adults should take 250- 500 mg twice a day for benefits
Talk to your physician before taking more than 1000 mg of vitamin C
Vitamin C is water soluble, making it hard for your body to store it- with excess being secreted in the urine .
Liposomal vitamin c is best because there is almost always a gut malabsorption problem underneath a severe deficiency.
