Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, is an antioxidant that helps keep connective tissue and wounds functioning normally. Since collagen is a component of bones’ organic matrix, vitamin C is also necessary for bone remodeling. Due to the production of cortisol, the stress hormone, excessive levels of stress quickly deplete the vitamin C stored in the cortex of the adrenal glands. Therefore, it is crucial to keep up high levels of vitamin C during extreme stress and exhaustion.
The amount of vitamin C that our systems are able to absorb from vitamin-rich foods is just about 18%. However, high doses of vitamin C can be 100% bioavailable when given intravenously. This means that the high doses of vitamin C available only through intravenous administration can have profound effects on one’s health, including but not limited to the following:
- Support for the adrenal glands
- Stable energy levels
- Skin improvement and protection
- Increased bone and tendon strength, a general immune system boost
- Reduced chemo-related side effects.
Individuals who are experiencing high levels of stress, extreme fatigue, need an immune system boost to combat acute and/or chronic viral and/or bacterial infections, have skin damage as a result of sun damage or surgery, and/or are experiencing side effects like fatigue, nausea, and/or vomiting from their treatment can all benefit greatly from receiving vitamin C in an intravenous (IV) form.
So, while pills might be easier to take, our body can only absorb a small amount at a time. So if you want to maximize your vitamin C intake and absorption, an IV therapy like a High-Dose Vitamin C IV Drip might be the way to go.
Benefits of Vitamin C IV Therapy To Human Health
Collagen Production
All animal tissues include collagen. In addition to its role as a structural protein, collagen is also important for the attachment of muscle to bone and the reinforcement of blood vessel walls.
Collagen manufacture (collagen synthesis) requires vitamin C and the amino acids proline and lysine. Collagen deficiency leads to fragile blood vessels, bones, ligaments, and tendons, as well as thin, unhealthy-looking skin. Aneurysms, strokes, and sports-related injuries like torn tendons and ligaments can all develop over time when collagen production is inadequate.
Vitamin C given intravenously in large amounts has been shown to effectively treat and prevent several diseases.
Generation of Energy
Vitamin C in IV form has a dramatic impact on generating energy. Moreover, vitamin C is critical for metabolizing fat into usable energy. This takes place when a molecule of carnitine is generated to shuttle fatty acids into the cell’s energy-generating mitochondria.
In 2011, a study was done to examine the link between vitamin C intake and metabolic rate. Two hours after receiving a massive intravenous dosage of vitamin C (10 grams), participants in the study reported feeling less tired, and their increased energy levels persisted for the next 24 hours.
Boosting the Immune System
Vitamin C in large quantities has been found to have a specific effect on bacteria, viruses, and cancer cells in recent studies. Vitamin C as a cancer treatment is controversial, but several research are underway, and some have shown encouraging results.
Vitamin C in the muscle was used to treat polio before the current polio vaccine was developed. Recent research used genetic engineering to eliminate vitamin C production in mice. High dosages of vitamin C were subsequently administered to the mice, at which point they demonstrated an ability to combat illnesses like the influenza virus by increasing their levels of anti-influenza cytokines (very effective immune system cells).
Powerful Antioxidant Defense
Vitamin C shields collagen, protein, and DNA from the harmful effects of free radicals and reactive oxygen species brought on by things like chronic disease, stress, and infections.
Recent studies have revealed that vitamin C is not only essential for surviving the flu but that its powerful antioxidant capabilities can significantly mitigate the severity of flu symptoms caused by the H1N1 virus.
Chemotherapy for Cancer
Vitamin C’s role in cancer therapy and treatment has been heavily debated. While no single large-scale trial has demonstrated the full extent to which high-dose vitamin C treatments improve cancer outcomes, a few trends have emerged from the available research.
Studies on intravenous vitamin C therapy have demonstrated:
- Vitamin C is regarded as safe, non-toxic, and shows very few negative effects, even at extremely high dosages (more than 100 grams).
- Kidney stones are not caused by high dosages of vitamin C, and oxalic acid levels are not increased by IV vitamin C therapy.
- Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant when taken in small levels but as an oxidant when taken in large quantities. High amounts of peroxide are produced in tissues as a result of vitamin C’s oxidative reaction with iron and oxygen. Peroxide is used by the immune system to kill off invading cells and cancerous ones. Vitamin C depletes ATP and causes DNA damage in cancer cells when given in large enough concentrations.
- With the knowledge and consent of the patient’s oncology team, high dosages of vitamin C can be safely coupled with chemotherapy and radiation (with the exception of methotrexate).
Assists in Iron Absorption
Vitamin C improves the absorption of iron from the diet, particularly plant-based iron, which is harder for the body to absorb. This can help prevent iron-deficiency anemia.
Reduced Side Effects Compared to Oral Supplements
High-dose oral vitamin C supplements can cause digestive issues like diarrhea and stomach cramps. However, these side effects are minimized with IV therapy as it bypasses the digestive system, allowing for higher doses without discomfort.
Injection of Vitamin C IV can help you keep your body healthy and your immune system strong. Let Renew IV Bar & Med Spa help you experience the many benefits of High-Dose Vitamin C therapy. Visit the best Med spa if you are in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and select the best IV Drip and Spa services.
