Intravenous Vitamin C (IVC) Therapy

Intravenous Vitamin C (IVC) delivers high doses of vitamin C, typically ranging from 25g to 100g. Intravenous high doses of vitamin C is a pro-oxidant. This approach differs significantly from the low-dose, oral antioxidant vitamin C used for general health and wellness.

Common chemotherapeutic agents such as cisplatin ,methotrexate, and doxorubicin have pro-oxidant properties. Pro-oxidant therapy, in these conventional agents, increases the production of reactive oxygen species inducing oxidative stress which then selectively kills cancer cells.
