Vitamin C Infusion (Standard)

The Standard Vitamin C Infusion at Neo Sport Clinic delivers intravenous ascorbic acid directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the absorption ceiling that limits oral supplementation. At the clinic's Olomouc location, this protocol is formulated by the physician team and administered under medical supervision as part of the clinic's 15-protocol infusion therapy programme. Intravenous vitamin C at therapeutic concentrations may support immune function, collagen synthesis, and antioxidant protection against oxidative stress — mechanisms particularly relevant for athletes in heavy training periods, individuals recovering from illness, or those with high seasonal infection burden. The infusion takes approximately 45 minutes in a supervised clinical setting.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is an essential water-soluble micronutrient that the human body cannot synthesise, meaning dietary and supplemental intake must meet the body's demands entirely. Oral vitamin C absorption is limited by intestinal transport capacity — at doses above approximately 1 000 mg, absorption efficiency drops sharply and most of the dose is excreted. Intravenous administration bypasses this ceiling entirely, allowing plasma concentrations to reach levels orders of magnitude higher than oral supplementation can achieve. At Neo Sport Clinic in Olomouc, the Standard Vitamin C Infusion is the entry-level option in a graduated IV protocol ladder formulated by the clinic's physicians. The solution is prepared and administered by the medical team in a dedicated infusion suite, with clinical supervision throughout the approximately 45-minute session. High-dose intravenous vitamin C has several documented mechanisms relevant to the patient groups who visit Neo Sport Clinic. As a cofactor in collagen synthesis, adequate plasma ascorbate is essential for connective tissue repair — tendons, ligaments, and cartilage all rely on collagen production, making this infusion a logical adjunct to physiotherapy or post-surgical rehabilitation. As a potent antioxidant, vitamin C neutralises reactive oxygen species (free radicals) generated during high-intensity exercise, illness, surgery, or chronic inflammation. In immune terms, vitamin C supports the chemotaxis and phagocytic activity of neutrophils and may reduce the duration of upper respiratory infections — an important consideration for athletes during competition blocks or immediately after illness. The clinic's Standard protocol uses a moderate ascorbic acid dose appropriate for general immune and antioxidant support; the Mega Vitamin C protocol (1 150 Kč) provides a higher concentration for patients requiring more aggressive repletion or those with documented deficiency. The Stop Infection protocol (1 600 Kč) adds complementary micronutrients for use at the first signs of acute illness. Preparation requires no fasting. The cannula is placed in an antecubital vein and the infusion runs slowly over 30–45 minutes — patients can read or use their phone during the session. Light stinging at the cannula site is normal. The medical team monitors the patient throughout. Contraindications include known glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, which is screened at intake, and certain renal conditions. Patients on chemotherapy or with active kidney stones should discuss with their physician before booking.
