A vitamin C dose as low as 10 milligrams per day was sufficient to correct scurvy in studies from the 1930s and 40s, with no observed clinical benefit from higher doses.

“the amount of vitamin C intake required to prevent scurvy is remarkably low remarkably low ten milligrams even as well in excess of what is actually physiologically required in order to prevent scurvy”

“what they found was that all 10 of the volunteers deprived of vitamin C developed the signs of scurvy in six to eight months”

“in the study from the conscientious objectors in the 1935 they didn't actually try a lower dose than tell them milligrams of vitamin C”

“interestingly a dose of vitamin C as low as 10 milligrams a day was enough to correct scurvy and the investigators in those studies note that there were no clinical differences in people when they got more than 10 milligrams of vitamin C”

“they gave them scurvy yeah it took six to eight months they gave them scurvy and then they and then they gave them a small amount of vitamin C and they the lowest dose they gave them was 10 milligrams of vitamin C all the scurvy was gone yeah and then they gave people 70 milligrams of vitamin C a day and all the scurvy was gone and there was no clinical difference in the two groups between the two groups”

“it only took ten milligrams of vitamin C a day and perhaps could have even been less but that was the lowest dose they gave people to reverse the clinical signs and symptoms of scurvy and what they found was that there was no benefit to any more vitamin C in any of the metrics that they were checking there was no clinical benefit there was no Sarah logic or biochemical benefit”

“the lowest dose they gave was ten milligrams and it completely reversed scurvy”

“the studies from the 1930s and 1940s with the conscientious objectors use 10 milligrams it's the lowest dose”

“we know that doses as low as 10 milligrams will cure scurvy”
