The USDA recommended dosages is based on the very minimum amount needed to keep a human alive during wartime, they were developed for WW2. So its really old research for one thing. Natural sourced vitamins are better for you - using rosehips instead of Walmart brand Vit C. Personally I like Ester-C, it lets you use a lot less but because it is more easily absorbed by the body. My doctor told me to use Vit C when ill using 1000 mg an hour until bowel intolerance is reached (ie squirts and/or gas). This always helps. I'm also a big fan of zinc lozenges for sore throats. But if you're drinking soda and eating shit it won't help you much anyway.
