IV High-dose vitamin C therapy is a treatment method administered intravenously (IV) at much higher than normal doses of vitamin C to help strengthen the body’s immune system.
Normally, the recommended daily intake of vitamin C is between 75-90 milligrams for adults. However, high-dose vitamin C therapy is given IV in doses far above this amount, sometimes thousands of milligrams.
Proponents of high-dose vitamin C therapy claim that it may be beneficial in the treatment of cancer, infections, autoimmune diseases, and other diseases. Some studies suggest that high-dose vitamin C therapy may increase immune system function and reduce symptoms of diseases.
Who can receive IV high-dose vitamin c?
High-dose vitamin C therapy is often used in the treatment of diseases such as cancer, infections, and autoimmune diseases. However, there are some contraindications to the use of high-dose vitamin C therapy, and who this treatment can be applied to should be carefully evaluated by the specialist doctor.
Also, high-dose vitamin C therapy has side effects and should therefore be closely monitored during the use of this therapy. In some cases, high-dose vitamin C therapy can harm a person’s health or reduce the effectiveness of other treatments.
Candidates for high-dose vitamin C therapy should be evaluated by a specialist physician. Before this therapy is used to treat cancer, infections or other diseases, it should be determined by taking into account the person’s health status, medical history, medication use, and other factors.
