Question about coffee

Vitamin C supplement?
I take a multivitamin everyday, but it only has 60mg of vitamin C in it. I was wondering what is recommended for an adult woman as far as daily vitamin C and if maybe I should be taking more than the 60mg I get in my multivitamin? I have heard that it helps to fight off catching colds, etc so I was thinking maybe for the…
