Our High-Dose Vitamin C IV infusion is a specialized form of intravenous therapy that delivers concentrated amounts of Vitamin C directly into your bloodstream. Unlike conventional oral supplementation, our infusions provide significantly higher doses of Vitamin C, ranging from several grams to several tens of grams.

By administering Vitamin C intravenously, we ensure that it reaches elevated concentrations in your bloodstream, surpassing what can be achieved through oral consumption alone. This method bypasses the digestive system, enabling faster and more efficient absorption of this essential nutrient.

Importantly, high-dose Vitamin C IV infusions have gained recognition for their potential benefits in supporting cancer care. Research indicates that this therapy may aid in enhancing the body's natural defenses, reducing inflammation, and promoting overall well-being during cancer treatment.

What is Vitamin C? 

Vitamin C, an essential water-soluble vitamin and a potent antioxidant, performs crucial functions in our bodies. As our bodies are unable to produce it, we must acquire it through our diet. This vitamin serves multiple pivotal roles. Firstly, it acts as a robust antioxidant, protecting cells against damage caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals. In doing so, it helps prevent oxidative stress and related health problems.

Secondly, Vitamin C plays a vital role in collagen synthesis, a protein that supports the health and repair of skin, cartilage, bones, and blood vessels. Additionally, it assists in the absorption of iron from plant-based sources and contributes to the immune system by enhancing the effectiveness of immune cells. Overall, Vitamin C plays a significant role in maintaining our well-being and supporting various cellular functions in the body.

Benefits of High-Dose Vitamin C Drip Therapy

High-dose Vitamin C intravenous therapy, also known as ascorbate therapy, is a form of intravenous treatment that delivers concentrated amounts of Vitamin C directly into the bloodstream. Here are some potential advantages of this therapy:

• Enhanced Immunity: Vitamin C, an antioxidant, can help safeguard cells from damage and improve the functioning of the immune system.
• Reduced Inflammation: High doses of Vitamin C may possess anti-inflammatory properties, which can aid in reducing inflammation within the body.
• Accelerated Wound Healing: Vitamin C plays a crucial role in collagen production, an essential component for wound healing.
• Promoted Collagen Synthesis: Vitamin C is indispensable for synthesizing collagen, a vital element in connective tissues, skin, and blood vessels. High-dose IV infusions may stimulate collagen production, potentially assisting in wound healing, tissue repair, and maintaining healthy skin.
• Potential Anti-Cancer Effects: Some studies suggest that high-dose intravenous Vitamin C might exhibit selective toxicity towards cancer cells while sparing healthy cells. However, further research is necessary to fully comprehend the potential anti-cancer effects of Vitamin C. Additionally, high-dose Vitamin C is proposed to help mitigate certain side effects of chemotherapy.
• Increased Energy: Vitamin C plays a crucial role in the production of carnitine, a molecule involved in energy metabolism. High-dose IV infusions may provide an energy boost and alleviate fatigue in specific individuals.

Who Can Benefit from High Dose Vitamin C IV Therapy at The DRIPBaR Charlottesville

High-Dose Vitamin C for Cancer Support: 

High-dose vitamin C (HDIVC) has emerged as a newer treatment for cancer that is gaining increasing attention from researchers worldwide. HDIVC is administered intravenously (IV) and has been shown to boost the immune system and help fight cancer cells.

HDIVC works by creating a toxic environment for cancer cells. When vitamin C is administered in high doses, it can damage the cancer cells' cell membranes and DNA. This can lead to cell death. HDIVC has been shown to be effective against a variety of cancer types, including breast cancer, lung cancer, and prostate cancer.
