Vitamin C deficiency can cause shortness of breath. i just started using the ester c, 3000 mg a day.

Thanks for sharing, I did not know that!

I checked the label on mine for correct dosage, because 3000mg sounded like a lot. Mine are 500mg tablets. (I take two). The dose recommended is one tablet, up to a maximum of three a day (1500mg). The daily intake of vitamin C should NOT exceed 2000mg.

my chiropractor told me to take 2000 a day cause i smoke but i found a website saying you can take more, the most that will happen is you will get diahrea and if that happens you can cut back a little and he said make sure its the ester c. its better then reg vit c.
