About High C IV Infusions
Vitamin C has many benefits. Intravenous vitamin C is an immune system booster and has anti-viral, anti-bacterial and antihistamine properties. It supports your adrenal glands, delivers sustained energy levels, and enhances and protects your skin. It also strengthens your bones, boosts your immune system, and even helps fight the adverse effects of chemotherapy and radiation. Very high doses of vitamin C are thought to be toxic (lethal) to cancer cells. High-dose vitamin C IV infusion therapy may be used as an adjuvant therapy for many health conditions, including cancer treatment.
Vitamin C exists in the foods we eat, but only in small amounts. High-dose vitamin C IV infusion therapy enhances the benefits that the nutrient offers.
Ascorbic Acid
Ascorbic acid, also known as Vitamin C, is an antioxidant that plays an important role in the body. It not only protects the body’s cells from damage, but it is also needed to maintain the health of skin, teeth, bone, cartilage, and blood vessels. Some studies have shown that it also helps improve brain function in people with cognitive impairments such as Alzheimer’s and dementia. Most people gain the essential amount of ascorbic acid needed from their diet. Others may require supplementation. Without the proper amount of vitamin C, people are at risk for cardiovascular illness, compromised immune systems, premature aging, increased stress response, and poor energy production. Extreme vitamin C deficiency can lead to a condition called scurvy. Symptoms of scurvy include rash or brown spots on the skin, muscle weakness, pale skin, joint pain, tiredness, depression, or tooth loss.
