A guinea pig requires at least 90 mg vitamin C a day but do not forget he should get more than enough in his food if you are feeding him a good quality food so he might not need a supplement. in this syrup's case 90 mg would be just over 5 ml, but 1ml should be more than enough considering he is probably getting a lot through the food already.
