What is high-dose vitamin C IV therapy?
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that the body needs for collagen production, wound healing and immune function. When taken by mouth, absorption is limited, so intravenous delivery is used in clinics to reach higher levels in the blood. The infusion is given slowly over about half an hour to an hour while you rest, and the dose is set by the doctor after reviewing your health.
In skin clinics, vitamin C drips are commonly used as supportive care for dull skin and as part of brightening plans, sometimes combined with glutathione. People also choose it when they feel tired or run down. Evidence for cosmetic benefits is limited, so we present it as a complement to, not a replacement for, targeted skin treatments and good sun protection.
Who is a good candidate for a vitamin C drip?
- Healthy adults wanting antioxidant support
- People with dull skin following a brightening plan
- Those feeling tired during travel or a busy schedule
- Anyone looking for a treatment with no downtime
High-dose vitamin C is not suitable for everyone. People with G6PD deficiency, kidney disease or a history of kidney stones, iron overload, or who are pregnant should not have it unless a doctor advises otherwise. The doctor will ask about your medical history, and a blood test may be needed before high doses.
