Vitamin C is water soluble vitamin. It can not be stored in your body. But I have read in world famous medical text book that the elderly people should be given one or two grams of vitamin C on your monthly visit. That should do. It takes years to get the deficiency of the vitamin B 12, which is water soluble vitamin.
