VITAMIN C
Bacteria and viruses are everywhere – in us, on us and around us. Some are beneficial, while others wreak havoc if your immune system
is not prepared to fight them. Without adequate nutritional support, your immune cells are fighting a losing battle. Antioxidants and other vitamins
support a robust immune system that protects you from getting viral infections, and significantly reduces the symptoms and duration if you do get sick.
A Vitamin C mega dose is a great way to kickstart your immune system, to detect and block invading pathogens before they can harm your health.
Treatment Details
Perfect for boosting your immune system, Vitamin C injection
gives you the boost you need to help fight off illnesses like the
common cold and flu.
How It Works
Vitamin C injection is a quick, safe and effective way to quickly boost your Vitamin C levels. Oral supplements have to be broken down in your digestive system and absorbed by your liver before entering your bloodstream, reducing their potency and delaying their effectiveness. Injection delivers a Vitamin C mega dose directly to your body, where it is quickly circulated to cells throughout your body. Vitamin C therapy is a smart solution for days when you’ve been exposed to large crowds of people, or when you’re run down and stressed out. Healthcare workers can benefit from high dose Vitamin C to boost their immune systems, for added protection from exposure to infected patients.

Are there any side effects?
Who is not a candidate for Vitamin C injections?
We do not recommend our Vitamin C injection for anyone who is pregnant, nursing or has heart, liver or kidney disease, active cancer or is undergoing chemotherapy.
Injections will be given in the muscle. After sanitizing, your clinician will use their thumb and forefinger to hold the skin tight and administer the shot. After you receive the injection you will remain at the office for 15 minutes to watch for adverse reactions.
The injection is quick, and any soreness will wear off over the next 24 hours.
We recommend getting an injection at least twice per month to maintain health vitamin C levels. When exposed to illness we recommend coming in as soon as possible if you have not had an injection in the last week.
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin which means your body cannot store it, so you can easily become depleted. In addition, Vitamin C is
destroyed by heat, which means that many processed foods, including orange juice, contain minimal amounts of Vitamin C. Without enough
Vitamin C, especially when you’re stressed or tired, you may be setting yourself up for infections and multiple other metabolic problems.
