Vitamin C helps to boost your immune system so you won't get sick as easily. 500mg day is fine if you're just doing it for wellness reasons. If you feel yourself getting sick, I would take up to 1000 mg or more. 500mg is fine to give to kids as well.

I take 1000mg everyday in tablet form. I dont think we suppose to take more than 1000mg, because our body is only need not even half from what we take.
For sure we need to drink a lot of water, because vit C can form crystal and can become stone (kidney stone,calcification, etc)
As for kids, just give them multivitamin special for kids, but not to give 1000 mg Vit c perday. Because they don't need as much as 1000mg, and they need spesific amount of vitamins (multi vitamin) for their growth
