Role of High Dose Vitamin C in Your Health
Vitamin C and Oral Health
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that boosts the immune system and can reduce inflammation. Vitamin C infusions can be used to fight free radicals and improve liver function. The antioxidant potential of vitamin C helps reduce oxidative stress and free radicals, which may result in improved outcomes in periodontal interventions (dental surgeries). It can lower the risk of periodontal disease and even facilitate the healing of the periodontium.
Vitamin C's Role in Oral and Bone Health
The oxidative properties of vitamin C have also been found to be instrumental when removing mercury fillings. It is pivotal in oral and bone health through its essential role in synthesizing collagen to create new tissues and support healthy tissue maintenance.

Vitamin B complex supports brain, blood, bones, and eye health and regulates mood and energy levels. Meanwhile, vitamin C helps to boost immunity, support iron absorption, and reduce risk factors associated with heart disease. Magnesium regulates blood pressure, supports the immune system, and helps nerve and muscle function.
Adding an IV push of glutathione after you finish your infusion is an excellent addition to this drip. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that helps remove free radicals and supports cellular health.
Vitamin C IV Infusions in Cancer Therapy
Vitamin C IV infusions are being used as an adjunctive cancer therapy that can help lower the severity of many chemo and radiation side effects and possibly slow down the progression of malignant tumors.
The Impact of IV Vitamin C in Cancer Treatment
Research has shown that increased levels of vitamin C can significantly improve the lives of cancer patients. However, diet and supplements alone cannot provide enough Vitamin C for your body to reap these benefits. The amount of Vitamin C needed to make a substantial impact can only be reached intravenously (IV). Large doses of IV vitamin C have been shown to decrease the amount and size of tumors in animals. In some clinical trials, vitamin C infusions helped patients with symptom management, decreased tumor mass, enhanced resistance, and prolonged survival in terminal patients.

Vitamin C and Post Viral Illness and Fatigue
Vitamin C has been proven to be an effective antioxidant in the treatment of viral infections and post-recovery fatigue. This is due to Vitamin C's antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties. White blood cells can accumulate concentrations of Vitamin C up to 100tx greater than plasma, supporting the body's innate immune response. Researchers have been able to demonstrate the critical role vitamin C plays in tissue repair, wound healing, and overall healing in the body.
G6PD Blood Testing
Prior to receiving high-dose Vitamin C infusions (25 grams or more), Minnesota IV Hydration and Wellness requires a Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) blood test. This blood test will identify if you have a G6PD deficiency, which is a hereditary, x-linked recessive genetic enzyme deficiency. It is an important enzyme in reducing free radicals in the cells that cause oxidative damage. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) can become an oxidant and cause hemolysis or anemia (an insufficient capacity of the blood to bring oxygen to the tissues and carry away carbon dioxide) if taken in large doses. Your nurses at Minnesota IV Hydration and Wellness will work with you to complete your blood test.
