I got a bit more interested a couple years ago in getting a normal amount of C actually from food.. I started taking a cap of pure acerola cherry.. which provides about 140% a day.. (125 mg) and then I eat either a cutie orange or a kiwi which takes it up over 200% a day.. and then there are other foods that have some I consume over the day.. for colds and if I fee a need for extra I have some orange flavored chewables that my insurance company has.. 2 make a gram. not too much other crap in them.. works for me.. I probably get 300% at least from food and the acerola cherry a day.. sometimes more.. and my chewy vitamins give another 100%

I consume quite a good bit of fruits and veggies.. I eat high colored fruits including the cherries and blueberries for my eyes since I have diabetes. And my regular cherries I buy frozen.. are a good pain reliever...

My eyes are in very good shape from the colored raw stuff I eat... I have a freezer and stock on the frozen berries and cherries when on sale.. mostly organic as available to me.

a little supplemental vit C is good during hayfever times and I also puree whole organic lemons mixed with whatever.. as the white stuff in all citrus is one of natures best antihistamines.. best tasting and generous in lemons.. I have been on lemons during hay fever for a long time now... I will use grapefruit rinds in the mix.. orange is way to strong tasting.. I go get natural C of course from the lemons.
