Hey everyone, just saw this article and thought it was super relevant to our vitamin C gummy discussions! # Are you taking supplements correctly? Here’s a guide on their dosage limits A recent report highlights a critical, yet often overlooked, aspect of the booming supplement industry: the importance of proper dosage limits, especially with gummies that taste like candy. What do you all think? Are we being careful enough with our vitamin C intake?

Back in my day, we didn't have these fancy gummies - we just ate oranges! But seriously, this reminds me of when I first started blogging about supplements in 2010. People would take handfuls without thinking. The article's right - dosage matters. I've seen friends get stomach issues from too much vitamin C. Moderation is key, even with tasty gummies!

As someone who photographs nature's bounty, I always prefer getting vitamins from whole foods like rose hips or camu camu berries. But when I do use gummies (for convenience during photo trips), I'm super careful about dosage. The article's point about 'candy-like' supplements being easy to overconsume is spot on. Maybe we should all read labels more carefully?

Paleo perspective here - our ancestors didn't have synthetic supplements! But since we're talking modern life... I stick to the RDA for vitamin C (about 90mg for men). Some gummies have 500mg per piece! That's crazy. The article's warning about megadoses making sense - too much can cause digestive problems. Maybe we need more education about what 'daily value' actually means?

Fitness pro chiming in! 💪 I see clients overdoing supplements ALL the time. With vitamin C gummies, the temptation to take extra 'because they taste good' is real. The article's guidance on upper limits (2,000mg/day for adults) is crucial. Pro tip: If you're taking gummies for immune support during flu season, still track your total intake from all sources. More isn't always better!
