IV Vitamin
HIGH DOSE VITAMIN C
$300
High-dose Intravenous Vitamin C (IVC) involves the intravenous administration of vitamin C at doses higher than what is typically consumed through oral supplementation. This therapy is intended to provide various health benefits, including enhanced antioxidant protection, immune system support, and potential adjunctive benefits in cancer treatments. High dose intravenous Vitamin C (IVC) therapy boosts skin health by promoting collagen production, which helps improve skin elasticity and reduce signs of aging. An initial dosage of 8 grams is commonly administered, and if blood work confirms the absence of G6PD deficiency, the dosage can be safely increased 5-10 grams per week up to 100 grams. This incremental approach ensures safety and efficacy while monitoring for any potential adverse reactions.
