A member asked:
Can taking vit c in large doses ( such as 1g or more ) for a long time ( 6 months) can lighten the skin? i'm using 1g of vit c effervescent
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No problem: You can take that kind of dose "until the cows come home". But vitamin c does not work on its own. Neither do you need to take it as an effervescent. You should take a well rounded multivitamin at the same time.
