High-dose Vitamin C drip therapy, also known as ascorbate therapy, is a type of intravenous therapy that delivers high concentrations of Vitamin C directly into the bloodstream. Here are some potential benefits of this therapy:

• Enhanced Immunity: Vitamin C, being an antioxidant, can safeguard cells from damage and bolster the immune system's function.
• Reduction of Inflammation: High-dose Vitamin C might possess anti-inflammatory properties, contributing to the alleviation of inflammation within the body.
• Accelerated Wound Healing: Vitamin C plays a critical role in collagen production, which is essential for efficient wound healing.
• Promotion of Collagen Production: As a vital element in connective tissues, skin, and blood vessels, Vitamin C is crucial for collagen synthesis. High-dose IV infusions can stimulate collagen production, potentially aiding in wound healing, tissue repair, and maintaining healthy skin.
• Potential Anticancer Effects: Some research indicates that intravenous administration of high-dose Vitamin C may exhibit selective toxicity towards cancer cells while sparing healthy cells. However, further studies are needed to comprehensively understand the potential anticancer effects of Vitamin C. Additionally, high-dose Vitamin C is suggested to help mitigate certain side effects of chemotherapy.
• Boost in Energy: Vitamin C plays a vital 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 certain individuals.

Who May Benefit from High-Dose Vitamin C IV Therapy at The DRIPBaR Jacksonville

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.

High-Dose Vitamin C for Immunity, Fatigue, & Chronic Illness Support: 

High-Dose Vitamin C infusions have demonstrated their potential in alleviating or reducing symptoms associated with cancer and chemotherapy treatment, such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, insomnia, fatigue, and pain. Moreover, for patients in remission, regular HDIVC treatments may serve as an effective strategy to maintain remission by targeting recurring cancer cells.

While high-dose Vitamin C IV infusions are not a panacea, they have shown promise in supporting the management of various other conditions, including:

• Cold and Flu: High-dose Vitamin C IV infusions may aid in shortening the duration and severity of cold and flu symptoms.
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Some individuals with chronic fatigue syndrome have reported experiencing improved energy levels and reduced fatigue after receiving high-dose Vitamin C IV infusions.
• Post-Surgical Healing: Vitamin C is essential for wound healing and tissue repair. High-dose IV infusions can assist in the recovery process following surgery.

Immune Support in Chronic Illness: Individuals with chronic illnesses may find support for their immune system and overall health through high-dose Vitamin C IV infusions.
