In fact we belong to a very tiny group of mammals (including
fruit bats and guinea pigs) that don't make their own Vitamin C. Because Vitamin C performs so many functions and we use so much of it in the course of a day almost everyone can benefit from supplementing with extra Vitamin C. Up to 1,000 to 2000 mgs a day is fine; it's water soluble and what you don't use will just be excreted.

Interestingly, humans, monkeys, guinea pigs, Mediterranean
fruit bats and the Red Vented Bulbul (a bird) are the only animals that
do not make Vitamin C in our / their bodies.
