Vitamin C
WELLNESS BOOSTER
Vitamin C
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an essential nutrient that keeps the body functioning.
Vitamin C is also an antioxidant, meaning that it can neutralize free radicals that can damage cells at the genetic level.
Vitamin C has been used historically to prevent or treat scurvy and other illnesses associated with vitamin C deficiency. Today, it is widely touted as a natural defence against the common colds.
Health Benefits
Immune System Support: Vitamin C is well-known for its immune-boosting properties. Some people use vitamin C injections to help prevent and treat common colds, flu, and other infections.
Antioxidant Effects: Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can help neutralize free radicals in the body, which are believed to contribute to aging and various diseases. High-dose vitamin C injections may provide enhanced antioxidant benefits.
Collagen Production: Vitamin C is essential for the synthesis of collagen, a protein that is crucial for skin, cartilage, and bone health. Some individuals seek vitamin C injections for skin rejuvenation and wound healing.
Cancer Support: Some cancer patients use high-dose vitamin C injections as a complementary therapy alongside conventional cancer treatments. There is ongoing research on whether high-dose vitamin C may help reduce the side effects of chemotherapy or improve the overall well-being of cancer patients, but results are mixed.
Energy Boost: Vitamin C is involved in the production of energy within the body and may help combat fatigue and enhance overall vitality.
Antiviral Properties: There is some research suggesting that high-dose vitamin C may have antiviral properties, which can be useful in the context of certain viral infections.
