G6PD Blood Test - Why It's Important
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.

What does a Vitamin C IV drip do?

Key benefits may include:
- Supporting immune system function
