For a long time I never took any vitamin C. I just thought I would get enough from my diet. I believe I was wrong and now take no more than 1,000 mg per day.
How much do you take and what did your transplant team tell you to take?

Do you take a buffered form or do you take ascorbic acid (vitamin C)

I just take a multiple vitamin. The other things that I ingest give me more. For example, I eat a lot of fruit, which includes mandarin oranges, plus at least one of the protein drinks that I consume has some in it. Actually, it contains 100% of RDA.

I get much of my vitamin C through the g-tube feedings I get at night as they are very nutrient rich. I also noticed that the Benecalorie supplement I take once a day to help me gain weight has vitamin C as one of the few vitamin and minerals it has in it. I can not handle the most obvious sources of vitamin C such as orange juice or some of the other fruits since they can aggravate my acid reflux. At least though I can handle sweet potatoes which are also a good source of vitamin C, and I love them. My transplant team has never mentioned anything about my vitamin C level.
