Daily vitamin C supplementation is generally safe when taken in appropriate doses. However, high doses may cause acidity, nausea, abdominal cramps, and diarrhoea. Long-term excessive intake may increase the risk of kidney stones in susceptible individuals.
Advice: Prefer natural sources such as amla, guava, oranges, and lemons. If supplementation is required, a low-dose vitamin C supplement (e.g., 100–200 mg daily) is usually sufficient for most adults, depending on dietary intake and individual needs. Avoid unnecessary high-dose supplementation, especially if you have kidney disease or a history of kidney stones.

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 is generally very safe when taken daily at the usual amount found in standard supplements, since it's water-soluble and any extra is simply passed out in urine. Taking much higher amounts for long periods can occasionally cause stomach upset, diarrhoea, or kidney stones in people who are prone to them.
Next Steps
A standard daily vitamin C tablet from any reputed pharmacy brand works fine for general use, so there's no need to chase a specific "best" product. Getting enough from citrus fruits, amla, and vegetables covers most people's needs too.
Health Tips
If you have a history of kidney stones, please check with a physician before starting any vitamin C supplement regularly.
