High-Dose Vitamin C IV

An intravenous infusion of 750 mg ascorbic acid, delivering vitamin C directly into the bloodstream at concentrations that may exceed what is achievable through oral supplementation. Vitamin C is involved in immune function, collagen synthesis, and antioxidant defence. Administered over 30 to 60 minutes with a physician assessment included.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is an essential water-soluble nutrient that the human body cannot synthesise. It serves as a cofactor in numerous enzymatic reactions including collagen synthesis, carnitine production, and neurotransmitter formation. As an antioxidant, it helps protect cells from oxidative damage and supports the regeneration of other antioxidants such as vitamin E. Oral vitamin C absorption is limited by saturable intestinal transporters, meaning that increasing the oral dose beyond a certain point does not proportionally increase blood levels. Intravenous administration bypasses this bottleneck, allowing plasma concentrations to reach levels that are not achievable through dietary intake or oral supplements alone. The 750 mg dose offered at MediBalans represents a moderate IV vitamin C protocol. This infusion is commonly requested by individuals seeking immune support, those recovering from illness or physical stress, or patients who want to complement their existing wellness regimen with a targeted nutrient boost. The treatment includes a physician assessment to evaluate suitability, and takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes in the clinic. Higher-dose protocols may be available following clinical discussion.
