Do you take one or two Vitamin C every day?

I take once only. I'm taking Ascorbic Acid. I am new to this Vitamin C. For 16 years, I took Vitamin C manufactured by Kirland, USA. For those from USA, I don't know if you know this manufacturing company. The seller in Lim Ket Kai Center was temporarily closed due to virus for two years now, so sad. I was never sick of cough and cold before.
After I got flu I was thinking to take two tablets Vitamin C. This day, though no more flu but I have slight cough. I still wear a mask inside home.
Will it be better to take two Vitamin C tablets every day? How many do you take? Thanks for reading my dear friends.

I don`t take vitamin C now but I used to before when I was still studying. I only drink every morning as far as I can remember because too much of it will be useless it will go out of your body

@m_audrey6788, yes it's good only for the day. I used to take vitamin C everyday especially this time, but it seems my Vitamin C doesn't vouch me.

@cacay1 I have always taken Vitamin C even before the pandemic. It is the only vitamin that our body cannot produce.

I only take it once a day, 500mg of vitamin c but it's sodium ascorbate and not the ascorbic acid...
I need the non acidic..
My mother said she had read that 500mg is already more than enough...

@Butterfingers, that's good you have good health. When I was s teenager I always got sick so Doctor prescribed me the best vitamin c. It's somewhat expensive so I turned to vitamin c manufactured by Kirland USA, but they closed their store that's why I take Ascorbic Acid.

I don't always enjoy vitamin C in medicinal form, because I'm afraid it will have an effect on my kidneys.
but if vitamin c is in the form of fruits I can enjoy it every day
I only take vitamin C tablets if I personally feel my immunity is decreasing

@cacay1 thanks 
. I drink ginger water with brown sugar once a week and also eat fruits. It's hard for me to swallow tablets or pills.
