What is Vitamin C ?

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a  major water-soluble vitamin that is well-known to us as a powerful antioxidant. Humans cannot produce vitamin C  and require supplementation. Chronic diseases, autoimmune issues, and infection require an increased need for vitamin C. 

It enhances the immune system by improving white blood cells ability to fight infections – when the body is under great stress (emotional or physical), vitamin C is excessively excreted by the cells, so a greater intake of vitamin C is needed to maintain proper immune function.

Most organizations accept anywhere from 100mg to 1,000mg of vitamin C per day as a daily requirement via oral supplementation which doesn’t retain full potency after passing through the digestive system. Because our environment affects how much vitamin C is needed by a cell,  IV can provide the best method of absorbency. For example, when a body is in an inflammatory state, it may need as much as 10x over normal daily levels. It is considered extremely safe and very effective when given IV!
