Benefits of intravenous vitamin C injection

So, why does naturopathic treatment offer intravenous vitamin C injections specifically? Several factors influence this, namely:

Speed of actionIntravenous administration works faster and allows for a precise amount of nutrients in the body.
Effectiveness of actionWhen taken orally, part of the vitamin dose is destroyed in the stomach. With intravenous vitamin C injection, the dose is controlled and more of the nutrient can have positive effects on the body. 
Reduced impact on stomachWith prolonged or high dose oral use, vitamin C can cause digestive issues and diarrhea. Intravenous injection does not have these disadvantages.
Ability of high dosingIntravenous vitamin C injection is often chosen because it allows for the administration of a high dose of vitamin into the body. This is an important benefit of adjunctive treatment for certain diseases.

Sometimes, doctors also recommend vitamin C and glutathione injections together. 

The key point is that this procedure should be performed by an experienced specialist. A Noumena naturopath in Mississauga will help you choose the right dose and administer the injection. For more information, feel free to email us or call our clinic.
