Vitamin C w/ port access

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a potent antioxidant. It reduces oxidative stress, helps to decrease inflammation within the body, and plays an important role in many of your body’s other functions. Not having enough vitamin C can lead to scurvy in the most extreme cases. In less severe cases, it can cause other symptoms, such as increased susceptibility to infections, loosening of teeth, dryness of the mouth and eyes, loss of hair, dry itchy skin, fatigue, and insomnia. High-dose intravenous vitamin C can be used to address a variety of health concerns.

A G6PD is required for Vitamin C doses >10G. If you have G6PD results from a previous clinic, please bring it with you to your first appointment. If you are unfamiliar with G6PD, it will be explained during your appointment.

The COST for Vitamin C infusions varies based on dose.
