High Dose Vitamin C IV Therapy delivers a powerful antioxidant boost directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for maximum absorption. This method is often used to support immune health, reduce inflammation, and aid the body’s natural healing process. Unlike oral supplementation, high dose vitamin C IV therapy allows for therapeutic levels of vitamin C that can’t be achieved through diet alone.
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), vitamin C has been studied for its antioxidant and immune-modulating effects. Ongoing research continues to explore its potential therapeutic applications, including in chronic illness and integrative cancer care.
At Biofuse, our High Dose Vitamin C IVs are compounded under clinical oversight to ensure safety and efficacy. We frequently support post-surgical patients and individuals managing high physical stress, making us a trusted provider for advanced wellness care.

What Are the Benefits of High Dose Vitamin C IV Therapy?
High dose vitamin C IV therapy offers a wide range of benefits, particularly for individuals seeking immune resilience, skin vitality, and long-term wellness. By delivering concentrated vitamin C directly into the bloodstream, this treatment supports key physiological functions that promote healing, balance, and cellular health.
Immune Support: High dose vitamin C stimulates the production and function of white blood cells, the body's primary defenders against infection. This may help reduce the frequency and severity of colds, flu, and other viral illnesses.
Antioxidant Protection: As a powerful antioxidant, vitamin C helps neutralize free radicals—unstable molecules that contribute to cellular damage and aging. This protection is crucial for maintaining healthy tissues and reducing oxidative stress, which is linked to chronic diseases.
Inflammation Reduction: Chronic inflammation is a contributing factor in many conditions, including autoimmune disorders and joint pain. Vitamin C helps reduce pro-inflammatory markers in the body, offering relief for individuals with inflammation-related concerns.
Skin & Collagen Health: Vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis, a protein that maintains the skin's elasticity and firmness. Regular infusions can support skin hydration, reduce fine lines, and promote a more youthful appearance.
Tissue Repair: High dose vitamin C aids in tissue repair and supports cellular health by helping reduce oxidative stress and enhancing collagen production. It also helps the body detoxify from environmental pollutants—beneficial for those exposed to high stress or pollution.

How Does High Dose Vitamin C Work?
When administered intravenously, high dose vitamin C bypasses the gastrointestinal system and enters the bloodstream directly. This ensures optimal bioavailability and allows your body to absorb and utilize the nutrient at levels far beyond what oral supplements can provide.
Acts as a Cofactor: Participates in key enzymatic reactions vital for collagen production, neurotransmitter synthesis, and metabolic health.
Enhances Immune Function: Boosts production of lymphocytes and phagocytes—white blood cells that defend the body—and supports the skin barrier against pathogens.
Accelerates Wound Healing: Vitamin C contributes to connective tissue repair, aiding recovery after injury or surgery.
Supports Detoxification: Assists liver function and enhances the elimination of toxins, reducing the body’s oxidative load.
Delivers Therapeutic Plasma Levels: IV administration allows for pharmacologic levels of vitamin C in the bloodstream—levels that are not achievable with oral supplements.
Pro-Oxidant Effect in Cancer Research: At very high doses, vitamin C also acts as a pro-oxidant by generating hydrogen peroxide in the extracellular space. Research suggests this may help selectively damage certain cancer cells—particularly those with low catalase or glutathione peroxidase—while sparing healthy cells. This effect is only achieved through IV delivery and should be considered investigational.
Note: High dose vitamin C is not a cure for cancer and should only be used under medical supervision as part of an integrative treatment plan.
