I take 5 grams (5x1 grams sustained release caplets) 2x daily. Sometimes I forget the second (or first) dose. It seems to help.
I have allergies, dry skin, lots of oxidative stress from being crazed (and on a neuroleptic) and from my smoking (which I'm quitting for New Year's). I take a lot of other antioxidants, too. My goal is to reduce side-effects from medication and also improve my overall health. So far, so good--my skin looks better and tolerates topical medication better, my allergies are less intense, I don't freak out as much, and I don't have dysphoria or muscle stiffness from the Abilify, even when I hit 30mgs daily.
I don't know about the 2 gram business. I guess it depends on who you ask. I'm into Orthomolecular medicine (especially orthomolecular psychiatry), and they high dose just about every vitamin, especially C. 10 grams *seems* like a lot, and I guess it is compared to the general population, but in the wild world of Orthomolecular medicine, they regularly use more than that.
