Some  (most? all?) fruit juices, and tonight I see even tomato juice, adds 
ascorbic  acid to the point of bringing the total up to 130%?  I can see 
100%, if  even that is considered necessary.  But what's so special about  130%?
 
Linus Pauling was responsible for popularizing the concept that  vitamin
C (ascorbic acid) was the cure all/prevent all for colds and other  
infections.
Dosages suggested then were extremely high.
 
It's been shown to be a false concept.
 
The human body will accept about 75mg per day, and the rest goes in  the
urine, making for a very acid urine.  
 
More than the required dosage is largely a waste.
