Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a nutrient found in food and dietary supplements, but only about 18% of the Vitamin C we consume by mouth is absorbed by our bodies. When given by IV infusion, Vitamin C can reach higher levels in the blood than when the same amount is taken by mouth. This means you can help support your immune system by allowing your body to utilize 100% of the Vitamin C administered.

High-dose Vitamin C is especially useful any time you are under greater than usual amounts of stress, feeling excessive fatigue, when your immune system needs boosting to fight acute or chronic viral and bacterial. Cancer.gov reports that some studies of High Dose Vitamin C infusion in patients with cancer have shown improved quality of life, as well as fewer side effects of their cancer treatment.

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that acts as a natural anti-inflammatory with vital roles in cellular detox, treatment of infectious disease, and supporting the quality of life of patients undergoing treatment for cancer. Vitamin C powers the immune system for optimum function. Thought to be cytotoxic to cancer cells, Vitamin C infusions can be part of your total cancer care. Vitamin C enhances wound healing after surgery and biopsies. In IV doses, vitamin C has anti-stress and antidepressant properties. Animal studies have shown that high-dose vitamin C blocks tumor growth in certain models of cancer.
