The recommendation for Vitamin C after wls is 500mg. I take the chewable vitamin C and take it with my iron. Vitamin C will help with the absorption of iron.
I actually get more than 500mg. The iron I take has 60mg right along with it to help with absorption and my multi-vitamin has 180 mg.
Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin so you can't get too much of it.
Here is a link to a thread that discusses the kinds of vitamins, forms and dosages that are recommended post wls.
Vitamins-How much? What kind?
