About This Treatment
High-dose vitamin C IV therapy delivers concentrations that are difficult to achieve through oral supplementation due to digestive absorption limits. At doses of 10,000-25,000mg, vitamin C acts as an antioxidant and plays a role in collagen production and immune function.
This treatment is popular for immune support, skin health goals, and as part of integrative wellness approaches. Dosage can be customized based on your individual goals.
How It Works: Oral vitamin C absorption is limited by digestive factors, typically reaching saturation around 500mg before causing discomfort. IV delivery allows higher doses to reach your bloodstream directly, achieving plasma concentrations not possible through oral routes. Vitamin C plays roles in antioxidant function, collagen synthesis, and immune cell activity.
What to Expect: Individual responses vary. Some clients report improved energy and a sense of wellness within 24-48 hours. For skin health goals, gradual improvement may be noticed over multiple weekly treatments. Some integrative wellness protocols incorporate high-dose vitamin C as part of comprehensive approaches.

THE SCIENCE
How It
Works
At standard oral doses, Vitamin C absorption is limited by intestinal transport mechanisms — your body can only absorb so much through the digestive tract. IV administration bypasses this limitation entirely, achieving blood concentrations 50-100 times higher than what's possible orally.
At these higher concentrations, Vitamin C functions differently than at lower doses. It acts as a potent antioxidant, supporting cellular protection against oxidative stress. Research continues to explore the role of high-dose IV Vitamin C in various clinical applications.
This treatment is particularly popular among clients seeking intensive antioxidant support, those with high oxidative stress from lifestyle or environmental factors, and individuals looking to support their immune system during challenging periods.
