I have to ask why I need a higher vit c concentration. Why MUST the RDA be raised? Every time I look at this I fail to be convinced, maybe because vit c gives me mouth sores using a 200 mg supplement.

URL is to sell Dr Hickey's,et al, books.

"Description: The relationship between vitamin C and health is controversial. "

Do you have a ref for "extra" vit c in mind?
