IV Vitamin C Therapy A booster for the immune system
Vitamin C is a nutrient that is found in food, such as oranges, grapefruit, kiwi, peppers, and broccoli, and in dietary supplements. Vitamin C is an antioxidant and helps prevent damage to cells caused by free radicals. It also works with enzymes to play a key role in making collagen. Vitamin C is also called L-ascorbic acid or ascorbate.
Vitamin C infusion can reach higher levels in the blood than when the same amount is taken by mouth. Some studies of IV vitamin C use in people with cancer showed it improved quality of life and reduced cancer-related side effects.
