Vitamin C is a water-soluble, essential vitamin and is otherwise known as L-ascorbic acid or ascorbate. Your body cannot produce vitamin C on its own, and because of this, your body requires you to get enough vitamin C through your food or through supplementation. However, various factors can prevent you from getting enough vitamin C: poor intake of fruits and vegetables, gastrointestinal issues, recent illness or stress, or other risk factors like smoking which can decrease your body’s ability to absorb vitamin C.
High-dose vitamin C IV therapy can provide powerful health benefits and correct vitamin C deficiencies by delivering vitamin C directly to your cells. Here are just a few of the many health benefits:
If you know you’re going to be encountering a lot of stress, or exposed to others with the cold and flu, then it’s wise to ensure you’re on top of your vitamin C intake. Supplementing your system with vitamin C can reduce the length of the cold and flu, as well as lessen the severity of any symptoms. Vitamin C's ability to modulate an immune system response to viral illnesses brought more attention in light of recent spread of COVID-19. Trials are currently underway to test high doses of vitamin C infusion for individuals affected by COVID-19.
Loading up on vitamin C is a popular choice during cold and flu season, but researchers are continuing to study its many other benefits, particularly in the area of oxidative stress.
Vitamin C has antioxidant properties and researchers have found vitamin C in high-doses can prevent blood glutathione oxidation, which is an indicator of oxidative stress. High-doses of vitamin C taken before exercise can also decrease muscle soreness and creatine kinase, which is associated with muscle damage.
Vitamin C plays a role in every phase of wound healing and tissue repair. A lack of vitamin C can slow down the healing process. In the initial, inflammatory phase of wound healing, vitamin C is necessary for neutrophil apoptosis.
Recovering from a wound can deplete the body’s vitamin C stores, making it wise to support the body with vitamin C supplementation.
Failing to get enough vitamin C can result in deficiencies that may result in poor wound healing, easy bruising, bleeding of the gums, and anemia. Since vitamin C aids in iron absorption, a severe deficiency may cause scurvy, a disease that is categorized by extreme weakness, bruising, bleeding, and lethargy.
High-dose vitamin C is a popular choice among cancer patients who are seeking a supportive treatment to mitigate the unpleasant side effects of chemotherapy. According to a recent study, high-doses of IV vitamin C may reduce the inflammation that many cancer patients experience.
At RevIVeDoc, our Mega C IV infusion can help correct vitamin c deficiencies and serve as adjunctive therapy for those experiencing side effects from their cancer treatments.
Taken intravenously, vitamin C IV infusions can result in much higher blood serum levels than simply taking supplements by mouth. Our Mega C IV infusion is designed to deliver an ample supply of vitamin C, and its powerful antioxidant benefits, directly to your cells. From helping neutralize free radicals to repairing damaged tissues, Mega C IV infusion can help.
Unlike vitamins that are taken in orally, IV vitamin therapy doesn’t require the digestive system to breakdown and absorb the nutrients. The nutrients are delivered directly to your bloodstream, promoting maximum absorption and maximum benefit.
Vitamins in pill, capsule, or gummy form are also considered to be dietary supplements by the FDA and aren’t closely regulated. Because of this, it can be difficult to determine their quality and effectiveness. At ReIVeDoc, we understand the importance of quality and only source our vitamins from FDA approved pharmacies.
