Want proof? Check out these numbers:

According to a 2005 report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), 31% of Americans have an inadequate intake of vitamin C.

Another study found that our vegetables have, on average, lost about 20% of their vitamin C content.
According to The Bottom Line's Daily Health News, a century ago the odds of dying from heart disease were 1 in 24. Now they have skyrocketed to 1 in 7.

The same study also looked at cancer, and the results were depressingly similar. A century ago, the odds of dying from cancer were 1 in 49. Now they have jumped up to 1 in 7...identical to heart disease.

Therefore, there is a need for vitamin C supplements. The next question is: “What is the right dosage?” Good question.

For starters, most researchers who have seriously studied this issue agree that the National Institute of Health's (NIH) Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of 90 mg per adult male and 75 mg for adult females is pathetically inadequate.

Remember that humans cannot synthesize vitamin C. Other mammals like guinea pigs, chimpanzees and apes have this same lack of ability, and routinely take in 20 to 40 times the amount of Vitamin C daily when adjusted for body weight.
