One eight-ounce glass of orange juice contains 97 mg vitamin C, so it only takes one serving to get a day's worth of vitamin C for both men and women. The same amount of fresh-squeezed orange juice has even more vitamin C -- as much as 125 mg. Eight ounces of orange juice also has 122 calories and 47 micrograms (mcg) of folate.
