Vitamin C IV Therapy

What is Vitamin C IV Therapy?

Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) plays a significant role in several essential physiological processes and is an essential nutrient for immune function and preventing oxidative dysfunction from excess free radicals (Antioxidant).

Humans do not produce Vitamin C naturally, so we are required to obtain Vitamin C via diet or supplementation. We are limited to a maximum of 1000 mg per hour of Vitamin C absorbed in the GI tract before irritation or diarrhea occur. By infusing Vitamin C IV, Enovative Wellness is able to provide 100% absorption of higher doses of Vitamin C without these side effects.

Enovative Wellness offers Vitamin C IV therapy as a 12.5 gram Antioxidant “Low Dose” or 25 gram Pro-Oxidative “High Dose” Vitamin C IV. Vitamin C infused at lower doses (12.5-20 gram) is a potent antioxidant that can stimulate the immune system, increase white blood cell count to help fight infections, improve collagen production, and increase energy production via increased carnitine production.

Vitamin C infused at higher doses (>25 grams) allows the Vitamin C concentration in the body to reach a peak saturation where its activity become Pro-oxidative. Pro-oxidative means the creation of free radicals and reactive oxygen species (Hydrogen Peroxide) that have antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-neoplastic properties.

Glutathione

Glutathione is a powerful and essential antioxidant that our body produces. Glutathione is found in high concentrations in the brain and liver and consists of 3 amino acids: cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine.

Enovative Wellness prefers IV Glutathione as it is not optimally absorbed orally because the GI tract and liver have significant levels of an enzymes which dissolve the bonds between the amino acids before it can be effectively absorbed.

Glutathione is critically important in reducing toxicity and oxidative stress in the liver, brain, and lungs. When administered intravenously in high doses, glutathione increases the uptake of cysteine into cells which works to protect the body from toxicity by increasing liver function. Additionally, this removal of free radicals and toxins can improve the health of hair skin and nails.

Glutathione

IV glutathione is included with every Brain ReGen IV therapy and can be added to Vitamin C or FastVitaminIV® therapy or provided as a stand-alone in the treatment of:

  • Parkinson’s Disease
  • Hepatitis
  • Toxicity
  • Neuropathy
  • Peripheral Arterial Diseases (PAD)
  • NASH
  • Inflammation
  • Hyperpigmentation
