I am 99.7 pounds if that makes a difference

You should take 0.3 pounds to raise you to an even 100. I like even numbers. It's just faster and simpler to say 'I'm 100 pounds'. 8^)
No, seriously, C is a water-soluble vitamin so you can't overdose on it. Whatever your body can't use just washes out through your kidneys. The recommended daily amount is something like 100 mg, but you can get 1000 mg tablets to err on the side of too much rather than not enough.
Some people believe large 'megadoses' of vitamin C are good for a cold. Scientists say it's never been proven, but I find that when I wake up with a scratchy throat, if I take like 3000 or 4000 mg of C it really does seem to help. Not scientific evidence, only 'anecdotal'.
