Vitamin C Infusion (7.5 g IV)

High-dose vitamin C delivered straight into the bloodstream at AMEM Zlín — 7.5 grams per infusion, a dose impossible to absorb orally, where gut uptake saturates at a fraction of a gram. IV administration achieves blood concentrations that support immune cell function, collagen synthesis and antioxidant capacity, making the infusion popular for recurring infections, convalescence, chronic fatigue and as regenerative support alongside aesthetic treatments — vitamin C is an essential cofactor for the collagen production stimulated by procedures like PRP, microneedling and skin boosters. Administered by the clinic's medical staff over roughly 30–45 minutes in a relaxed setting.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is the classic IV-therapy infusion — and the one with the clearest pharmacological rationale for intravenous dosing. Oral absorption is actively transported and saturable: beyond a few hundred milligrams, most of a tablet simply passes through. Intravenous delivery bypasses the gut entirely, producing plasma levels 10–50× higher than any oral dose can reach. **Why high-dose vitamin C:** *Immune support* — vitamin C concentrates inside white blood cells and is consumed rapidly during infection and inflammation; high-dose infusions replete these stores. Many clients book infusions during winter infection season, after illness, or when run-down. *Collagen synthesis* — vitamin C is an obligatory cofactor for the enzymes (prolyl and lysyl hydroxylase) that crosslink collagen. This makes the infusion a logical companion to the clinic's regenerative treatments — PRP, Rejuran, microneedling, thread lifts — all of which depend on robust collagen production for their results. *Antioxidant and fatigue support* — ascorbate is a primary water-phase antioxidant; infusions are popular during convalescence, periods of chronic stress and fatigue, and for smokers (who deplete vitamin C faster). **The session:** a nurse places a fine IV line, and the 7.5 g dose runs in over roughly 30–45 minutes while you sit comfortably. Drink well beforehand; most people feel nothing more than the cool sensation of the drip. There is no downtime. **Safety and contraindications:** high-dose vitamin C is contraindicated with G6PD deficiency (risk of haemolysis), significant kidney disease or a history of oxalate kidney stones, and iron-overload conditions. The medical team screens for these before the first infusion. Diabetics should note glucometer readings can be transiently distorted after infusion.
