Vitamin C high dose infusion therapy
Vitamin C therapy:
Vitamin C is a micronutrient essential for survival. Unfortunately, unlike most animals, humans have lost the ability to self-synthesize it during evolution.
We have to supply vitamin C. Intake through food is limited by a restricted absorption in the intestine. It is therefore not surprising that about one third of the population is subclinically deficient.
Increased oxidative stress increases vitamin C demand:
-
Common cold, flu-like infection
-
Injuries
-
malnutrition
-
Age
-
Alcohol consumption
-
Smoking
-
Inflammations of any kind
Vitamin C is involved in many vital metabolic steps and is the most effective physiological antioxidant in the blood. Oxidative stress induces vitamin C deficiency, this increases inflammation and disrupts immune, nerve, bone, skin and connective tissue function in particular.
