Vitamin C, when taken orally, is normally processed in the small intestine, where the majority of other nutrients are also absorbed. When Vitamin C is taken orally in higher amounts, these dosages can often result in uncomfortable gastrointestinal upset, gas, bloating and diarrhoea.
This is where high-dose intravenous or IV (IV = directly into the vein) Vitamin C come into play. Vitamin C when infused directly into the body through an ‘IV infusion’ or ‘IV Vitamin Drip’, bypasses the gastrointestinal tract and digestive system completely. When comparing the absorption of oral and IV Vitamin C, IV Vitamin C is far superior. This is not only because more Vitamin C can be administered at any one given time, but also because IV Drips help you maximise your Vitamin C absorption levels.

Vitamin C is linked to many impressive health benefits. Some of these benefits include boosting antioxidant levels, lowering blood pressure, improving iron absorption, boosting immunity, and reducing heart disease and dementia risk.
Here are 7 scientifically proven benefits that vitamin C has in our bodies:
Vitamin C is a strong antioxidant that can boost your blood antioxidant levels. This may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases by strengthening your body’s natural defense.
Vitamin C has been found to lower blood pressure in both healthy adults and those with high blood pressure.
Vitamin C may reduce the risk of heart disease as a result of high blood pressure, high triglyceride or poor cholesterol.
Vitamin-C-rich foods and supplements have been linked to reduced blood uric acid levels.
Vitamin C can improve the absorption of iron that is poorly absorbed, such as iron from meat-free sources. It may also reduce the risk of iron deficiency.
Low vitamin C levels have been linked to an increased risk of memory and thinking disorders like dementia, while a high intake of vitamin C from foods and supplements has been shown to have a protective effect.
Vitamin C is critical in ensuring white blood cells are functioning more effectively to ultimately boost your immune system.
Vitamin C, also called Ascorbic Acid, is one of the most important antioxidants and immune system boosters in our bodies. However, our bodies are not able to naturally produce this vitamin on their own due to a gene mutation. For this reason we see ourselves forced to obtain all our Vitamin C from our diet on a daily basis.
Vitamin C covers hundreds of very important functions in the body including collagen synthesis and repair, assisting in neurotransmitter production, as a free-radical scavenger, helping to absorb iron and, most pertinent to this article, in aiding the body’s immune response.
The medical research supporting the use of IV Vitamin C Therapy is impressive. Studies show that Vitamin C is one of the best antiviral agents available and it also has the ability to deactivate and eliminate a wide range of toxins. Vitamin C therapy can also aid in enhancing patient resistance by greatly increasing the immune system’s ability to neutralise bacterial and fungal infections. Many medical publications also verify that Vitamin C could play and important role in fighting back cancer.
High dose IVC has been used for many decades and has many clinical applications. Some of its best known usages include: treating or preventing the common cold or flu, aiding in tissue repair in poor/slow healing or after acute or chronic injuries, improving adrenal fatigue and helping the immune system fight chronic infections, like Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and hepatitis.
It is important to remember that any health condition should be treated under medical supervision by the primary care doctor. Your health is unique to you and your primary care doctor will need to assess your health before making recommendations about the best treatment options.
Now, thankfully, Vitamin C is gaining popularity amongst many integrative practitioners as an adjunctive treatment for many different forms of cancer. There have been many positive research studies conducted and many more major studies underway funded by larger institutions looking into the efficacy of high dose IV Vitamin C in eradicating cancer, improving quality of life and extending life in sufferers of cancer.
High dose IV Vitamin C has also been shown to greatly mitigate many of the unwanted side effects of chemotherapy and radiation and actually make many chemotherapeutic agents more effective with less agent needed to exact the same effects on cancer.
IV High Dose Vitamin C Therapy will help boost your body’s immune system and natural recovery process and can be used to treat:
High Dose Vitamin C Therapy also:
When you consume a vitamin orally, whether it be over the counter or prescription, not everything is absorbed. What is absorbed by the stomach is taken directly to the liver where it may be metabolised. This results in only a fraction of what you consumed orally remaining into the bloodstream to be utilised as fuel and nourishes your body.
On the other hand, through IV Drips, 100% of the vitamins are delivered into your bloodstream bypassing the metabolism process. This results in the ability to get more vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids to support your body to function at its best.
