Vitamin C IV drip

What is a vitamin C IV drip?

Vitamin C has a wide range of functions, mainly known for immune system support and maintaining normal skin health. 

It is also a powerful antioxidant that can protect your cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals, especially in times of stress or illness. 

Vitamin C also plays an important role in the production and absorption of other vital micronutrients too. It helps your body absorb iron, contributing to anaemia prevention, and is involved in regenerating the reduced form of Vitamin E – another micronutrient with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, water-soluble Vitamin C contributes to the formation of collagen, a protein plays an vital role in building and supporting many tissues: from bones and cartilage to skin, hair, eyes, gums and blood vessels.

We believe that our IV drips, including Vitamin C IV Therapy, should never replace conventional medical treatment for serious health concerns. However, we see many patients that are undergoing medical treatment that is highly taxing on nutrient levels of the body and they are keen to address any deficiencies on their road back to health.

  • Signs that you may not be getting enough Vitamin C include fatigue and weakness, dry skin and hair, irritability, slow wound healing, getting ill frequently, bruising easily, bleeding gums and anaemia.

  • 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 10g dose of Vitamin C. If the test result is normal, further treatment at larger doses can be pursued.
