The recommended dosage of 2 capsules per day on our label is intended as a preventive or maintenance measure. However, if you are addressing a more acute issue or sense the onset of infection or illness, a therapeutic dosage might be more appropriate, which would be 2 capsules every 2-3 hours. Thanks to the liposomal formulation of our Vitamin C, you won't experience the gastrointestinal discomfort typically associated with high dosages of non-liposomal formulations.
