IV Vitamin C — Single Dose (7.5g)

High-dose intravenous vitamin C is the core offering at IVC Olomouc, delivered in a medically supervised setting by a Czech Medical Chamber-certified practitioner. A single 7.5g dose is infused directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the absorption ceiling of oral vitamin C to achieve plasma concentrations that may support immune defence, energy production, and collagen synthesis. The infusion takes approximately 60 minutes in a relaxed clinical environment. Higher doses — 15g (double) and 22.5g (triple) — are available for patients requiring more intensive therapeutic outcomes, including oncology support and chronic inflammation management.

Intravenous vitamin C at IVC Olomouc delivers ascorbic acid directly into the bloodstream at concentrations impossible to achieve with oral supplementation. The gut absorption ceiling for oral vitamin C is roughly 200–500 mg per dose; at 7.5g via IV, plasma levels climb 50–70 times higher, entering a pharmacological range associated with pro-oxidant effects, collagen cross-linking, and immune cell activation. The clinic offers three dose levels: 7.5g (single), 15g (double), and 22.5g (triple), selected based on the patient's health objectives and practitioner assessment. A standard 7.5g infusion takes approximately 45–60 minutes, with higher doses running slightly longer due to the need for slower delivery rates to avoid vein irritation and osmotic discomfort. The procedure begins with a brief consultation, then a peripheral IV line is inserted — typically in the forearm — and the ascorbic acid solution is administered via gravity drip or an infusion pump. Patients sit comfortably in a treatment chair throughout. High plasma vitamin C may support tissue repair following surgery or injury, help modulate chronic low-grade inflammation, and contribute to mitochondrial energy production through its role as a cofactor in carnitine synthesis. In oncology contexts (15g and 22.5g doses), a growing body of research suggests high-dose IV vitamin C may improve quality of life and reduce fatigue when used alongside conventional treatment — the clinic offers discounts on every tenth infusion for oncology patients. After the infusion, most patients can return to normal activities immediately. Mild flushing or warmth during infusion is possible; the practitioner adjusts the drip rate accordingly. Patients with G6PD deficiency or advanced renal impairment are screened before treatment, as high-dose vitamin C is contraindicated in these groups. For ongoing benefit, a course of four or six sessions is recommended.
