According to the general opinion, doses of vitamin C recommended by the National Food and Nutrition Institute are only a necessary minimum, and the optimum dose is much higher. Therefore, other recommendations are also proposed.

of fruit and vegetables a day recommended in the campaign “5 A Day”, provide 200–250 mg of vitamin C a day. There are also recommendations for using much higher doses, but it is accepted that the safe dose of vitamin C does not exceed 1000 mg per day.

Basing on interview and test results, the attending physician is able to determine which nutrients - and at what doses - are needed by a given person.
