Why Choose a Vitamin C IV Drip?

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient and a powerful antioxidant that supports a wide range of bodily functions. Our high-dose IV therapy delivers therapeutic levels directly into the bloodstream, allowing for greater absorption than oral supplements. This makes it a popular option for those looking to support immunity, recovery, and overall wellbeing.

Key benefits may include:

  • Supporting immune system function
  • Protecting cells from oxidative damage
  • Supporting collagen production
  • Enhancing iron absorption
  • Supporting cellular health and recovery

Because IV therapy bypasses the digestive system, it allows for the efficient delivery of higher therapeutic doses of vitamin C.

Frequently Asked Questions

Some Frequently Asked Questions About Vitamin C IV Drip Therapy

Whats the G6PD blood best and why is it needed?

If you have a deficiency in the G6PD enzyme, it can be unsafe to administer doses of Vitamin C above 10g. The prevalence of G6PD deficiency varies depending on your race, with people of African and Mediterranean descent experiencing a prevalence of 1 in 100.

To ensure safety, it is crucial to obtain a G6PD blood test result before administering any dose larger than 10g of Vitamin C. This blood test only needs to be done once in your lifetime.

If you don’t have a G6PD blood test in your medical records, we can conduct the test for you. At the same time, if desired, we can administer a 7.5g dose of Vitamin C. If the test result is normal, further treatment at larger doses can be pursued.

How often should I have Vitamin C IV treatments?

For general wellness, monthly treatments are common. For immune support during illness or specific health goals, more frequent treatments may be recommended. Our doctors will create a personalised treatment schedule based on your individual needs and response to therapy.

How long do the effects of Vitamin C IV therapy last?

Most people feel the positive effects for 3-7 days, with vitamin C levels remaining elevated in the blood for more than 4 hours and potentially up to several weeks. The duration varies based on your metabolism, health status, and how your body utilises the vitamin C.

Are there any side effects from Vitamin C IV therapy?

Vitamin C IV therapy is generally very well tolerated with few side effects. The most common is mild fluid retention from the infusion volume. Rare side effects may include temporary fatigue or kidney stones in individuals with a previous history. All treatments are monitored by qualified medical professionals.

Can I have Vitamin C IV therapy if I'm taking other medications?

Most medications are compatible with Vitamin C IV therapy, but some interactions can occur. During your consultation, our doctors will review all your current medications and health conditions to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.

Can other vitamins and minerals be added to a Vitamin C IV Drip?

Yes, our doctors can customise your IV drip by adding complementary nutrients such as B vitamins, magnesium, zinc, or glutathione based on your individual health goals. During your consultation, we’ll discuss which combinations might be most beneficial for your specific needs.
