Vitamin C is a very important one and probably the most well known - for good reason. Obviously the optimum amounts are much greater than recommended by physicians or the FDA. The recommended daily allowances (RDA) are set at a level just high enough to prevent the disease associated with the deficiency of the vitamin or mineral in question. Optimum or therapeutic levels provide a great deal more benefits, especially in reference to Vitamin C. One can take any amount of ascorbic acid without the least bit of danger.
