What Is Vitamin C IV Therapy and How Does It Work?
Vitamin C IV therapy delivers pharmaceutical-grade vitamin C intravenously through an IV drip. This allows for precisely controlled administration and complete absorption of vitamin C at much higher doses than possible through oral supplementation.
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin. Oral doses over 2,000mg per day often cause GI distress and diarrhea as excess vitamin C is excreted. Intravenous administration bypasses these absorption limits, with vitamin C fully absorbed directly into the bloodstream.
Our practitioners administer your IV infusion over 45-60 minutes in a relaxing clinical environment. You can read, work, or simply relax during your appointment. Increased energy, improved immune function, and other benefits may be experienced immediately.
Why Is Vitamin C So Crucial for Health and Wellness?
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an essential micronutrient that plays numerous critical roles in supporting optimal health and wellbeing.
- As a potent antioxidant, vitamin C helps neutralize free radicals and prevent oxidative stress, which can damage cells and contribute to chronic disease development.
- It stimulates collagen production, maintaining youthful, wrinkle-free skin and strong connective tissues throughout the body.
- Vitamin C bolsters immune function in several ways – it supports the production and function of various immune cells, enhances phagocytosis, and acts as a cofactor for biochemical reactions that regulate immune responses. This helps boost resistance to infections and illnesses.
- Through its role in collagen production, vitamin C also facilitates rapid wound healing and tissue repair.
- Vitamin C aids iron absorption by converting ferric iron to its active ferrous form. This helps prevent iron deficiency anemia.
- It also acts as an essential cofactor for enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of hormones, neurotransmitters, and collagen.
These diverse biochemical roles underscore vitamin C’s systemic importance.
IV Vitamin C Therapy vs Oral Supplements
Intravenous (IV) vitamin C therapy provides unique benefits compared to standard oral vitamin C supplements. The table below outlines the key differences between these two methods of vitamin C supplementation:
| Feature | IV Vitamin C | Oral Vitamin C |
| Absorption | 100% of administered dose absorbed | 15-30% of dose absorbed in GI tract |
| Dosage | Can administer up to 70x higher doses (e.g. 50-100g) | Lower doses (e.g. 1-2g) due to GI side effects |
| Onset | Rapid uptake for immediate benefits | Gradual absorption over 4-6 hours |
| Plasma/Cellular Levels | Up to 70x higher peak plasma and cellular levels | Lower plasma and cellular levels |
| Bioavailability | Improved systemic bioavailability and tissue utilization | Reduced bioavailability due to incomplete GI absorption |
| Impact on Chronic Conditions | Greater clinical impact on chronic conditions | More modest effects on chronic conditions |

High-Dose Vitamin C Support Immune System
There is compelling evidence that IV vitamin C at doses above 10,000mg substantially supports immune cell function and infection fighting ability.
Vitamin C is actively accumulated in leukocytes, enhancing the ability of immune cells like lymphocytes and phagocytes to respond to pathogens. At high levels, vitamin C also exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity to further bolster immune defenses.
Clinical studies indicate IV vitamin C shortens the duration and alleviates symptoms for upper respiratory infections and other viral illnesses. Our infusions provide a powerful tool to strengthen immunity.
Vitamin C Promote Collagen Synthesis and Healthy Skin
Collagen provides structural support in the dermis layer of skin and is the most abundant protein in the human body. Fibroblasts are specialized cells that produce and maintain collagen. Vitamin C acts as a necessary cofactor for the enzymes that catalyze collagen synthesis by fibroblasts.
Without adequate vitamin C, fibroblasts cannot properly synthesize collagen. This leads to weakened, wrinkled skin that is prone to damage. Vitamin C deficiency causes scurvy, which presents with corkscrew hairs, gum disease, joint pain, and hemorrhagic skin lesions due to severely diminished collagen.
Our IV vitamin C therapy provides high dose antioxidant support for skin health and collagen production through the following mechanisms:
- Stimulating fibroblasts to synthesize collagen fibrils for firm, smooth, plump skin
- Reducing photodamage and hyperpigmentation caused by UV exposure
- Accelerating wound repair and minimizing the appearance of scars
- Combating dryness, inflammation, and free radical injury
- Improving elasticity and hydration for vibrant, youthful skin
Can IV Vitamin C Help Prevent or Treat Illnesses?
Intravenous (IV) vitamin C therapy has gained interest in recent years as a potential treatment for a variety of health conditions.
Research indicates high-dose IV vitamin C may provide benefits for:
- Preventing and shortening the duration of respiratory infections like colds and flu. Studies show IV vitamin C shortens flu symptoms by about 8% in adults and 25% in children.
- Improving lung function in conditions like pneumonia, asthma, and COPD exacerbations. Vitamin C reduces inflammation and fluid in the lungs.
- Enhancing cancer treatment by controlling oxidative stress and inflammation. Some research shows IV vitamin C can improve quality of life and survival rates for cancer patients.
- Accelerating healing of burns, wounds, and injuries. Vitamin C promotes collagen synthesis, prevents infections, and acts as an antioxidant.
- Supporting recovery after surgery. IV vitamin C reduces pain, fatigue and duration of hospital stays post-surgery. It prevents infections and supports tissue healing.
- Managing chronic conditions like diabetes, gout, autoimmune disorders, and more. Vitamin C supplementation helps control inflammation and oxidative stress involved in these diseases.
- Counteracting viral infections like mononucleosis, hepatitis, and shingles. The antioxidant properties of vitamin C help fight viruses and prevent complications.
- Reducing fatigue, muscle soreness, and pain. Vitamin C supports immune function while acting as an antioxidant to accelerate recovery.
