High Dose Vitamin C
When you want the most vitamin C we offer. Immune and antioxidant support at a level pills can't reach.
Vitamin C at 25 to 75 grams in a full liter of fluids, with the dose set by our nurse practitioner or doctor after reviewing your history. Book it when you want the strongest immune and antioxidant support on the menu, or when your own doctor has suggested high dose vitamin C. Some people need a lab test before their first one.
Pills top out at a few hundred milligrams. This is measured in grams.
Swallow vitamin C and your gut absorbs less the more you take, so there's a ceiling on what a pill can do. An IV skips the gut, which is the only way to reach the blood levels studied for high dose vitamin C.
At these doses vitamin C works as an antioxidant and supports immune function at a level a supplement can't approach. Our nurse practitioner or doctor sets your dose within the 25 to 75 gram range after reviewing your history. Most people start lower.
It isn't for everyone. Some health conditions make a high dose a bad idea, and some people need a lab test first. We'll tell you plainly.
What each ingredient does for you.
Two ingredients, and the second one is why the visit is longer and the review comes first.
Lactated ringers carries sodium, potassium, calcium and chloride in close to the balance your blood already has. Here it's also the carrier that lets a large dose of vitamin C go in slowly and comfortably over a longer visit, and it keeps you hydrated the whole time.
A gram is a thousand milligrams, so 25 grams is twenty-five times the vitamin C in our Immunity Plus drip. At that level vitamin C acts as a strong antioxidant and supports immune function in ways a supplement can't reach, because your gut would never let that much through. Our nurse practitioner or doctor reviews your history and sets your dose in the 25 to 75 gram range; most people start lower and build. Some conditions make a high dose unsafe, and some people need a lab test before their first one, which is why the review isn't optional.
