Intravenous vitamin C

- to promote collagen production
- to prevent wrinkles
- for prevention of spring fatigue
- in case of concentration problems, mental stress or physical exertion (including sports)
- to prevent chronic diseases under the influence of increased stress
- in case of oxidative stress - when you are overworked, have a poor diet, are tired, overcome the acute phase of an inflammatory disease (which can become chronic)

After taking 200 mg of vitamin C in tablet form, the body absorbs 100% of the ingested vitamin. However, if you increase the dose of the vitamin in the tablets, the amount of vitamin absorbed decreases. At a dose of 1 g, it is only 50% - the body has a limited amount of carriers in the intestine for vitamin C. By taking vitamin C in food or in tablet form, it is possible to reach a level of 1.5 mg / dl, infusion is more than 40 mg / dl.

Preventive - low dose treatment

1. completion of a questionnaire confirming that you are not being treated for diseases for which infusion therapy is used. C does not serve:
- Disorders of iron metabolism and its storage in the body (thalassemia, hemochromatosis, sideroblastic anaemia),
- tendency to form kidney stones - in the so-called oxalate urolithiasis (if you are monitored by a urologist for nephrolithiasis).

Therapeutic - high-dose treatment

1. uric acid and creatinine determination the day before (exclusion of limiting factors by the kidneys and gout)
2. completion of a questionnaire confirming that you are not being treated for conditions for which infusion therapy is used. C does not serve:
- Disorders of iron metabolism and its storage in the body (thalassemia, hemochromatosis, sideroblastic anaemia),
- tendency to form kidney stones - in the so-called oxalate urolithiasis (if you are monitored by a urologist for nephrolithiasis).

Warning - vitamin C may interfere with the effect of anticoagulants, taking it at the same time with fluphenazine reduces the effect of fluphenazine. Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin, anopyrin and other drugs containing them) increases their effect and at the same time decreases the effect of vitamin C. If you are taking chemotherapy, the interval between its administration and taking vitamin C should be 1-3 days, depending on the type of cytostatic drug.
