Vitamin C has long been known to support healthy immune function. But it also aids in iron absorption, supports energy metabolism, stimulates collagen production, and helps protect cells against oxidative stress.
Over the past few years, 12 studies with 1,578 inpatients having COVID-19 have been conducted using supraphysiological doses (higher than normal) of vitamin C. Results included improved oxygenation, decreased inflammatory markers, and faster recovery time.
In addition, early treatment with IV high-dose vitamin C seems to reduce the risks of severe courses of the disease such as pneumonia and mortality.
High-dose vitamin C delivered intravenously (IV) has also been widely used to support cancer patients. It helps to reduce symptoms like fatigue and pain. Results from a randomized, phase 2 clinical trial show that adding high-dose IV vitamin C to chemotherapy doubles the overall survival of patients with late-stage metastatic pancreatic cancer from eight months to 16 months.
Other studies have been done validate whether high-dose vitamin C has anti-cancer effects, but none have concluded this definitively. Nevertheless, it is clear that it has a positive effect on those undergoing cancer treatments.
While vitamin C treatments may be done at a doctor’s office or hospital, they can often be very costly. At Prime IV Hydration & Wellness, we offer vitamin C therapy and in a spa-like environment to help with stress reduction, which can also help you manage your health and wellbeing.
