Vitamin C IV Therapy

Vitamin C is an essential vitamin that keeps your cells healthy. It supports your skin, blood vessels, bones, and cartilage while helping heal wounds. Since the body doesn’t store Vitamin C, it has to receive it regularly from outside sources. People who don’t get enough from their diet can develop a Vitamin C deficiency.

 A vitamin C deficiency is a serious problem. What starts with dry hair and fatigue can become a condition called scurvy, accompanied by bleeding, swollen gums, and loose teeth. One of the ways to prevent it is to administer a Vitamin C IV.

 At Hydralive Therapy®, we offer a convenient way to replenish your Vitamin C stores in a comfortable setting. Before you schedule an appointment at our Alabama or Georgia clinics, let’s closely examine how Vitamin C IV therapy works.

 

What is Vitamin C IV Therapy?

Vitamin C IV therapy involves the administration of high doses of vitamin C directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous infusion.

Even if you don’t have severe Vitamin C deficiency, you can still benefit from this therapy because it can boost your immune function, contribute to collagen production, and improve your overall health.

If you are in one of the groups susceptible to Vitamin C deficiency, you can take full advantage of this therapy to prevent scurvy. These groups include:

 

• Pregnant and breastfeeding people
• People with disorders that cause high fever and inflammation
• Overactive thyroid gland
• People who recently underwent surgery
• Burn victims

Smokers can also highly benefit from Vitamin C IV therapy because smoking reduces the amount of this vitamin in the body.

Can an IV Be More Beneficial than Supplements?

Vitamin C IV therapy allows higher concentrations of vitamin C to enter your bloodstream. Oral supplements go through your digestive system, breaking down and losing some of their potency. The intravenous route ensures that more vitamin C reaches the cells and tissues in need. This leads to more immediate effects.

If you have compromised gut health or malabsorption issues, an IV is a much more effective way to receive a quick boost of Vitamin C. Meanwhile, this approach minimizes the risk of gastrointestinal effects when taking high doses of this vitamin orally.

Intravenous administration is also preferable for ensuring that the right vitamin C dosage reaches your blood. The clinical team can tailor the dosage according to your specific needs and perform a controlled infusion, which isn’t possible with oral supplements.

 

What Does a Vitamin C IV Appointment Look Like?

The Vitamin C IV appointment begins with a consultation. The medical staff reviews your medical history and determines how much Vitamin C can benefit your needs. If you need a high dose of the vitamin, you may need to do a blood test first to determine whether your body can absorb this dosage properly.

Once the medical team clears you, you can start the IV.  The procedure takes between one and two hours, depending on the dose. After the IV, you can resume your normal activities immediately.

You don’t need to prepare for an IV appointment. You can eat, drink, and take your medication as usual.
