Vitamin C
Vitamin C, or L-ascorbic acid, is an integral part of the human body. It is essential for us—our bodies cannot produce it—so we must obtain it from food or dietary supplements. It is a significant and powerful antioxidant that participates not only in immune responses but also in many other processes in the body.
It belongs to the group of water-soluble vitamins, so overdose is not possible. If the body takes in more vitamin C than it can process, it simply excretes the excess.
What are the effects of vitamin C?
Vitamin C has several beneficial effects on the body:
-
As an antioxidant, it protects cells from oxidative stress
-
Reduces fatigue and exhaustion
-
Contributes to the proper functioning of metabolic processes
-
Helps reduce stress and supports mental well-being
In addition, vitamin C is essential for collagen formation during the regeneration of soft tissues, thereby contributing to the healing of muscles and joints and the revitalization of the skin.
How does vitamin C deficiency manifest?
Lower levels of vitamin C are typically associated with several characteristic symptoms:
-
Increased fatigue
-
Feelings of weakness and exhaustion
-
Joint and muscle pain
-
Reduced immunity
-
Bleeding gums and bone softening—scurvy
If you notice any of these symptoms, it is important to start supplementing vitamin C as soon as possible. The most common approach is to obtain it from various natural food sources or dietary supplements.
However, the fastest and most effective solution is targeted administration of a high dose of vitamin C by infusion.
Why is vitamin C infusion therapy better?
To maximize the therapeutic effect of vitamin C, a high concentration in blood plasma is needed. When taken in smaller amounts via the digestive tract, the body automatically absorbs only a limited quantity. The ideal solution is therefore to administer a high dose intravenously, in infusion form, bypassing the digestive system and delivering it directly into the vein.
At our clinic, we administer the specific medicinal product Vitamin C INJEKTOPAS 7.5 g – infusion solution.
Who is vitamin C infusion therapy suitable for?
Intravenous vitamin C is particularly suitable for people experiencing oxidative stress. The most common cases include patients with:
-
High physical load (athletes)
-
Chronic fatigue syndrome
-
Post-COVID syndrome
-
Viral and bacterial illnesses: mononucleosis, Lyme disease, herpes
-
Allergic diseases
-
Histamine intolerance
-
Degenerative or rheumatic joint diseases
Beyond these indications, vitamin C infusion therapy is also suitable during rehabilitation after injuries or surgeries to support soft-tissue regeneration.
How does a vitamin C infusion proceed?
After scheduling a specific appointment:
-
You will complete an intake form focused on your health status and whether you can undergo the treatment.
-
Urination is required before the infusion.
-
The infusion is administered with a single-use needle, either lying down or seated.
-
After the infusion, thorough hydration is important; the treatment takes about 30 minutes.
